I've seen some of the domain kiting firsthand, and it takes perfectly good domains that people might actually develop into a contributing site and ties it up for a very short time. Then it drops back into the domain pool. It's no wonder I keep seeing some of the same domains continually dropped back into the domain pool over and over again. I'd rather see a system, where you can't return a domain once you purchased it. It's yours until you failed to renew it or let it go. Period.

There's no dialog or option for you to not steal (yes, that's right, STEAL) somebody's domain name for 4 days. Your "protection" measure is flat out domain abuse of the worst form. It is far worse than so-called "domain tasting" or kiting. If you truly believed in this 20 cent measure by ICANN, you would cease your implementation of this practice immediately. Until you do so, you are worse than the people whom you claim to be against. Frankly, your statements on this matter are entirely hypocritical and worthless.
