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.
