Guest guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 One way to do it is to make it a little more difficult to join the group. I've forgotten what it is called, but to be verified, you have to enter the letters and numbers shown in a box. It is used on some of the other news lists I belong to. That will keep a spam bot from getting in as easily. Of course someone live could still get in. But most of these are from bots.

I've not personally had any messages like these but if anyone is being sent this message privately just delete and ignore it. I don't know how to stop spam like this being sent out to members from this group, as it's not generated by this group as far as I can tell. Can anyone else shed any light on this issue?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Bummer... the members will just have to be more cautious as you mentioned before. Don't go to links from someone you don't recognize or that have posted comments about something other than "go here for something free or something amazing". Thanks for the info. And let me say I so appreciate this group. This disease can just make you crazy and depressed. Having a place to talk with others wearing your same shoes is a relief.
