I'm not going to join. It's spam. I did join and then left. Only the 'moderator' can post. There were six messages, and more were to come, clearly headed toward selling some aloe/sea vegetable product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see from their home page that " Only the moderator may post " . So it's an announcement list and not a discussion list. It looks like some kind of commercial thing selling supplements most likely. regards, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 At http://add./cct/feedback.php you can complain to about them, as it is not ok to send invitations around like that, to people you don't know and didn't ask for it.

Hi, you can stop group moderators from sending you invitations to join their groups. Go to email preferences myprefs This gives a list of the email address/addresses that has registered for you. The last column on that page is titled options and below it there is a link that says edit. Clicking that link will bring you to the next page where the first option listed is Group Invitations. Uncheck the boxes there to disallow moderators from adding you to their lists or inviting you to join. regards, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yeah, saw that, but I do want to be invited to groups. Just only when it makes sense. Like when I ask something OT in one group and someone suggests another group that would be more helpful with answering that question.
