A registrar that invalidates domains just for having swear words is bounds beyond what is acceptable here in the west.
From your other posts, I gather you live in south-east asia, so I guess it's a local domain.

My domain is actually .ch. I am not entirely sure how this goes, and i highly assume swear words are not what i actually ment. They just reserve their right to invalidate domains a few days in case they are inappropriate (i think that is the exact phrasing they use). This is also true for .eu, .de, .it, .li, .at but i doubt it happens often. Maybe it only refers to using registered trademarks? Dunno
I just tried to look it up. Seems it mostly happens for things like "Trademarksucks" which is afaik illegal (smearing or whatever the law is called) in most of europe.
My point rather was is that they can not take it away from me. My specific registrar only allows themself to invalidate domains for a few days when they contain swear words. I am not entirely sure if they can increase the price while i own it. In fact last time they increased the price it did not affect me because i already owned it but only new registered domains. Even the renew was on the old price.
