Default Non-valid e-mail address
Due to repeated attempts at using forum e-mail addresses for spamming we have to ban any users who do not have a valid e-mail address either on Registration or because of change of user e-mail address later.

Please make sure that your e-mail address is correctly entered into your UserCP details.

Anyone who has been banned because of non valid e-mail address errors can contact us using the Contact Us form quoting a correctly working e-mail address and we will then lift the ban as soon as we have ascertained the validity.

Sorry if this causes current members grief but it is important that the security of the forum is not abused by spammers.

In addition we are rejecting Registrations from e-mail addresses ending with @cashette.com @web.de @gawab.com @hotpop.com , all of which are frequently used by forum spammers.

Again we are sorry if some of these prevent bona fide users Registering with this forum. Please use an alternative e-mail address for your Registration.

If it helps anyone wanting a email address, I still have loads of gmail invites.

Hi Nick,

I ask because I tried to get gmail.com for slatedeck but could only get googlemail.com

Thanks

This problem is escalating.

As a result we have extended the list of addresses commonly associated with SPAM and are actively banning members whose applications do not appear to be bona fide.

If you have been banned in error please contact us using the Contact Us form link at the bottom of this page.

Apologies to anyone affected by our blocking procedures but we are in danger of being invaded by Spammers if we do not aggressively combat this menace to our Bulletin Board Security.
