I would like to block some email domains to register to my forum (example @gmail.com). I know I could ban them, but that will also ban some "inocent" users.
Is there a way to do this? in smf there was a mod if I remember well
And it was this: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1493
Solved, this can be done with ban system, instead of a total ban I can use a partial ban. I forgot about this ;)

maybe the check email during registration could be a little improved: instead of letting the user to insert all fields for registration and the then showing a message error, could be that once filled the email and if the domain is blocked for registration to show a message like "This domain is blocked, choose another email address...". what do you think about it?
I don't know if you can ban multiple domains at once though, via that system.
As regards the error message... Yeah, the mod was doing it.
Good idea. Such as showing a green "your address seems to be okay with us, go on with the registration!" give the user a red "oh no, you are not allowed here with this address. Go get another one for free and try again!" :)
I have actually have seen such message with a forum or two. While registration, they say, they do not approve emails on the particular domain.
Interesting idea. Actually, as usual, the whole banning would benefit from some improvements, few ideas are floating in my head, though it takes time. lol
