Banned email adresses...

Post by KNC » Sat Sep 26, 2009 1:43 am

Well to register here i had to make like 3 new email adresses before i found an service which isn't generally banned. Why is for example web.de completely banned? Any chance to unban it?

I have a list of email services known to have a plethora of spam bots that will try and attack the forum. I just deleted "web.de" from the list though and we'll see if that decreases security. If it doesn't Ill keep it deleted.

Yea web.de is known for spam bots. On a few forums I'm involved with we have them permanently banned.

So your not using "web.de" anymore? Just let me know because if so I'll re-ban it.
