Email banned?

Post by indiglopulse »

Hi,
I tried registering on this site, but it said my email was banned so I had to use a different address. I found this odd considering I've never tried registering or posting here before, so I'm rather curious as to how/why it got banned. If someone could PM me or add me on AIM/MSN to explain this then I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
pulse

free email services are banned from the forums due to abuse.

use your real isp email address instead.

nice but... my email address is not from a free-access internet provider (or at least not at all... you can have a free internet connection (56K) but it's mainly a "commercial" DSL provider now... it's one of the biggest here in europe)

the email I was trying to use was my real isp email address. there're other people with the same problem... if you may fix it, it would be great.

thx

What is the domain on the email address?

tiscali has a free email service which is widely used by spammers, criminals, and abusers: http://mail.tiscali.it/

until tiscali removes the free email service, tiscali.it will remain banned. sorry.
