Stop Forum Spam Plugin

I do think this is going to become more problematic, though, with some providers now providing ‘disposable’ addresses; Protonmail does this (one of the toxic domains listed is actually one of their domains), and Gmail sounds to be set to roll out a similar feature. As features go, the intent is to cut down on inbound spam for those e-mail users, but the feature is ripe for abuse, just like mailinator or 10minutemail are.

I’m sure this is very helpful! Unfortunately, the forum I moderate’s moderation team, besides me, said not to use it, so… Seems very nice though. If we ever get to a point where we have a lot of spam, I’ll check this out. Thanks!

Did they explain their reasoning?

Yes, but I think we may be getting off-topic. Their reason was that we don’t get spam, currently, so it’s just a waste of time.
