MQSeries.net :: View topic - New Forums Registrations, Generic email Domain Restrictions

Now it can be told ...

Following a fairly extensive multi-week monitoring of Bots related attempted registrations and/or old threads responses to get around our spam prevention measures, we find ourselves forced to restrict most attempts at new member registrations to those using emails from more secure doamins such as their genuine work and company domains.

New registers from the most common generic domains such as gmail, yahoo, hotmail and a few other originating from spam prone country locations will no longer be supported. As a result the declining site traffic has further been impacted in the recent past few weeks while our monitoring and analysis were on going.

There are still a good many forums members whose credentials are several years old, some nearly dating back a decade or two. I do see their postings and responses to new and old threads. All previously registered forums member IDs using such generic emails will continue to function as before. Prompt assistance needed to help members who have forgotten their IDs and/or passwords will be provided, they would need to send an email request to us, assistance will be provided.

Thank You
