Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Is it possible to vet new member's first emails to try to stop some of the spam that is getting through? stuart hamilton kiotis_paris Wed, 19 Jul 2006 2:00 PM Botanical Aromatics FrenchBotanicals.com FrenchBotanicals.com Hi!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 If there's a consensus on this then we can change the group options to require that all new members be OK'd by the group owner. The main disadvantage of this is that it might put new members off from joining. Usually I just delete any spam and ban the member in question, but I let the Yves Rocher one go as their products are vegan/cruelty free, which makes it borderline as to whether it's actually spam or not. People - let me know - is the amount of spam that we're getting too high, and if so shall I change the group options to require that all new members be vetted ?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hi, I'm Mary and I'm sorry if my email offended anyone. It wasnt meant to. Very few people know that they can get 100% botanical products like this and i'm just trying to let people know. I'll take a look at the rules for posting before i post again. Once again I'm sorry.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 This group doesn't seem to have a problem with spam. But instead of having to approve new members, maybe new members could be on moderation so they can't just join and spam? I dunno, I don't think it's a big deal since there isn't usually much spam. , peter VV <swpgh01 wrote: > > I think its only the second spam Ive seen in ages? > > The Valley Vegan.......... > > Paul Russell <prussell wrote: > If there's a consensus on this then we can change the group options > to require that all new members be OK'd by the group owner.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hi Mary - Personally I'm OK with a small amount of commercial stuff on this list, provided that it is appropriate, i.e. vegan products only. However if there are objections from the members then we may have to consider limiting it. Currently there is nothing in our " rules and guidelines " to discourage advertising, so you haven't really done anything wrong. I'll give it a couple of days to see what people think about the subject and then we can decide whether anything needs to be changed.
