Disallowed Email Domains for Registration - Raion - 04-17-2020
Hello folks,
Due to an influx of spam registrations, I've had to make the difficult decision to embargo three email providers that are facilitating the **most** of the spam registrations, they are the following:
yandex.ru
mail.ru
mail.com
Users currently using these email addresses can continue to do so; but further signups until further notice will not be allowed. We're getting on average 30-40 spam signups a day, and Cleantalk is only catching 25-35 on average, requiring me to clean the rest.
I will not add captchas because that is a Google product and I don't use Google products for my sites.
We apologize for the inconvenience

Drives me up the damn wall having to give their stupid AIs free training every time I want to use J. Random Website (unless, of course, I happen to be on a computer where the default browser is Chrome, which by sheer coincidence just gets a pat on the back and an "in you go!")

More or less I don't like the idea that Google has so much control over the industry already and as a person who already hates Google products it's pretty dumb for people to rank-and-file line up to take their products like cake.
I wish that people would abandon Gmail for protonmail or other providers. Honestly I'm just getting sick of this whole Google having too much power thing because they're using it to silence websites.

There are only a few organizations whose products I flatly refuse to use, google is one of them.
