Gmail to be banned

[FmGrowit]

I find it less than ironic that the vast majority of spammers are gmail subscribers. Further, I believe gmail (google email) knows full well these spammers exist. Even more unbelievable is google doesn't sponsor these spammers.

If you use a gmail account to access the forum, please find a new email account (they're free almost everywhere)

In 10 days ALL existing and future gmail email accounts will be banned.

Let the name of Google gmail be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument in the world. Let the name of google gmail be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

I'm a Gmail user. I will set up a new account. FastMail is an option. Any comment? Any recommendation?

Gmail is the only email acct I have had for over 8 years. Can we"grandfather" existing members?

 

[LeftyRighty]

DGBAMA.......AOL and Yahoo are free accounts also, easy to set up. But, in time, these also well probably be troublesome.

That line will never leave my head.

Just paint lambs blood over your account and eat bitter herbs on the day FM does it and you'll be passed over.

I was a long time yahoo user. I just dumped them. They have added so much extra content that they take forever to load. I am going to give the cheap ($4.95/year) Fastmail a try. I will no longer use Gmail for FTT and because of the Cloud/privacy issues and considering dumping them also. I resigned from Facebook a while back for the same reasons.

Obviously, this won't affect your personal email account. All you have to do is associate a new email account in your settings.

All gmail.com accounts will be banned.

Amen brother.

gmail is horrible! I have actually considered putting it on my site that we will not read or reply to gmail due to their complete lack of privacy policy. Google is the king of data mining and selling you out to anyone with a $. Yahoo recently changed their privacy policy too. Anyone using it might want to read the fine print. They are now just as bad.

You could try 2 cans and a string.

O Gmail... bad boy.
I was shocked in the morning when I start reading posts. 210 new post. I thought it was new record.

If you change email accounts and get banned, check your spam box for an email confirmation.

You're not going to get banned just by changing your email address.

 

[workhorse_01]

Amen! I'm with you brother. I have the rite to privacy!!!

I just did a search in the members list and more than 25% of our membership are spammers with gmail accounts.

Google is in effect sponsoring this spamming.
