Question to DTers: 'gmail' users?
Quick survey of regular DTers.. Am toying with blocking registrations with gmail.com addresses as the vast majority (99.5%) are spam type sign-ups.
We have cut down considerably on the 100-125 phony registrations daily by blocking mail.ru, gawab.com and similar International addresses, but gmail.com accounts for a good 50% as well. Those with gmail.com addresses already would not be affected. It would only block attempts at NEW registrants. Just curious who is actually using gmail... Additionally, it has a very bad reputation overall for pegging users for targeted spam, etc. Thoughts?
