    Honestly, blocking TLDs is a really dumb way of spam filtering. Pretty much all the spam/scam sites I’ve seen are on paid TLDs anyway.

    Also, fuck domain flipping. I hate it when people try to sell domains at ludicrous prices. It only harms the internet as a whole and accomplishes nothing of value.
