Problems registering

Post by abyrvalg »

Tried to register today using my main email accounts at my .ru domains, and guess what? I was NOT ALLOWED - because the board was configured to disallow users with such emails. WTF?

The main reason may be mail.ru is one of the biggest spambot domains in use.

Unfortunately, that is true. So many spambots use the mail.ru server, that we had to ban it to stop the board from being overrun.

As you have already noticed, you can easily use any of the free US based e-mail services such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail or Hotmail in order to register instead.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
