My name is Frederic and I am an avid trekker from Germany. But I've got problems with the Flare forums. Why?
In Germany, our Internet providers simply don't give us emails. So what we have to use is freemail. For some odd reason which I cannot comprehend at all and I find highly illogical, you do not accept people with freemail.
Why?
You see, I actually purchased a domain to be able to register here. This domain runs out in a week, and unless you allow freemail till then I really cannot use the Scifi Flare forums.
I think that's a bit unfair, and I can see simply no reason at all for why to ban freemail accounts.
In other words, you owe me €5 because of your freemail fascism.
Please help me ASAP.
Kind regards,
Frederic, alias Captain Picard.

There. Problem solved, with no "freemail fascism".

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

The freemail ban comes from the days when we were actually a more vibrant community, and were subject to trolls. Free email addresses simply permit people to register over and over.
Also, please read the user agreement. Again. Let me make it a bit more obvious, just in case what was already pointed out didn't make sense.

Emphasis added.

I won't ban you for that, but I hope you enjoy the new topic title.
