I'm sure you know this, but dot com domains are not Nominet's concern. They are a regional domain registry for the .uk gTLD only, and their rules only affect those domains. By using a fake name on a dot com domain, "Monkey Wonder" is in fact breaking ICANN's rules. It doesn't matter if the dot com was registered through a British domain name registration service - ICANN's rules still apply.

Also, if you're a non-trading individual using a .uk domain, you can opt-out your address from the whois database, but I believe your name must still be listed*. I find it hard to believe that Nominet would let you use a false name like "Monkey Wonder", but that doesn't apply here anyway. ICANN certainly don't allow it.

I'm surprised nobody has complained about that post listing the domain informatoin because it clearly lists somebody's home address. What is it with these blacklisting types managing to expose their very own personal details and allowing everybody to join the dots? Something similar happened with Mikey RedZone but he wasn't too vulnerable originally due to the US's lax data protection regulations. If Mr "Wonder" is maintaining blacklists, then I just hope he's a registered data controller and following the ICO's code of practice (as is required of him) because failure to do so may be detrimental to his other business interests.

* I may be wrong about that. I've registered numerous .uk and .eu domains over the years, and I can't remember if it's Nominet or EurID that make you leave your full name exposed when you opt-out of whois. My (appalling) memory is trying to convince me that it's Nominet though.

Cris already removed the address from that post.

Well I don't want to sound catty but it looks as though someone's RL has echoes of SL.

I Googled the postcode in the WhoIs information and there's a company registered to that address & it's accounts are overdue and it's being proposed to strike it off the Register of Company's. Too much time spent elsewhere perhaps?

which is now rugs since i now have just wood floors =)

and also when i do my carpets ..it's distilled vinegar and baking soda..

really the only three things well 4 things you really need to clean your house and do laundry and just about anything is..baking soda distilled vinegar .lemon juice mainly with dishes..and club soda..

Casey Pelous

Lyndka, that seems like RL info to me ... please remove at least until you can have Cris review it. Thanks!

Arkady Arkright

My apologies, you're correct about the name being exposed - no problem if you have a common one like 'John Smith', but a bit of a bugger if you're 'Zaphod Beeblebrox'. However, as Tyche said, in the UK you can have as many names as you want - and there's no rules about which name you give to Nominet...

i was just goofing around on google just killing time before i go to sleep to go to work tonight..

i figured i would do a couple of searches as kind of an experiment to see something..
first i did monkey's
i found some links to his blog..then links to blogs about the black list ..even some that go on about things being said in public chat that just regular users are saying this thing does..or did..i don't know..maybe he has all that name and shame public bot stuff fixed already..
that's kind of beside the point..

anyways..then i decided to do a search on green zone..
i didn't really realize just how many blogs and sites have kept track of everything..
there is a lot of stuff out there showing we are not this kind of group that this guy is trying to make us out to be..
really he just looks like he has something to hide the way he is coming after us..
he is just another security guy trying to defame the group to get popular..

let him lie and lie and lie all he wants..i think the groups reputation speaks for itself with the way google has just lots of information showing another target on greenzones back..again and again..
let him look like another one of those guys if he wants..
google him and then google the group and it's a one sided affair where he looks like he is just swinging in the wind at nothing..

if anyone says monkey is saying this and this about the group..just shrug it off like...omg is that guy still going on with all that?
i really thought the jira one was original though having those plants in there..the 4th was it? same day as the bots in that bot house..i mean sploder location..

really if people have questions just ask them to google him then google us..let them make up their own minds..
if they want security help we will help them..if they want to play his sploder..well at least they made an informed decision..
the group is still pretty quiet when i go in there..maybe i'll start to wake them up and see if maybe anyone wants some help..this monkey guy is getting kinda booring *winks*

Yeah but to my mind, the question is whether Nominet (or ICANN) have any rules about what sort of alias or pseudonym they'll accept if it's not one by which you're generally known. Quite possibly they don't -- I just don't know.

Ann Otoole

ICANN governs all domains. The rules are clear. If it bugs you then report it to the ISP. Another interesting factor is LL rules about domain names. Personally I am staying out of it. Too much personal data has been released on this guy already.

Nominet - Registrant Types

I'm going to take a wild guess that they consider everything but the name on your birth certificate, driving license or passport to be an alias or pseudonym.

None of this is relevant to Monkey Wonder's domain name because his is a dot com and Nominet don't set the rules for those.

Damp towel and an iron.

Use a towel you don't like, though.

{eta} or do like the video.

Yeah, the entities which administer national gTLDs (like .uk, .eu, etc.) are delegated authorities, but ICANN allows them to set their own rules to some extent. The whois opt-out mechanism for non-trading individuals in European countries is one of the more noticeable feature differences between European and United States domain registrations.

Beezle Warburton

Apparently forgot the tarp, though >.>

Beezle Warburton

Eh, that's no fun.

Ann Otoole

Yet it has exactly zip to do with .com domains and this topic only has to do with .com domain rules. All the other crap about .eu or whatever is off topic.

As for the domain name format it took me a while to find the buried policy to review and it looks ok as long as voodoo is not a generic word. If the "sploders" were to ever be deemed gambling then it would be a different story. Likewise if it were determined the domain name was used in conjunction with any TOS violation (perhaps defamation of groups or persons?).

Walker

But I was always a bit rusty!

...and I have been having really bad problems with my memory since the end of last year... which makes me seem slower and more dim than usual. Anyway, things have improved to the point I can actually keep track of conversations from one day to the next now so I'm dipping my toes in a bit more. Thank you (and the same to Elysium too). <3

Potosi

Oh and once again I'll say it. Show me the proof. Screenshots and not some copy paste text that can be made up by anybody. But you know what, he seems to be lacking in that proof somehow.

Not to mention he complains about people attacking folks in the JIRA when he is guilty of doing the exact same thing in another older JIRA. But then he shouldn't have to follow his own rules I guess.

So the only bullshit here is... well you and Monkey.
