Banned domain names

Post by Darkson »

After influxes (at various times) of spam accounts, we have banned the Chinese (.cn), Russian (.ru) and Polish (.pl) domain names from siggning up.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly, and know it will/may inconvience future formum members, but after deleting 50+ spammers using Polish addresses in 2 days, it shows the size of the problem.

If you already use one of these domains, you are NOT effected - it only efects new sign-ups. If you know anyone using these domains trying to sign-up, please get them to email webmaster[at]talkfantasyfootball.org, and get them to explain in the email that they want to sign up.

Hopefully this will cut down the amount of spam accounts we admins have to delete daily.


Now if only Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo would tighten up their spam checking... :roll:
