Due to the high number of spammer registrations the following policies are now in effect.
Disposable emails are prohibited. This would include Gmail, Yahoo and MSmail/Hotmail. Any email from a domain listed as high risk by IP Quality Score will be banned without notification. Spammers never use their personal email addresses and instead create disposable addresses that are sure to get banned. The only way to combat this is disallow any kind of disposable email service.
If a domain for an email address is identified as DISPOSABLE by IPQS and considered high risk the account will be deleted and the domain banned even.
Here is an example:
https://www.ipqualityscore.com/domain-r ... dyssey.com
Accounts are Admin activated and if an account uses a disposable email address it will be removed. Approved accounts with 0 posts after 24 hours will be considered abandoned and expire.
This is now clearly stated on the terms of use page during registration.
Currently registrations are allowed to validate their accounts via email authentication. If the spam issue continues to present problems or continues to worsen account activation will require admin approval.
This is being done to prevent members in good standing from having to sift through post after post for porn sites, pages of foreign gibberish or unrelated useless tripe that would take minutes away we'll never get back.
