Anybody have a legit @outlook address?
Considering just banning the whole outlook.com domain, because all that seems to live there are spam bots.
Thoughts?

I still use an old @hotmail.com address from back in, uh, 2006 or so. Don't think this would be affected by a ban on outlook, would it?

Nope, bans are based on the exact text of the domain, not based on who owns the domain. phpBB knows nothing about that stuff.
Looking through the database there is one valid user with an outlook.com address, but AFAIK adding in a ban won't retroactively prevent them from posting. I say, add the ban.

Re: Anybody have a legit @outlook address?
Shouldn't we bring yahoo into that ban as well? Seems like they're the most spambotty presence here ...
That said, my two accounts are yahoo and outlook, so it would kind of scupper me. That may not be a bad thing :)

Re: Anybody have a legit @outlook address?
Fortunately, yahoo.co.uk is considered different than yahoo.com for the purpose of the ban filter anyway. :) (And again, I don't think it'll matter for someone who's already registered.)

Hey!
I can change my email to another one that I have if that makes any difference? Is GMail OK?

Sure, if you don't mind. Better safe than sorry if I pull this trigger.Vexed Simian wrote:Hey!

I've put a notice on the signup pages to send me email when you sign up, but people don't read that shit so I'll probably just put a big ol' "NO OUTLOOK NO YAHOO" on it instead.

Ok @hotmail.com and @outlook.com can't sign up any more (nor, apparently, access any part of the board)
I have excluded Vexed Simian's email address from the ban.

I think I created by account with a yahoo address. I'll see about switching that one.

Re: Anybody have a legit @outlook address?
There ARE some spambot accounts that have joined with gmail, but I figure that'd just shut everybody down.
And there are all these weird ".bid" domains they keep signing up with.
Fuck those guys.
