An interesting note for Gmail users, the number of periods is irrelevant.
myusername@gmail.com it the same as
my.user.name@gmail.com or
m.y.u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com.

It's your choice but you can set the number of allowed periods here:

PHP Code:

$max_chars = array("." => 1, "," => 0,  ";" => 0, ":" => 0); 


Change that =>1 to =>2 or =>3 or whatever. Actually, on reflection, I went back and changed it to 2 on my forums.

But Boofo is correct: if you have more than 1 or 2 you're probably up to no good anyway.

Added: This works fine on a vBulletin 3.87 forum as well as 4.x.
