Gmail addresses banned...

co · 08-24-2006, 06:57 AM

Hello there,

I tried joining a authors forum the other day, but couldn't because my email address ended in gmail.com.

Apparently all gmail accounts are banned because they've been used to spam the forumin the past.

Anyone heard of this before? Surely people cause trouble at forums with hotmail or yahoo accounts...

Any thoughts...

I've only had this problem where Hotmail and Yahoo addresses are also banned.

Same here. I've seen this when all free accounts are prohibited.
