No free email addresses / ** Free email addresses allowed

Free email addresses are not allowed.
Why??
Anyone can create dozens and dozens of free emails addresses, all different, all making it look like someone else.
A "non free" email address on the other hand, can be verified, the person can be confirmed to be who they really say they are.
More and more forums are disallowing the use of free email addresses because:
1. It is great way for spammers to get on a site, spam the sludge out of it, get booted for doing so, then sign right back on again with a new email address and a new name.
2. It's easy to hide behind a free non-traceable email address (you already know this - look at the untraceable spam that you get) - it's not so easy if it's not a free email address.
If you only have a free email account and you send a polite email to myself explaining the situation, I may be able to make an exception for you.
