I got a kick out of this list. Especially this sublist:

> (note: You must pay if you use .casa, .cf, .click, .email, .fit, .ga, .gdn, .gq, .loan, .london, .men, .ml, .pl, .rest, .ru, .tk, .top, .work TLDs due to spam)

Makes me want to search my spam folder for .gq out of curiosity alone.

What is wrong with these TLDs?

They all have very few legitimate users, and are frequently used by email spammers (typically because registrars have offered the domains at a steep discount or entirely free for the first year).

I'm sure that at least .ru and .pl have lots of legitimate users, but likely lots of spammers too.
