May I ask why? Many people, when they first come across a board that they don't really know about, would be uncomfortable using their primary email address. I mean, the board has a porn component, and they might think that they'll start getting even more porn spam. So, they use a free Yahoo mail account. Perhaps later, they switch over.
On the other hand, if free email addresses are being abused, perhaps this is a reasonable approach; I'm not a moderator, so I haven't seen the problems.
