To protect our community from spam, abuse, and fraudulent registrations, the New Team of Weapons and Tactics restricts account registration and recovery to a list of verified, legitimate email service providers. This helps us maintain a high level of trust and security for all members, reduce abuse, and ensure more reliable communication.
We only allow registrations from major email services that are known for maintaining strict anti-abuse policies, secure infrastructure, and long-term reputation.
Please note that this new policy was enacted in May 2025 and does not apply to or affect past registrations.
Registrations are currently allowed only from the following trusted domains:
To uphold the security and integrity of our community, we limit account registrations to email providers that demonstrate strong privacy practices, reliable uptime, and responsible abuse handling. This approach helps us minimize spam, reduce fraud, and prevent automated bot registrations.
As part of this policy, certain legacy or less secure email services are not permitted. These include, but are not limited to:
Please note that we emphasize that this list is not meant to be a reflection of any platform’s original intent, but rather our responsibility to protect our users from bad actors who commonly exploit these services.
If you utilize a custom or privately hosted email domain not included on our approved list, you may technically request an exception by submitting a custom email domain support request. You will be required to provide your exact domain and a strict technical justification for inclusion. Please note that all requests are subjected to rigorous security vetting, and approval is never guaranteed.
While we respect online privacy, decades of industry experience demonstrate that successfully maintaining private email infrastructure is a highly complex technical feat. It requires constant administration, strict security compliance, and proactive deliverability management. We strongly discourage the use of custom or self-hosted domains for platform registration unless you possess advanced systems administration expertise and are willing to accept the significant risks involved.
Should you choose to proceed with a custom domain, you must explicitly accept the following operational hazards:
To guarantee uninterrupted access to your account and maintain modern security standards, we highly recommend using one of the vetted, high-availability providers from our main approved list above. To maintain platform security, approved custom domains are kept confidential and are not publicly displayed.

Why Certain Email Domains Are Not Accepted
To uphold the security and integrity of our community, we limit account registrations to email providers that demonstrate strong privacy practices, reliable uptime, and responsible abuse handling. This approach helps us minimize spam, reduce fraud, and prevent automated bot registrations.
As part of this policy, certain legacy or less secure email services are not permitted. These include, but are not limited to:
- mail.ru – Frequently flagged for poor spam control and privacy concerns
- inbox.ru – Associated with high abuse rates in public abuse databases
- yopmail.com – A disposable email service commonly used for spam
- protonmail.ch (free tier) – Often exploited for anonymous abuse, despite its strong privacy mission
Please note that we emphasize that this list is not meant to be a reflection of any platform’s original intent, but rather our responsibility to protect our users from bad actors who commonly exploit these services.
Using a Custom Email Service or Domain? (Highly Discouraged)
If you utilize a custom or privately hosted email domain not included on our approved list, you may technically request an exception by submitting a custom email domain support request. You will be required to provide your exact domain and a strict technical justification for inclusion. Please note that all requests are subjected to rigorous security vetting, and approval is never guaranteed.
While we respect online privacy, decades of industry experience demonstrate that successfully maintaining private email infrastructure is a highly complex technical feat. It requires constant administration, strict security compliance, and proactive deliverability management. We strongly discourage the use of custom or self-hosted domains for platform registration unless you possess advanced systems administration expertise and are willing to accept the significant risks involved.
Should you choose to proceed with a custom domain, you must explicitly accept the following operational hazards:
- Permanent Account Disruption: If your private server experiences downtime, routing misconfigurations, or data loss, you will fail to receive critical security alerts and system emails. This can result in the permanent loss of your account, as we cannot bypass security protocols for unverified email addresses.
- Automated Revocation & De-listing: Our platform performs regular, automated health checks on all registered email domains. If your approved custom domain triggers recurring deliverability failures or becomes unresponsive, support for the domain will be immediately and automatically terminated to protect our platform's security.
- Domain Lifecycle & Hijacking Risks: Custom domains require continuous renewal. If your domain registration lapses or expires, it can easily be acquired by a malicious third party. To prevent severe account hijacking vulnerabilities where a new domain owner attempts to seize your community identity, inactive or expired domains are aggressively pruned from our system.
To guarantee uninterrupted access to your account and maintain modern security standards, we highly recommend using one of the vetted, high-availability providers from our main approved list above. To maintain platform security, approved custom domains are kept confidential and are not publicly displayed.
