[RC] re: new 100 milers Yahoo email group - Cindy Collins - Aaron Turnage

I moderate the list and have been trying to work this out as well.  I hate this junk stuff!  I do go in and permanently ban any of those users, but I doubt those spammers are using the same email more than once anyways.  What I will do is change the Membership Option to Moderated, which means you will have to send an email in order to be added to the Membership list (just like the AERC Members list and other regional orgs).  I've also changed the message status for New Members to moderated, which means your first few messages will be pending until approved for posting.
 
That should clear up these spam issues.  I'm online quite often (except when out riding!) so hopefully there won't be much of a wait to be added to the list.
 
Please let me know if anyone else has any other suggestions.  The above suggested changes have been made and are now in affect.

I was thinking about joining this list as a supporter and lover of 100 milers so I checked it out.? There were some great messages from many of you, BUT there was also a lot of very inappropriate spam in the list.? I'm really not interested in that stuff landing in my computer.? Any thoughts?
