MUSINGS ON MODERATION (again) Just delete if you are not interested. Wayne, we are pretty spam free.
We have the message "This list supports the WikiEducator project. So we know you are not a Spam Bot, please say something about why you want to join this list and mention by name WikiEducator. Thanks" in the signup statement, but . . . people still don't make this mention. What should we do about this comment (from 5 minutes ago in a joining request): "I'd like to join because I'm interested in ICT teacher training." Address seems plausable. Seems a plausable sort of post. Doesn't mention Wikieducator, we -are- trying to cater for all groups, some people may not even know what a spam bot is, some people may have no idea about WE (etc) so it is a judgement call whether we 'approve' or not. I'm happy to be liberal and have a few approvals that shouldn't be to avoid not approving deserving cases. A few. That's my view at the moment. -Derek On 24 June 2010 21:41, Wayne Mackintosh <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Do not follow the links in a recent post by Eleanore Van Guilder in a > recent post -- this is SPAM that slipped through the groups Spam > prevention mechanisms. > > The post has been deleted from the Website, the account has been > banned from our list and I have reported the Spam to Google groups. > > Cheers > Wayne > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "WikiEducator" group. > To visit wikieducator: http://www.wikieducator.org > To visit the discussion forum: http://groups.google.com/group/wikieducator > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
