Maybe I've been living under a rock for the past year?

But the only new posts in this group have been from spammers.

Has the group moved elsewhere? Shall I ditch yahoo groups for perhaps

a Bebo/Myspace/Facebook triend?

If the group has moved I wish the creator of b_Phobia would announce

it and delete this group. I'm just sick of reading spam in the hope

that some content may be related to the group's subject.

Hello,
 
The group hasn't moved, but there hasn't been any activity (other than the spam) for some time. The only way that I could prevent the spam (as far as I am aware) is to change the settings of the group so that I check all posts before they actually go out to the subscribers, but as I can't get online very often that means that any real posts would be delayed for some time.
 
There are button-phobia Facebook groups but they also seem to be fairly inactive.
 
Best wishes,
 
Claire.

Hi Claire (waves)



Is it possible for you to change the settings so that I can check

posts, since I am online every day? Or would that give me too much

power? (Mwah-hah-hah-ha!)



I can delete the spam and will do that anyway. I think new members will

be put off and won't post if they find the group and see it is all spam.



Barbara

Hello all,
 
This list has now been changed to a moderated list so that one of the moderators have to approve all posts before they are sent out to the whole list. Hopefully that will cure our spam problem! :-) I've also deleted all of the spam postings that I could find from the group archive.

Has anyone come across any interesting button-phobia tit-bits lately? I used to see quite a few references on TV programmes etc. but not for quite some time.
 
Best wishes,
 
Claire.
