Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Mark, I don't like them either but I don't know if you can really scan them to that point. Yes they are annoying but when I see them I just delete........Flora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Mark, It's way too much for you to try and screen everyone. On AOL there is a " report spam " button. I assumed that was reporting spammers to AOL...is that not right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Mark, You are doing a fab job removing the spam. I do have a feeling that Yahoo sells the list of groups and group members to the spammers. Keep up the good work.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Mark, You are a saint to even offer to screen new applications. That would be such an enormous undertaking. After just a post or two, the offenders will be clearly recognized and you can do whatever it is that you do to unsubscribe them. Surely, other members can appreciate your concern and good intentions, but should also recognize that this kind of thing happens to on-line groups. It's unwanted, but should not be overly upsetting. " DELETE " is easy to do.
