Well, the thing is spammers don't use free domains to spam anymore. They use legit TLDs and not even .info domains. Because they know free domains leg blocked and they don't mind investing few bucks to get through that. These days I do too many checks on .com domains when buying because so often I have noticed and got into trouble because of buying blacklisted .coms and other TLDs. Also, some free domains have a very tough sign-up process so it's near impossible for spammers to use those. A good example if eu.org. Sometimes you have to wait weeks or months before getting one.
But I understand a provider could worry about abuses. We can't really say some stranger might not use it for spam. But there are always options to tackle this. One way is to have a separate package for trusted users (like Post4VPS members). or giving the option to make like 25 quality posts before applying for that package for strangers. That might increase the number of legit signups you get too. Plus it will make the forum more active. There are plenty of good people out there who use these free domains for legit causes. I think it would be beneficial for both sides having a system to get the abord rather than totally cutting them off.
