Right but that wouldn't apply here I'd assume, unless we're saying the customer's domain was already expired and they didn't renew it?

- robalfonso 4y agoIt does apply here. A domain does not need to be expired, a delete can be sent any time it’s active. The only prohibition is if the domain has “clientDeleteProhibited” status which the registrar can remove.
- kadoban 4y agoI must be missing something. Then why does your previous comment start with "When a domain expires" ?
- mrkstu 4y agoI think they are saying that is /why/ the capability exists, but in this case the capability is being used beyond its intended scope.
- robalfonso 4y agoPretty much, there have been times I’ve deleted a domain due to compliance/legal type issues. It’s more expedient than waiting for an expiration
- kadoban 4y agoThat's possible, but I'm _pretty_ sure that's not how it works, there are restrictions on what circumstances registrars are allowed to do various actions too.
- robalfonso 4y agoI was just illustrating the normal circumstance delete is used. But there is no reason a delete can’t be used any time on an active domain. All I can say is read the rfc or take my word for it, I’ve run a registrar.
