If domain names cost $0.01 a year, wouldn't domain squatting become worse?

- ChristianBundy 13y agoI look at it like emails – yes, we could make it so that it costs $0.50 to send an email, and this would make less people spam... but it isn't an elegant solution. I think that domain name squatters should be flagged and the domains should be removed if they aren't being used appropriately. Furthermore, bulk domain registration should be banned – I can't think of a simple reason that this should be allowed.

That would be a fantastic solution to email spam! > I think that domain name squatters should be flagged and the domains should be removed if they aren't being used appropriately. Who gets to flag squatters? How do we define "used appropriately?" Who gets to decide whether a squatter meets that definition? A system of flagging is more complicated than you think.
