by making it a pain in the ass...no domain parker is going to spend 1 minute requesting each domain.

So just throw up a questionnaire that asks them who they are, what the domain is going to be used for, etc

Wouldn't they just pay some Chinese sweat shop a dollar a throw or something? If they're saving money on registration fees, I don't see how making it a little awkward will deter them.
Well it'd be up to the user then. They'll get to see the questionnaire of each person who wants the domain...So if the user wants to give his domain to Landing Pages, INC instead of Blind Hungry Crippled Orphans Charity that's up to them.

+ You can let the user make their own questionnaire ...so they can make their questions be as relevant as they want. i.e. lets say you own something like newyorkjetsftw.com, you'd ask some questions that only a true Jets fan would know or someone who'd want to spend the 10 minutes hunting down the information
