[UA-discuss] UA and phishiness

I am sure that there might be cases in which whole TLDs are blocked (one could guess that .xxx might be a case) but that should not mean that we “endorse” this radical choice.
Cheers,

which is what happens in all legacy TLDs.  I doubt any admin is blocking ALL of .com, .biz, .uk etc
my suggestion:

make sure you accept any TLD by default, but feel free to blacklist any domain name that you consider harmful

This seems reasonable, are there any objections?

we could advocate is: make sure you accept any TLD (and any domain name) by default, but feel free to blacklist those that you consider harmful

I think that system administrators should be aware that many more TLDs than the best known ones exist, including TLDs in non-ASCII characters, and even more will be introduced, and should support and accept all of them except if they think they have reasons to blacklist specific TLDs due to non-technical issues. So, what we could advocate is: make sure you accept any TLD (and any domain name) by default, but feel free to blacklist those that you consider harmful.
This would IMHO be an acceptable stance that does not enter into thorny content-related issues (because it does not tell anyone what to blacklist and when) but still promotes universal acceptance.
