If they aint listening to you they would probably not listen to any of us
either.

FWIW, RADB services are not free and as such....

Can we assume that squatters are paying a fee to maintain an IRR account
with RADB which then empowers them to create and maintain route objects for
Afrinic bogons or those orphan prefixes abandoned by those who had been
assigned.

Member services team can shade some light on this imho especially on how
Afrinic can tackle this going forward beyond just RFG or any interested
party who is not a staff of an RIR.
