In fact, Joker consistently processes > registrations with obviously bogus contact info (999-999-9999 as a > phone number, null as an address, etc.) Joker operates under ICANN rules just like all the other registrars which includes a duty to correct information. If they are not acting on bogus info report them. > Joker used to be registrar of choice among geeks...a great many who > still have their domains there and a much smaller subset who still > register new domains through them.

According to the terms and conditions "Go Daddy also may in its sole discretion and without liability to you....cancel the registration of a domain name, after thirty (30) days, if that name is being used in association with spam or morally objectionable activities. Morally objectionable activities will include, but not be limited to: activities designed to....embarrass....third parties;" While I am all for stopping spam I hope nobody is upset by any site you might register....big brother (or should that be big daddy) is watching you....so much for free speech.
