Have you seen such i****?(sorry for the offensive word)

They don't allow registration from Yahoo,Hotmail or other "free" addresses!!!

[Ser Clegane]

1) What is this thread about?

2) Why is it in the Watchtower?

[edyzmedieval]

Well,

The point of this thread is to remark the "intelligence" of some people. I cannot believe "we do not accept "free" addresses because of spam and other fraudulent activities" .

They want to avoid stunts like BrutalDictatorship tried to pull upon the Org two months ago. It is possible to ban members by their e-mail adres but if they have multiple adresses they can make more accounts and continu spamming/flaming. Few people have more than one non-free email adress though, so the rule you mention will prevent banned spammers/flamers from returning before their ban has been removed.

I'd like to add that I think neither the subject nor the tone of your message are suited to the watchtower.

[Admintestc3]

Test.

What the hell?

When did this happen? I never heard about this!

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Someone came on the Org, associated the mods with nazis. The mods swiftly warned him, he refused to repent and caused a lot of problems by spamming and flaming. The mods banned him. He came back as Horsearcher, and then horsearcher2. The mods kept banning him.

I think that's how it went anyway.

KH V , how could you have mist BD ~D he was really crazy.. constantly spamming the colosseum...

BTW , what exactly were you testing there Admintest?

:balloon2:

I was registered before the no 'free' e-mail address rule back in my Empire Earth days but I forgot my pass ( :embarassed:).

Can anyone explain what this thread is about? And why is it in the Watchtower?

I've been thinking that.

Are you talking about RTWHeaven? Or some other site?

[Taurus]

I assume he is talking about the Heaven Games websites, RTWHeaven etc.

That's the only website/forums that I know of that don't accept free e-mails.

[Craterus]

Ok, so your problem is that you aren't allowed to register because you use an MSN email address? Or Yahoo?

[Taurus]

That's what he's saying.

[Craterus]

Aye. We're clear now.

Well, my best advice is to get over it. I've never thought it was that good a site. Or get yourself a non-free address.

I gotta say though, that's a weird move. A lot of sensible people will have non-free email addresses and it's harsh to tar all with the same brush.

[Taurus]

Before I discovered the .org I was nearly always on RTWHeaven. It was a pretty good site imo but it is nowhere near as active as the likes of the .org :bow:

[AntiochusIII]

Oh, now I get it.

So RTW Heaven doesn't accept free e-mail addresses eh? Weird policy. That would restrict much participation and may explain why that site is much less active than the .org. I wonder how did Khelvan posted EB's previews there back then. Probably he had a non-free address...

Oh well, like it matters anyway. :cool:

Edit: Still, why exactly is this thread in the Watchtower? If the original poster wants to raise questions and listen to opinions (okay, rant :P) about this practice (I presume it's not very widespread) in internet forums the Backroom would be a far better place to post.

[TosaInu]

Not a Watchtower topic.
