Banned Email Addresses

[NikPreviousAcct]

A recent acquaintance of mine just registered a few minutes ago, but there's no warning or anything about what email addresses are acceptable and what are not. If domains are banned, there should be a warning about it on the registration page. People getting messages about being forbidden to log in just after they join? That's kinda ass backwards -or are the mods just weeding them out early? Newcombers probably have no clue about what domains and ISPs are disallowed. Can we get a fix for that?

He registered the name "six24" with a hotmail address, not having any way to know that some domains are banned here. Can we get his account email address changed to s2spcarr@vcuREMOVE.edu?

Or should he send an email to the mods with user/pass and this school address to update his account with? Which will get this fixed faster?

Thanks guys, I made it in [obvioiusly]. But I agree that there should be some kind of warning or reason as to why I [or any other wanna be newbie will] get kicked back to the join page with the warning that I can't post/reply to messages.

The problem is that nobody ever reads that. Not even members with thousands of posts. To say nothing about people who are just signing up.
