“You filthy-minded little pervert” error when registering obscene .to domains
- TkTech 9y agoFirst registry I've seen that lets you do a 100 year registration.
- bArray 9y agoYeah, that's pretty amazing if it's something they will stick to. Most I've seen is 10 years, which can be a bit short sited for something like a personal blog, an archive or permanent resource of some type.
- thinkfurther 9y agoTo save you time, when trying pussy.to: > You filthy-minded little pervert! > The Kingdom of Tonga admonishes you. Now go back and think of another name that you wouldn't be embarrassed to say to your mother. However: > Congratulations! > Your name penis.to is available.

- jff 9y agovagina.to is available, so it seems that medical/technical/'proper' terms are not blocked, merely slang. Edit: I love the web page design, unironically. Makes it feel like there's a cgi-bin directory full of Perl scripts in the background.
- qb45 9y agoInterestingly, certain non-medical names for the other organ give: Error This word is unacceptable as a domain name.
- catshirt 9y agoI recognize this may be a really unpopular opinion but lately I've been feeling like the lack of values and personality in ubiquitous apps like Instagram, Facebook, may be short sighted. don't get me wrong. i make web software- I get it. just build an interface to the data. but I also think a little personality and good will from these apps could help make the world a better place (Facebook does this in some respects, like celebrating birthdays and friendship anniversaries with fun videos). that all said... this kind of subjective censorship is totally not what I had in mind... perhaps it's a fine line. aside (but perhaps more relevant): I'm curious as to who arbitrates this blacklist, and who is responsible for the funny messaging it responds with.

- tomc1985 9y agoI've heard the "personality" that a lot of major sites use referred to as "the new sincerity," because apparently, somehow, "sincere" meant endlessly chipper and painfully patronizing.
- kevinmgranger 9y agoFacebook's "on this day" feature starts its blurb with "We care about you", and that just makes me uncomfortable.
- tomc1985 9y agoOh and their memories and friendiversary posts? I hate how easy those videos are for them to make, the entire feature is creepy. Facebook friendiversaries are stupid and should not add anything to anything's life, yet so many of my buds LOOOOOVE to share and celebrate.

- inopinatus 9y agoIt's the same way every farmer cares for their cattle.
- SystemOut 9y agoLooks to probably just be a banned word list as alternate/phonetic spellings get through their filter. phuck.to, kok.to, etc.
- ballenf 9y agoDang, dori.to is taken.
- gregjw 9y agoDang! burri.to is as well!
- worldsayshi 9y agoNot stilet.to though.

- petercooper 9y agoIt's not a fan of scunthorpe.to yet somehow analfisting.to is just fine :-D
- code_duck 9y agoI found another error in addition to the pervert error... 'This name contains an offensive substring'. Apparently that's for moderate level swear words.
- runnr_az 9y agoFor what it's worth, our team - the Domain Research Group - specializes in this kind of weirdness. Couldn't resist sharing this... (discovered when they decided to add support for Emoji Domains) Here's our report on unusual characters in the dotcom world: https://medium.com/@Emoji_Domains/all-the-dotcom-emoji-domains-5ad2f638b090 https://medium.com/@Emoji_Domains/all-the-dotcom-emoji-domai...
- knicholes 9y agoThe joke is on them. I'm not a little pervert. I'm a huge pervert.
- OzzyB 9y ago> Congratulations! > rape.to is available! I guess you're not a pervert if you're willing to engage in acts of violence and ignore consent :/
- goodcanadian 9y agoThis is the first meaning of "rape" that I ever learned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed
- OzzyB 9y agoThis is the first meaning of "pussy" that I ever learned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy
- amarant 9y agoI'm disappointed by the fact that this error comes with a response code 200. I was expecting either 69 or 666 or something of the kind! If your gonna be wonky, why not go all out? ;)
- throwaway2016a 9y agoI believe 406 Not Acceptable would be the proper response. While typically I would discourage using that response code unless the error is with the Accepts header. I would make an exception in this case Edit: Whoever downvoted me needs to get a life. I'm playing along with the joke not trying to correct amarant.
- supercoder 9y agoWho made you the boss of http codes
- throwaway2016a 9y agoChill dude. I was playing along with the joke. Also, a boss would say "You must use this code!" not politely discourage it... also W3C
- Animats 9y agoThat was George Tupou V's doing. When he was crown prince of Tonga, he set up the .to registry as a business operation. The original server was in the consulate in San Francisco. When he became king, he had to sell off the business. I knew some of the people involved with ".to", which was the first of the monetized ccTLDs. So, "The Kingdom of Tonga admonishes you" is not a joke. That message originally came from someone entitled to issue it. Topou V died in 2012.
- ksenzee 9y agoI doubt I will ever get to write an error message as great as "The Kingdom of Tonga admonishes you."
