[VFB] Re: List Moderator

2009-11-23 Thread Jimmy D. Moore
Dan, I moderate for Fly Fishing World with 558 members.  I approve about 
4-5 new members a week.  It really isn't that big a deal. I'm the only 
moderator for the list.  Chris Cook is list owner and lives in the UK. 
He approves during the hours we're asleep here in the US and I approve 
during the hours he's asleep in UK, but the way it works out, I approve 
most of them.  The biggest problem I have is people who join and then 
try to promote a product.  I've booted one guy 6 times.  He'll come back 
with a new email addy and name, but I usually catch him after the first 
post or two.  Also, list members keep me informed in case I miss a 
commercializer.

Yup, I agree Jimmy;

Not too hard. On most of my lists prospective members need to tell why they 
want to join...not so much for learning something about the wannabe member, but 
to help make sure it isn't a spambot. Also, the first message or three they 
post are moderated. That way if someone just joins to start spamming, it is 
stopped in the bud.

Hae a great day today, and a better one tomorrow,

If at first you don't succeed, maybe you shouldn't try sky diving!
