If you don't get a signiture, along with a copy of the front and back of
the card (with a matching signiture), you might as well just bill the
customer and wait 30-60 days for payment. You could ask them
for their social security number as proof that they are who they
say they are, that's about as secure as a credit card
number. Good luck even getting a collection agency to give you even 1%
using that as your evidence. Showing whether or not that is a "poor
company policy" is left as an exercise for the reader.

What you missed from these discussions is that most RSPs are requesting what is already available to registrars and can be implemented easily, for the benefit of the end user and quicker support for the end user. Noone here is saying there is no "risk" with credit cards. What they are implying and again you seem to have missed this is that RSP's who paid for a bogus registration woul like to have the power to reverse that process at least partially, by disallowing the bogus customer to use the domain. Get it?!!! Show me one registrar, even one, that lets you keep and use a domain after you have defaulted on payment and then I will buy your arguement.
