Banned email?

[bigalpha]

I tried signing up for the first time ever, and it kept telling me my email was banned. I tried two different emails. They are gmail accounts.

I've already emailed the administrator, but was curious if anyone else knew why? I know some places ban certain domains.

gmail is full of spam and fake people, your better off not using it. i know every spam email i get is #####@gmail.com.

Most gmail accounts that register are spam. So we banned the @gmail domain.

[bigalpha]

Oh.

Is there a case-by-case system set up to allow gmail accounts?

Oh.

Is there a case-by-case system set up to allow gmail accounts?

Am I guessing there is none?

[Jim Oaks]

I deleted the gmail ban a few days ago. We added a change to the forum that increases security through membership confirmation and it has significantly reduced the amount of spam we get.

So far it's completely eliminated it. Let's hope it sticks...

[Jspafford]

Not to mention the cut in pay now since we don't sit on here for hours killing spam!

[bigalpha]

Cool, that works out just dandy!

:D
