    Hey guys, I had one of my domins registered at Directdot , this morning I'm recieving an email, that the domain name is suspended, because their ha been one complaint of spam, and the only thing I've done wit that domain is parked it at sedo. Now I can't even transfer it to a new registar, or remove it to re-register it. This is so useless...

    Thanks for the info. You should be allowed to transfer it though. If its important contact a lawyer.

    Godaddy? I had the same case with my Godaddy domain. Just the same.
    Some scammer post one abuse and blocked my domain with developed site!
    I asked them to provide me with IP, email servers of the abuser - but nothing.
    I just made an angry telephone call to their office and they unblocked my domain in 2 minutes :D
    So - my advise is not to communicate by email in that case but to CALL the registrar.

    That sucks! So note taken, I will never use Directdot.

    I had a similar thing happen to me with dynadot (someone reported spam), but dynadot reacted completly different. I just wrote about it today, read it here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=970837

    Go to dynadot, your name is safe there.

    They appear to be a DirectI/PublicDomainRegistry reseller. IIRC there is maybe
    an Indian law placing liability on service providers for things like phishing and
    spamming, even if they say they don't allow such.

    Unfortunately India-based service providers, including registrars and resellers,
    are obligated to comply with that...or else.

    Hi there,

    It looks like DirectI are under some kind of attack or personal vendetta against their easy to access form where you can report a spam.

    I am sure they will take some kind of measure against it. Just submit your ticket and ask them a resolution.

    I was very upset to get the same thing with two of my domains which believe me were really innocent, haven't been even used them, were active but trully not active, no email activated, no page installed.

    So, let's get together on a protest form and I initiated a very specific and determined thread in our defense here and we'll eventually end up getting our domains back and some compensation from DirectI which I used to think is not a bad registrar.
