Just to clear up the bit about emails, Kitz hasn't implemented ANY bans on certain email addresses.

As I understand things, even if she did implement an email address ban, this would just affect new registrations only. All users who are already signed up, even if they were signed up with a newly 'banned' email address, would still be able to log in as normal.

Are disposable emails banned from registering (just curious)?

Apart from your ISP's original allocated email address, surely all others are classed as disposable?

Gmail. Hotmail, etc.

Just to clarify....

email blocking isnt whats keeping them at bay now, and every valid user should be perfectly fine.

Its now well over 24 hours since I made some changes and although the bot attempts are still continuing - touchwood none have got through.  :fingers:

Obviously I'd be rather stupid if I said in the open forums just what measures Ive implemented, and what Ive allowed and what I havent. 
Suffice to say if you are human and you can read - you will know if youve been blocked through the anti-spam measures.

I'm in Latvia tomorrow/Friday/Saturday - do you want me to smack a few heads or whip 'em into shape?    :whip:

Colin

I asked the whole population of Latvia, and they both said they don't know anything about it.   :P   :lol:
