That said, we'll be changing the HeroWars list's moderation settings
soon to "Unmoderated, moderate new members" -- this means that any new
user's first posts are held in a queue until us gentle moderators can
get around to approving their membership (based on what they post).
I *believe* this would have caught all eight of our list's spammers
before they got off the starting blocks. It should mean no convenience
whatsoever to established list users, and only minor inconvenience to
new members and moderators. We'll let other Gloranthan list owners
know how it works out after we've made the switch.
Cheers, Nick
This same change has been made to hw-rules, FYI.
Please note I've also done the blanket unsubscribe/resubscribe to the
27 bouncing memebers. It seems to be the only reliable way to force
Yahoo to re-test the bounce.
My apologies for any inconvenience either of the above causes you,
unless you're a spammer, for whom I'm utterly pitiless.
