i have alot of spamming accounts on my site. I wish to stop that. Best way i see is to stop allowing free email accounts...like the gmail...yahoo...msn and such...anybody got anything to add.

i do not know where this topic would go so i appologize for maybe putting this in the wrong spot.

Do a search on threads with "spam" in the title. This whole issue has been discussed many times with several suggestions on how to deal with it.

I get a lot of legitimate members through gmail and yahoo. I'd avoid cutting them off, if I were you.

NoSpam! stopped all my spam problems.
