New Members on Hotmail

Folks,
This is particularly addressed to new members who are applying for access to the Forum.
Hotmail accounts are often used by Trolls who constantly rejoin in order to ruin the Forums for everybody. For this reason we do not usually allow new members to join using Hotmail email accounts. For those who apply using Hotmail I carry out additional screening.
Currently I have a backlog of applications for approval because the prospective members have not answered my email to them - some of them since the 14th - and this seems to indicate that the email accounts are set up for the purpose and not used thereafter.
Can I give an absolute assurance that email addresses of Forum members remain confidential - there is no need to set up a convenience address in order to join here.
Could I ask the current applicants to answer my mail and to reconsider their applications using Hotmail.
Thank you.

Yes Captain - but I don't want to turn away genuine owners who we can helpo simply because they have a Hotmail account - it would mean that the Trolls have won. 
I hope that some of the new members admitted this evening were those I had to refuse - but those I have rejected can always reapply with a 'proper' mail addy.
