>They never had a real "no bullshit" policy. When I had my domains with them, I had been asked to verify my identity 34 times in 12 months. 34 separate fucking times. Because "ICANN says so" or some stupid shit (their words, not mine).

Can you elaborate what the "verification" entails? There is an ICANN requirement[1] to validate whois information, although I've only been asked to validate email (at another registar, not ghandi).

Wanted photos of passports, but they would always reject the first one for an unknown reason. The second one would always go through, but I do not understand why they wouldn’t just keep it on file. It was more than twice a months usually, and that was absurd.
