They also have double standards, since the scam site they redirected to was in itself violating their ToS.
Anyway, the pdf you linked says that now they're no longer enforcing the "each domain must have a website" rule. I wonder if there's any truth in this.
I used to have a.tk domain for my website for several months, and I wouldn't recommend it. Everything was fine until a power outage forced my server to shutdown. As soon as the power was back up, I checked my.tk website only to find out that my domain was redirecting to a "you won a free ipad" scam site. I was certain that my dotTk account was hacked and so I wrote an email to the provider. Their response stated that this was in fact, a standard procedure: they have a script that every once in a while verifies that all.tk domains actually host a website. If it finds any domain without a website, and my domain registered as such because of the power outage, it is automatically redirected to a "sponsor" website. They said that the only way to avoid this is to upgrade to a premium account. They eventually restored my domain, but the damage was done. I had to personally call all my users (some of which are not very technical) to warn them about the scammers. Since then i moved to a paid domain (not.tk) and never looked back. You get what you pay for, and if you want a domain that actually works, a free.tk is not a good choice.

Here's my Nokia 3210. Of course it's good enough, I paid a lot for it back in 1999. What? You never said it HAS to be a smartphone...
