| I don't see the point to doing this. Many people these days use email providers such as yahoo, hotmail, and gmail for their main email account. I think you would lose many potential members if you did this.

| Well, I use a "free email" and if people banned free email I would never be on a message board. I would never ban because of an email account they use, unless they are "troublemakers!" | ||||

| I personally always use my email i got with my hosting now. So i will never face this problem, however i probably wouldn't block free emails.

| I never ban/block them, unless there is a constant problem with them. There are a lot of people that will not give out their "main" e-mail addresses when joining forums, so they use a free e-mail. This is why I will not ban/block them. | ||||

I register at many forums with that, only few have my actual main address.
