Hi,

This is a Special Notice from Henk Langeveld, owner/moderator of the HeroQuest-Rules group.

This must be the first 'Special Notice' to this group in years. The reason for this is that as of late, there appear to
be weeks when I'm seeing more new
subscribers than new messages.

My suspicion is that most of those new
subscribers are actually botnet accounts used to spam the list and/or links/file area. (Or harvest mail addresses)

So what do you guys (and gals) think?

Should we close the list for automated
subscription, and approve new members
manually? Traffic is not that heavy
that people would be missing massive
amounts of updates,...

Cheers,
Henk
