Spammers, trolls, and ban evaders often use temporary email addresses. PieFed now checks a list of known temporary email providers and displays a warning icon next to registrations that use such services.

If registration mode is set to “Open” (no approval needed) then the site admin(s) receive a notification instead.

A throwaway email address isn’t always a bad thing but it’s one factor that admins might want to take into account.

    Yeah. Just off to the right of the screenshot is the approve button which didn’t seem relevant at the time.
