He said the game was free. Which usually means they aren't paying money.

My experience is that people who do give away their address are less likely
to be griefers trying to wreck other people's game, or rather, people who
supply bogus addresses are likely to be the kind of people who won't be the
kind of players you might want.

But personally, I wouldn't filter those out in a webform. That just
encourages them to pick a random guy from the phonebook.

My news address gets prefiltered by despammed.com, then runs through spam
assassin and later through active spam killer. And I'm 99% spam-free.

One of the biggest enterprise opportunities in the future is going to be
commercial spamfiltering. I figure a lot of people would probably pay money
for it.
