Сферический ВК в вакуумеI want an opinion. If you have a rule to not allow signups with some email domain, would you expect it to also apply to signup requests, when your server is in manual-approval mode?

@grishka I can see a use for either. Block that domain from bothering me. Mark that domain as suspicious so I take more time with this signup request. And a third option: make signups open, except for the domain. The second and third option require different UI and are technically specialized lists for different purposes than simple blocking. So I would answer with the first option.

Yes, because such rules should only exist for domains with very bad reputation, like mailinator.com, anyway. |

Not "expect" directly.. Ideally I would want to have a) clear knowledge of the behavior, b) be able to inform myself about its effect (e.g. see log or alerts), and c) change a setting that allows me to override the rule in manual-approval mode.
Question is what should be default behavior. Say I launch a server exclusively for journalists, set a rule to block yahoo.com ('not trusted') and no manual approval. The time I find a 100 blocked journalists, is when I already lost them.
