1) What is this thread about?
2) Why is it in the Watchtower?
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.Quote:

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:).

That's the only website/forums that I know of that don't accept free e-mails.
Ok, so your problem is that you aren't allowed to register because you use an MSN email address? Or Yahoo?
That's what he's saying.
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.
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:
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.
Not a Watchtower topic.
