Hi all,

I have two Ning Networks totaling over 6000 members and adding new ones every day. In looking at the forums, I know I am not alone in this request: please help lobby for domain blacklisting on registration of new members!

With a fairly simple tweak, a network creator could create a blacklist to block email addresses from domains that allow temporary email accounts for spammers like 20minutemail.com, newpk.com, and (my favorite) sharklasers.com.

I have to delete new accounts by hand everyday so my networks of primarily minors aren't flooded with drug and porn spam.

I've seen CloudFlare recommended on another post, but since we have members worldwide, banning IP ranges is not an option and, frankly, too complex when there is a simpler solution. Again, every Spammer I get registers with a temporary email domain provider.

Thanks for listening.

Crickets...

I wanted to let you know that we have just released a new tool that allows you to ban IP addresses and block email domains. I know you requested this a long time ago, so you may not be interested in it anymore, but I wanted to let you know that it is now available.

Since this is quite an old discussion, I may simply close it out.
