How will you determine if it's causing problems, and at what point in the next 5 days will you potentially start those considerations?

We'll extend it for three weeks and if someone needs more time, I'll ask our support to make exceptions.

I don't think I can continue being a Namecheap customer if you're going to treat my patronage as a political bartering chip. What is happening in Russia right now is unequivocally abhorrent, but the efforts you're making are completely meaningless if you're just going to walk them back on a case-by-case basis. It's almost like such a sweeping action might have serious, collateral damage while also doing nothing to dissuade the war crimes that Russia is carrying out right now.

If you object to specific companies/governments using your service for wrongdoing, then address those cases individually. Pulling the rug out from an entire nation of users is horribly short-sighted and makes me question the values that made me use Namecheap in the first place.

Why don't you extend it to three weeks for everyone?

What if it's a historical blog without someone checking their email?

You guys are nuts.

What is the probability that you would simply revert this decision based upon community feedback?
