No Phishing

[Heinrich vom Schwarzwald]

Well, it didn't take long for the phishers and scammers to find us.  In the last two weeks, we have won 700,000 pounds in the Shell International Lottery program, 1,000,000 euros in the El Gordo de la Primitiva Lottery, and a very paranoid sounding exec from the Bank of West Africa has promised us our share of $30,000,000 he "found" in a dormant account (just as soon as we send him our bank account number, of course).  I intercepted these because I moderate messages from non-members. 
 
I've just made a few changes to our group settings: 
1.  Non-members may not post (I think everyone who is going to join has joined already) 
2.  New members must be invited or request invitation (Kyle's the only one that didn't respond to the invitations I sent out when I started up the group, but he has an active invitation, so he can still join at any time). 
3.  Everyone who's been around for a few years are now "Managers".  (just don't go changing the welcome jpeg to a "Wombat Crossing" sign or anything...... Benedikt, I'm looking you )

Perhaps it was the Wombats?

If only I had a picture of a wombat crossing sign.  Hmmm, m a n a g e r.  That welcome sign might start changing everyday.
