I had 5 domains with RF and was able to transfer 4 of them. RF will not reply to my request for an auth code to transfer my 5th domain. Of course, the domain RF is holding hostage is a PR6 with thousands of backlinks and 100,000+ visitors monthly. My other domains they allowed to transfer had little traffic and just a few backlinks. I think it's more than just by chance that RF is holding my best domain hostage.

That's why ICANN, the ICANN logo and the concept of ICANN accreditation have proven to be total failures. The only thing ICANN cares about is ICANN. They claim it is not their job to regulate the industry. If it is not ICANN's job, then who's job is it? As it stands now, the entire domain system is a free for all without any regulation or protection whatsoever for the individual domain owner. Domain and business owners are hostages to companies that can act in any manner they please. This current situation between Registerfly and Enom (the result of two companies fighting) has put 900,000 people at risk. It is time to change the system. We need universal policy to ensure the fair and legal behavior of Registrars and a division of government with the authority to enforce it. ICANN has no authority.

I can't send a help ticket because I have no access to the account. Does anyone have any idea as to how I can force this company to respond to me? My account has been seized.

I have already lost 3 that expirefly sold, another 3 that they are "holding" and will soon lose yet another three. If ICANN can't prevent this, who can and who cares about the integrity of the system?
