Hey guys. Got a moderator issue I wanted to give you a heads up about.

Alrighty, as you are well aware, we have people in this world with
nothing better to do than to sign up for random yahoo groups and then
post SPAM. (I know, I don't understand it either).

Anyhoo. Lately, I've just been checking the board as often as I can
and then deleting the SPAM posts and banning the SPAMMER. (I usually
can tell when SPAM will be posted because whenever a new member signs
up, I get sent an e-mail notifying me.) The past three new members
have been SPAM.

Now, even though the SPAM gets deleted, I still get the offending
SPAM posts in my daily digests from the board. So I'm guessing you
folks do too?

So, what I've done is, I've changed the group from an unmoderated
group to a moderated one. This means that, I must approve any message
before it gets sent to the group.

Now, believe me, I'm not going to censor your messages or anything
like that. The ONLY reason why I'm doing this is to eliminate the
blatant spam that gets posted...because I know it has got to annoy
you guys.

I'm online all the time because of my job so any messages posted to
the board should get approved rather quickly. We don't get much
activity at all here so, I don't see it really being a problem
either.

Hope that is ok with you guys. If you would rather I keep it at
unmoderated and just delete any SPAM after the fact, I'll be more
than happy to go back and change it. Feel free to let me know.
