Do new applicants need a better email address than hotmail, yahoo, or the generic email clients to apply for membership? I know that a bit ago admin didn't allow those email addresses as "viable".
Does FC still require email addresses other than generic?

I don't know the answer to your question but I think it is an important one. Even though I have a "brick and mortar" shop, I wasn't able to get on Flowerchat until I had my professional e-mail. I understood why then and I think even moreso now.
There are just to many people who call themselves "florists" who have no business lurking around here for free advise and then post stupid crap on their blogs etc like they know what they are doing. There are just too many people out there telling consumers they can do..(fill in the blank) cheaper than florists.
If having a professional e-mail keeps some of these people out, I say keep it up!
Look how many people (in the intro threads) that say, I have NO experience but I thought it would be fun....I have no experience but.....

Yup - it's more about making it harder for troublemakers to get fake accounts, but it does help with the professional issue as well.
