But every time you tell people what they do wrong they can begin to figure out how the abuse detection works.
What if the threshold is at 25 domains, so instead people start opening multiple accounts that run only 24 domains. By telling people what precisely got them booted they can start varying parameters to see what the triggering mechanism is.
- ori_b 17y agoWell, you could be sufficiently vague - "Your account has been terminated for domain squatting on domain http://i-squat-here.com http://i-squat-here.com would tell him why his account had been terminated, but wouldn't reveal any sensitive information. And google's contactability for valid issues does still suck, with some exceptions.

- litewulf 17y agoNo, the problem is really that information disclosure is very tricky. The very fact that you get the notice "you were domain squatting on X" is actually useful for exploits. Whats the line where Google considers something domain squatting? Lets say its domain squatting if you have less than 5 pages of content, simply create tons of accounts with varying levels of content. What if the signal is "has tons of domains", then run Adsense on tons of domains and see what the threshold is. (etc etc etc)
- Ardit20 17y agoThat is like saying that the government should not tell us what is illegal because we may exploit the law. The way government deals with this is by allowing courts to make law. The alternative would be what google does. Say nothing and leave no way of protecting oneself.
