Hey EtherPad Open Source Discussion moderator,

We're getting too much recruiting spam in this group.

Could you go into the group's control panel and set "Messages from new
members are moderated", and then delete new members who are spammers, so
the spam doesn't go out to all 400+ of us?

Thanks,

Peter Kaminski

Maybe one of us could be become a moderator?
I don't have a life maybe I could become one?
I have a job but no girlfriend.

Maybe we should put in a request for some mail-order bride spam.

Hey John,

We're still get the recruitment spammer here on Etherpad Discuss.
Between annoyance and the time it takes me to go set up a new IMAP
filter, it probably costs me 20 minutes of productivity every time this
happens, and I presume similar for the other 470+ members on the list.

Could you go into Group Settings / Access, and set either "People can
request an invitation to join" or "Messages from new members are moderated"?

I would be happy to co-moderate for spammers if the time needed for
moderation is an issue.

Thanks,

There are 4 moderators for this group now.

I think that is enough for now :)

I removed the spam.

Please make it so we don't keep getting spammers, too.

Thanks,

Pete
