message: The sentence This is made impossible by all other services impossible. doesn't make any sense and is very confusing. I have not removed it because it probably serves some purpose, but I do wonder what was meant by it. The sentence should either be removed or written in a way that makes sense.

message: I did a google search on "gumtree .tk" and "gumtree .tk spam" and I don't see any relevant results on the first page save this wikipedia article.  I hope that should someone fail to include a cite for those statements they will be deleted as they are quite unencyclopedic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thane Eichenauer (talk • contribs) 20:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Controversy

message: My virus program finds a lot of malware from the .tk domain, and they still won't take down paid for domains that are known malware vendors. I'd like to just block the whole thing. 
I tried .tk in my hosts file but that didn't work, and it doesn't take wildcards like *.tk 
Oh, the malware was at www2.megosave2.tk  and about a dozen other variants.

Tokelau has yet to take it down. Maybe next year after two million more exploit-affected machines.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.163.163 (talk) 21:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Dot tk uses frames for short urls and changes both the favicon and title of the site linked to. This promotes their site further and prevents short urls from being used on mobile sites even tho the site linked to might be a legit mobile site.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by InSyda (talk • contribs) 22:17, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Today .tk just de-registered my free domain from my profile, and put it out for sale as a paid domain, without any warning. I suppose they did it because I had increased the link value of "my" domain beyond a certain threshold over the past years. So it seems I've been doing voluntary work for them for many years, without even realizing it. I know about WP's NOR policy, so I'm not going to add anything to the article, but they certainly seem to behave like scammers. Starting to get fed up with the whole DNS circus. - Soulkeeper (talk) 16:08, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Domain limit

message: Please, remove "In order to ensure that names are being used, there is a minimum usage policy of 25 hits in 90 days" as this rule was removed on early 2012 by http://wiki.tk/25-unique-visitor-requirement-explained.
The only requirement on dot.tk is that the domain have a active website (http://www.dot.tk/en/dottk_pressrelease_12272011_en.pdf, first page, first paragraph of the "Safest domain extension" section).
Also remove "up to three domain names free of charge" because current Terms and Conditions (http://www.dot.tk/en/doc_tcfree_v360.pdf, on "Introduction", 5th line) say:
"You have registered with us to receive from one (1) to an unlimited number of FREE internet domain names"
Also users can access their Domain Panel (http://my.dot.tk/cgi-bin/domainpanel.taloha) that says (sadly it requires a account):
"Dot TK allows you to register an unlimited number of FREE domains and an unlimited number of PAID domain names."

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

thread_title:  Blacklisted Links Found on [[.tk]] 

message: Could an established editor please fix the usage in the following opening sentence:
"...no beforehand warning is given."
Probably the preferred fix would be to use "advance" (not "advanced", of course!) instead of "beforehand":
"...no advance warning is given."
Alternatively, "beforehand" should simply be moved after the verb:
"...no warning is given beforehand."
Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.68.85.31 (talk) 15:19, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
