Or flick the switch in the Options screen to only let list members post -
works for my lists :-)

I'm in. What we COULD do is make membership subject to approval by a
Moderator. I could volunteer for that.

Does anyone want to volunteer to take up the job of moderation? I have
neither the time nor inclination to do it :/ If one or more people don't
mind helping, I'm sure we could work something out.

Volunteers? Don't all shout :)

How would you separate out the genuine people from the fakers? "What do you
want to talk about?" "uh.. well... Army Builder?"

Bear in mind that this group has 704 members; we're needing a large-scale
solution here (I'm sure it was only about 400 last time I looked...).
(Speaking of which, does yahoogroups give any "which is the biggest group"
statistics anywhere?)

Unfortunately, the group is already setup that way. This means that the
spammers are setting themselves up as members of the group before posting. :-(

I am feverishly working on getting V2.2 out the door. If everybody would
prefer, I can stop work on V2.2 and try to sort out this spamming problem
now. Unless there is a resounding chorus for me to do this, please have a
little patience and let me get V2.2 out the door before dealing with this
issue. The obvious things have already been tried, so this probably will
take some work to figure out a good solution. Please remember - there's
only one of me on this end. :-)

Thanks, Rob

It already is. Unfortunately, this doesn't stop people using the cunning
technique of joining, then sending the spam messages :( This was what
happened with this latest outbreak, and at least one previous one.

I've just unsubscribed them and banned them from the list.

Please bear in mind that Rob and I have jobs, families, university courses,
etc., in real life, and we can't eavesdrop on the list all day :(

I also volunteer for garbage control. Basically, I
suggest you just give somebody the power to
unsubscribe anybody that sends out such messages. I
really doubt we can filter out the yo-yos that want to
do this, but a garbage moderator can make sure that
anyone who does it once will not do so again. I think
with these lists that's about the best we're going to
get. If you are worried about a moderator abusing
their power just have them post everytime they remove
someone with the exact reason why. That should
decrease at least on the number of repeating spam
posts.

My two warptokens :)

But the cunning technique of removing spammers still exists and open to the
moderators to use.

I think said person has earned the right to the highly polished boot from
the list :-)
