minus-squareSalvo@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·7 days agoI have an id.au domain and my registrar recently deregistered it on me until I provided proof that that was my private name. The problem was that their main contact for me was the email address using my id.au domain! Turns out, auDA caused all the registrars to panic and be overzealous. My registrar had also replaced all their support staff with a stupid algorithm. I finally got it resolved using… the credit card I have used to pay my registration for the last 10 years!
