Here's what it says:

We do not allow people to sign up using hotmail addresses. There have
been way too many abusers, cheaters and other troublemakers from that
service. In fact, the majority of troublemakers have been hotmail
members.
In addition, hotmail.com is causing us and other third parties much
grief with their unreliability, refusal to follow Internet standards,
and total unresponsiveness to troubleshooting attempts.

Please use another address to sign up.


Sounds true to me, but it still doesn't change the fact people won't
register a new emailaddress just because someone told them BM is a fun
game.

In addition, it doesn't mention Gmail is allowed, so people might
expect that all free emailaddresses are blacklisted.

It's Tom's right to refuse hotmail users, but he should realise how
many players are lost because of it.
