A few of their tactics to keep domains with them:
- No transfers away possible for 60 days after any change to the domain - think registrant contact, nameservers (?), just anything you can imagine

Godaddy is not that bad. I like that feature of not being able to transfer the domain away for a period of time, if the whois details are changed. That way, if one's account is compromised, the hacker can not change the administrative contact email on the domains and attempt to transfer them away. Although, I do think 60 days is a long period of time to have to wait. I think Godaddy should change that time frame to 30 days.
