Group Bordom - for Cube Dweller?

Question

Thank you for your responce - you don't accept mails so hope you find this.

I agree with what you said - I was aiming for the 100 - 150 member mark, might have to go bit higher!

Another que - I require membership - but have no moderation on members - do you suggest that I make the group public with no membership?

After a while, spammers will discover your group if it is a public group.  Moderation of members is a good thing.  You can prevent spam from the spammers from reaching your group members.  It is best if you use a "new member moderation" policy.  Leave members moderated until they have made a few posts.  Once you are sure they aren't a spammer and it is pretty clear that they are going to be a regular poster, you can take them off moderation.

You'll find that a lot of people just like to "lurk" on groups.  They read group messages but never post.
