Yes. We moderate a crap ton of spam on this list that subscribers never see.

Does this list have non-member moderation enabled? Having that on helps block most of the spam bots that troll google groups.

It's not that *this* list is a target. It's that *every* list is a target. The cost to send spam is practically zero, so it would take more time and energy to decide what lists *not* to spam. The sad thing is that it works and is obviously profitable, otherwise it would have stopped long ago. -Chad On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 10:47 PM, Scott Haneda wrote: > > I do not really understand their motivation, 99% of the groups out there are > not going to be susceptible to spam.

I do not really understand their motivation, 99% of the groups out there are not going to be susceptible to spam. Most groups are tech, or at least, highly niche, and the people on it are going to know it is spam. Most groups are filtered into a folder, there are just so many red flags. Spammers are a strange group. How come this list is such a target? I am on some other google groups, larger than this by a fair degree, and this does not happen. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ * On Oct 19, 2009, at 6:37 PM, Jeffrey Greenberg wrote: This looks just great... can't wait to try itj On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 2:01 PM, Peter Denton wrote: I would say, considering I can only recall a few spam posts getting through, you guys [sic] do a great job.

Why yes we can, and we do... loads of it. The problem is that these spammers are spoofing the "from" address of list owners who usually get automatically posted and skip the moderation step. This is a flaw of the way Google Groups handles incoming posts, and not of the group admins. -Chad On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 4:28 PM, Dave Briccetti wrote: > > Google group admins can actually DELETE spam, too, which would be > nice. >

exactly, and deleting from the group won't affect those of us that read it via email. once it's deleted it'll still be in our inboxes. it's not that big a deal. just delete the message.

you probably wouldn't believe how much spam we delete before it actually hits the list... 2009/10/19 Dave Briccetti > > Google group admins can actually DELETE spam, too, which would be > nice. >

Google group admins can actually DELETE spam, too, which would be nice.

I have asked Alex to modify his settings to Moderated, which should cut back on his spoofed spam. -Chad On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 4:04 PM, Peter Denton wrote: > now with only 48 megs of adware! > > On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 12:59 PM, Dewald Pretorius wrote: >> >> Foxtrot Oscar. >> >> On Oct 19, 2:01 pm, Nero 9 wrote: >> > Nero 9 is the next generation of the worldâ%u20AC%u2122s most trusted >> > integrated digital media and home entertainment software suite.
