Re: [DML] Poll Results

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Poll results currently are 28 to 21. Are the moderators really supposed to make wholesale changes to the DML (in either direction) on the basis of what 20 some odd people say?

All you have to do is out new members on moderated status for a few days until they have sent a few good emails to the group.  Once it is obvious they are real they an be taken off moderated status. This is how it is done on the Geo Metro group I am part of and it works very well.
