No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
That's interesting, as they are the two providers best at removing spam and stopping it from coming to their clients' inboxes. If the message had said "we don't allow gmail or yahoo because the people we sell your email addresses to don't want those because their spam can't get through." I would have believed that.

Re: No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
300blktalk lifted the gmail restriction for a while, and got assaulted with Nike spam in a weird language. They let us know they were lifting it, so we could all switch over to our primary emails addresses before things went haywire.
Proper grammar is awesome.

It would be nice if once you registered
You could change to a yahoo or Gmail
I had to use work email and am not fond of that

Whenever Robert lifts the ban, we get inundated with spam bots.

Re: No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
gmail is not banned because I don't like it. It is banned because when it is not banned, we get up to 120 porn spams per day. They should charge $1 to register an account and require a credit card. That would solve the problem of spammers registering hundreds of accounts at a time.
Free aol email works, by the way, if you need some way to register.

I agree. Figured I'd be able to do this... found I cannot.
Looking at the forum to learn more about suppresses... I DO NOT want all the notifications routed through my work email.... lame.

Re: No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
Too bad that you can't charge spammers. It'd be a lucrative revenue stream. Just add a Junk SubForum like the "Site Announcements/General."
All new member posts get routed there for 30 days to verify if they're legit. Only 5 verifies from longstanding members would get them through the firewall. And even then a Moderator would have final sign-off.
Just a thought. Maybe it would increase Foreign traffic. We need all the new ideas that others have to offer. Sometimes we have to comb through a pile of refuse before panning that single flake of gold.

Re: No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
In PHBB you can set it so that the first X number of posts from a use require moderator approval before they show up to normal users. It stops users from seeing any spam but requires the mods to go through all new posts.whiterussian1974 wrote:Too bad that you can't charge spammers. It'd be a lucrative revenue stream.

Remember, the mods do their clean up work for free.

I know that I need to kill pages of spam from here every few days. It is nasty.
There are plenty of places to get a free email account and if you have internet, you can get email from them.

Re: No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
Apparently we gave this clown what he wanted, the ability to register gmail, etc?
I assume that is why the board is inundated with garbage posts?
I have now inadvertently purchased several ray-ban sunglasses due to my stray-clicking.

Re: No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
It is only for the users first X posts and it makes the spam easy to find since it will all be in the mod queue, assuming someone past X post does not suddenly start spamming.bakerjw wrote:Remember, the mods do their clean up work for free.

Forum is becoming unreadable. On a positive note I know more about ray-ban sunglasses than ever before.

Re: No gmail or yahoo email for registration.
Robert made some changes. Hopefully the spam bots will be held at bay once again.

Can we turn off the gmail and yahoo email registrations?
