.PW added an innovative step to its landrush phase, supplying a list of premium domains at the opening of the phase rather than reserving them to be released and bit on later, which is generally the case.

A few months after the string was made available to the general public, spammers were widely abusing the domain, causing security companies to issue warnings to customers or block the domain wholesale. [[Directi]] stated that it has a zero-tolerance policy to spam and is fighting back, including deactivating about 5,000 domains for breaching its anti-abuse policy. The company also noted that such levels of spam are commonplace since spammers generally start using a new TLDs immediately while the general public is slower to register new TLDs.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/12895-directi-fighting-massive-pw-spam-outbreak Directi fighting Massive Spam Outbreak, Domain Incite] Retrieved 13 Sept 2013</ref>
