What constitutes a 'real' Email site?

Re: What constitutes a 'real' Email site?

While it can be viewed as a hassle to the person who has to provided various amounts of information ~ it is done by the Mods and/or owner{s} to provide a "firewall" against unwanted trouble.

There are many people out there that have nothing better to do than troll all kinds of forums. I could bore you the number of trolls I've seen but won't.

Often times it's hard to apprieciate all the Mods and/or owner{s} do to maintain a message board until you {generally speaking} are in that role.

So stupid...

Just searched for a free POP3 account, submitted it and I'm in the FDF.
Whoopee..., what's the point of their BS. Not a question, just being grumpy about it.

Thanx for the help guys!

Been trying to join the www.fenderforum.com/fender.html but when submitting any of my free accounts, yahoo, gmail, etc., they say it's not legit and that I need to submit a REAL Email address, that free sites aren't 'real'.
You may wish to try it yourself to see what I mean.

I registered for a forum that didn't allow people to register using a free e-mail address. I had a RoadRunner e-mail address as part of the internet service I pay for, so I'm assuming they want a paid e-mail account to verify your account?

The reason given by the Admin was that it helped cut down the number of trolls and troublemakers re-registering with new accounts after being banned.

Probably needs to be a POP3 email account.
