Alternative to rms to eliminate spam
I have checked and there is a Yahoo group "digital photography". I
joined the group but have not recieved any messages yet- do not know how active it is. I will report after a few days. I belong to a number of Yahoo groups, and moderate two. There is occasional spam that slips through. Most groups are set up with messages themselves NOT moderated, but require membership to join the group and many moderate membership. Sure, a "new member" occasionally slips through and posts spam, but that member is then kicked out. Someone could indeed keep rejoining under new names, but this has not been a problem so far. Yahoo groups allow you the choice of receiving posts via email, or reading them from the group web site. For really active groups there is a digest version where the messages are bundled 25 at a time and sent out. However, for a group with as many posts as rpd, even that may be impractical, and web reading may be the best solution. I have selected the digest option for the digital photography group, and will let this group know how that works out. |

Yes, yahoo-groups are ok. Except for the Advertising they attach to every message posted. But as long as I'm not sure that they wont be taken over by Microsoft soon I won't attach to them more than I'm already. When Microsoft takes Yahoo, I'll be off of flickr soon. And google won't be the alternative, I think. bye kruemi -- Dimage A2, Agfa isolette http://flickr.com/photos/kruemi http://profile.imageshack.us/user/kruemi/images |
