8008135 reports that GoDaddy has just uncovered another revenue source. According to his report, he created a niche web-directory and send an offer for free listings to a small discussion group he is part of. Apparently someone reported it as spam.
And if GoDaddy receives a spam report they consider credible, they will charge you a $199 non-refundable spam abuse fee. If you don’t pay that fee, they cancel your services, which apparently includes ‘redirecting’ your domain name. Which I would imagine includes redirecting it to a parking page.

Isn’t GoDaddy also the registrar that charges a $29.00 fee when they receive a domain name dispute?

Update:

Turns out that I should have read on, as the story continued: There is no fee to be paid since the complaint volume ‘appears to have tapered off’. GoDaddy now considers the case closed. A day ago they were still planning on charging $199 USD for it, but now it’s considered closed.
