We can get rid of the domain squatters by requiring prepayment. It is a very simple answer. As for the spammers, we need to enact "Spammer Season" wherein it is legal to enact whatever type of painful demise on them. This should only be legal during "Spammer Season" which I propose should start on 1 January and run through 30 December. We should use the 30 Dec - 1 Jan period to allow any "non-spammers" to flee known spammer habitat lest they be confused for pray during the season. Unlike deer season, the use of high-powered, fully automatic weapons should be encouraged, along with baiting, the use of explosives, etc. Rid the planet of these nasty vermin! When we are done, which will probably take several years of all out spambastard vs NetOps war, if NetSOL has not changed their practices, we can just change the name of the season to NetSOL season. I do believe that at that point, we would have to enact a few rules. Like, low level employees can only be put at risk of any nature if you have a clear shot at middle management. The use of thermonuclear weapons would be authorized in any situation where there is risk of or suspicion that upper level management are present.
