911JobForums

Ok, I have been reading 911Jobforums website for about 2 months. Everytime I try and sign up it says the email address I provide has been blocked. Does anyone have a clue as to why this would be?? I have never posted anything bad on any sites and I have only been reading the sites for about 2 months. Has anyone else experienced this? I would like to contribute to 911jobforums too. Any advice?

Why don't you send the webmaster an email ? Without signing up.

What email provider are you using to register? An administrator of a board can block certain email providers if they so wish. This is typically done to prevent every tom, hick, and barry from joining a board and TROLLING, etc with better anonymity. Not that trolls don't get through anyway. Many forum admins set up their boards to block free emails that aren't assigned to a person by a job, school, isp, etc.

That's my guess. You say you weren't banned so that's probably the case. Follow mcsap's advice if you're not using a restricted email.

What does this have to do with REALPOLICE.NET?

Off topic, but say Fed, did you ever get my PM?

911JOBS is like going to a weird place to me. I feel like I am cheating on all of you by being over there. There is no cool vibe or rep points, its so sterile.

They dont let you use yahoo or msn type addresses I THINK.

No....the way they have things set up over there, you have to have a real email address (ie not a hotmail, gmail, or yahoo address) to be able to sign up and post there.....

It should be the same for here as well....but not my rules.....

They ban "free" email addresses to prevent spammers and trollers. If you have a work email address, try using that.

I had the same problem too. I could not sign up using my ISP or my work email. Must be a glitch in their system. I also emailed the webmaster and never got a reply. No big deal though, RP takes enough time out of my day.

Thanks for your feedback! And oh yeah, Sbrad, the reason I posted it here is because that forum was recommended as another source of info by people on here when I first joined ove here, so I didn't figure people would have a problem providing help. Any more questions? Thanks.

I'm just sayin...

Recruiting Members to Other Forums

Trying to get other members to join other forums is prohibited, IF it's a police related website. Sending pm's, emails, or in any way, shape or form to do this are grounds for banning.

What the ???? I was in no way "recruiting" people to join another message board. Wow. I was simply asking if anyone else had experienced the same thing because it would not let me register. I could care less where people go to find info; why would I have any vested interest in caring about forums people go to???? Too funny.

But it would prevent a lot of high school kids or people that work with companies that dont provide e-mail addresses from registering. When I signed up, I used a hotmail account. Like most people, I got a few different e-mail accounts. The one set up by my school is only given to friends or family. Cuts down on the spam. Anyways, trolls are something any public forum just has to deal with.
