Re: [atloldtime] yahoo group moderator -- spam issue

Thanks for the note.

Ok, I think I've changed it so that new members must be approved by the moderator.

I was looking to see if I could removed the recent additions that created the recent spam.   I didn't see in the moderator section
where I could remove anybody.  Did I miss something?

Dear ATLOLDTIME moderator:
You can protect this email group from the recent spams we've been getting by changing the membership settings to where you have to approve anyone applying for new membership. I'm the moderator of another Yahoo group, and we had the same problem. It's really not been much trouble -- you just get notified when someone wants to join the group. You can usually tell based on their email address if it's a "real" person or some bogus spammer.

In my other Yahoo group, I just login as moderator, then go to "member". There's a "ban" option in there. You just put in the email address you want to ban. ...
