[BLDG-SIM] the pic of today :)

I agree with both of you that the approval of new members might be doable,
but that the full moderation is not the best route.  Most of these lists
don't get spammed on a regular basis.  And if you fully moderate it you have
the possibility of censorship.

I haven't found the list to be burdened with unnecessary messages, so I
don't think this one incident requires a fully moderated forum.  

I second Abhijeet's suggestion as a prudent and minimal response.  If Jason
feels that even this would be a burden (he is, after all, offering the
listserve as a free, personal service to us all), then I would be okay with
leaving everything as it is until such time as the number of these spam
abuses gets out of hand.  We're not there yet.

Doug.

Abhijeet's suggestion of qualifying the members added to the mailing list
can
avoid the scenario we just experienced.  In addition, I feel that every new
discussion thread should be approved and then open to the list for
responses. I
am not sure of the administrative burden this would mean, but definitely
worthwhile to avoid irresponsible use of the mailing list.

Rather than manually scanning each mail.. it might be easier just to approve
new members through a moderator. That way pranksters would find it more
difficult to get through. (also I think, having a screen to enter the list
itself will act as a damper on the casual prankster like the one today)
Any thoughts?

Not a virus but simply (rude) junk mail.  The person who 
sent it subscribed to the mailing list, sent the 
advertisement, and unsubscribed all in the span of a few 
minutes.  I can't think of any way to avoid this problem 
other than act as a moderator for the list.  That would be 
a manual approval of all e-mails sent to the list prior to 
them being posted.  I would rather not do that unless it 
becomes more of a problem.  Opinions?

Jason
