That, and the requirement to provide a message during the subscription
process. I'm the person who generally handles subscription requests and
will pretty much approve anyone who submits some sort of gaming or
Vassal related note, since that means they at least have read enough
about
the group to know what it is. "Hello." doesn't quite work. In marginal
cases I check their settings to see if they are set to receive mail from
the group. I will also set some users to be moderated if I can't quite
figure this out.
In any case, this guy submitted something gaming related:
greeting from addict gamer from malaysia. wanna challenge me.
regards
jaguh kampung aka village champion
which was somewhat marginal, but he was set up to receive Email, so....
In any case, the address is banned now.
Statistics: We have 1439 group members right now.
There are about 10-15 new member requests per week.
