no free email preferences?

i just noticed you cant use a yahoo, or hotmail account in your preferences. i always used a yahoo one but just recently tried to register a new yahoo address but its not allowed. is this something new?

i know i dont like using my own personal email address but dont seem to have a say in the matter.

It's fairly new. .Here's the reason:

Fraud is a serious concern for a site like ResellerRatings, which shares techimo's user database. Unethical merchants and disgruntled customers occassionally fake reviews, and create fake accounts. Blocking freemail accounts (that is, email accounts that anyone can obtain in any quanity for free) is one of the many ways that we prevent fraudulent submissions.

Send a message via ICQ to JacobM5727 Send a message via AIM to JacobM5727 Send a message via Yahoo to JacobM5727
i have never gotten any spam or anything like that from techimo/resellerratings.. so if its required i use my "real" email, which i dont even give some friends, i guess its ok
it does seem like a good way to help against scammers ect
