My requirements as an operator[2] are clearly not met, I get loads of abuse complaints to my notify and changed addresses every week, which I have to forward to either the abuse dept or /dev/null.
So, the problem is mainly a marketing/education problem. No matter what change to objects or presentation will be agreed upon, nothing short of limiting access to the database would stop the uneducatable or "let's hit them all" type uncooperative tool writer. The education or usability problem can IMHO best be achieved with a dedicated interface for "abuse" purposes, be it a web interface or a dedicated whois server. No new objects are needed.
will all e-mail addresses be wiped off standard whois interface? If not, ppl won't be forces to use the abuse interface. If yes, it would be very hard to get to right ppl in any case. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
