They charge $199 to get your domain back after a spam complaint.
How about this?

I had one of my domain names held hostage by them about 5 months ago. They told me they had received a complaint about spam for my domain and so I was required to pay $199USD. I told them to fuck off and wanted to transfer the domain to netsol, but godaddy REFUSED to allow me to transfer without first paying them the $200. I took me more than a month of yelling at their 'managers' on the phone who didn't give a shit about ICANN regulations before they allowed the transfer

How about
Godaddy suspends a domain for ONE COMPLAINT from Myspace over
1 EMAIL that was part of a mailing list archive and not sent from the suspended domain? The owner of that domain didn't do anything wrong and his domain was suspended.
And what about ICANN
taking action on Godaddy's
60 day prohibition of transfers which is against ICANN rules?
Godaddy is not to be trusted
