Does ICANN and parents alike...

The last thing we need is another domain.
How many kids click the Yes I'm 18 button to get into a site
anyway? There's no real verification, it's bullcrap.
I don't think porn is the problem to be honest.
The problem is the porn sites and scammers using email
to cheat people. You get crap in your email box you
don't want, didn't ask for, and have to deal with.
I think the problem is spam. Users don't have enough control
over their mailboxes. I get messages like "Hi" and it's
"hey visit www.yoursexsitehere. com oppsy delete space before
com". It's become a game of cat and mouse.
Since spammers and porn sites send out so many millions of
spam a day, here is an idea to reduce it.
1 email from an ip, server waits 1 second before sending it.
2 emails within specified time: server waits 2 seconds.
3 emails within specified time: server waits 3 seconds.
The spammer's email machine would grind to a halt in a
short matter of time. The only drawback to this is places
that send emails to a bunch of subscribers, like a
magazine or an organization like the ARRL.
Spammers say people want this crap, and the porn sites
keep churning it out. This year alone, I've reported
close to 200 yahoo email addresses that have sent spam
to my box. I have no answer, but a .xxx domain makes sense
in that one can block all email from the .xxx domain and
never have to deal with it. People that want it, get it.
People that don't don't. Simple all the way around.

There are a number of surefire way to prevent you children from looking at pornography.

1. You could remove your child's genitalia. After all, if they don't have sexual organs they won't be curious about them.

2. You could give them hormone injections to suppress their sexual development until they are 18 so that they won't be interested or curious.

3. You could actually educate your children about sex instead of lying to them about it, or denying it exists because of your own embarrassment and inability to discuss it calmly and rationally while answering the child's questions honestly and completely.

Or you could be an Adult and accept that if your Child is intent on looking at pornography they will be able to (heck I saw my first porn at 8 years old and the first PC's were years away from construction). It's not the worlds fault that it will happen, its solely the responsibility of you and your child. And in such acceptance it's better to be sensible and educate your children fully about sex and structure their morals such that THEY won't want to see porn. Frankly its all about your child moral structure, and personality. It's always been silly to me that a wild child that grows up and has a few kids suddenly thinks that their child can't possibly be wild, and becomes the same irate parent they had which drives them even harder to the behavior. Children exhibit similar personality traits and similar childhood behavior as their parents experienced. So if you looked at porn and were the class giggalo, expect your child to be as well.

Bet you thought that's original huh? It's called a tar pit, almost every legitimate email server implements them already. The problem isn't legitimate email servers, it's the millions of zombie pc's out there that the spammers set email servers up on and send out the spam from there.

So who are you going to blame, the owners of those PC's? Microsoft? or the Spammer? You wanna stop spam? Prosecute spammers and put them in jail, also prosecute those companies or individuals that pay the spammers. Once all the spam is originating outside the US (currently over 90% originates from the US, even if it's released from a zombie in another country) it becomes much easier to block those countries that don't prosecute spammers (like Russia).
