Just looking around I see that several users are having problems with spam registrations using temporary email addresses. Yes !! there is an option to disallow these emails, but wouldnt it make more sense to have an option in your admin control panel to "allow" specific email addresses to register rather than banning specific addresses. There are thousand's of temp email addresses out there that spam bots etc. can use. It would be much easier to choose a list you want to allow to register than ban a list of unwanted emails.

Whats your thoughts ?

People are just going to abuse the services you "allow" anyway.

Of course, but its much easier for a human spammer to get a temporary email that it is by having to physically sign up to yahoo,gmail,msn etc.... I know it wont rule out spammers completely, but it will deter them more effectively as it wont be as simple as entering a web address into their address bar and bang, they have an instant email to register on a forum.
