Do any of you ban entire domain names from being posted on your forum and/or entire email domains (or TLDs) from registering on your forum?
Do you think this is a good way to mitigate spam and abuse by banning domains and email domains/TLDs on a forum?
I've banned many of the new gTLDs from a local cycling forum because I know most local cyclists are either using a gmail, hotmail, or yahoo account. No one is using a .xyz email account around here. Once I banned the newer gTLDs, my spam registrations went from about 100 a week to 2 a week.
