Hey all,

we had a massive Spam surge over couple past days, so we had to tighten the 
GitLab Sign-Up policy,
so we don't waste our time on deleting spam from the issues.

There's now couple of domains that are on denylist for signups:

- hotmail.com <http://hotmail.com/>
- outlook.com <http://outlook.com/>
- gmail.com <http://gmail.com/>

Those are the domains mostly used by 99% of the spam users [1].

If you absolutely need to create an account from these domains, talk to us, we 
can create the account
for you.

Also the same restrictions as before apply - any account created must have 2fa 
or create an issue within
one day or it will be banned and then deleted.  Any bio will be deleted in each 
Victor the GitLab Cleaner[2]
run in the CI in the initial period to avoid a Bio Spam. Unfortunately with 
these rules, the Spammers were
able to keep their accounts by creating Spam Issues, so we had to implement 
additional measures.

I understand this might complicate things for some of you, but a) there were 
only couple of legitimate accounts
with gmail/hotmail/outlook domain in the past, b) it's better if you use your 
real address and real name if you
want our help[3].

1. I have also enabled the qq.com <http://qq.com/> (and any domain hosted by 
their SMTP servers) as their implementation
of DMARC is broken and all email from GitLab bounces.
