How can I change the moderated status of all members in my group?

Question

I am a new moderator for a group that has a lot of spam. I changed the membership default to moderated to prevent spammers from posting as soon as they join. When I see a valid post from a new member, I change their status to unmoderated.

But there seem to be a lot of "sleepers" who have already signed up and gotten unmoderated status before I became a moderator. They then get at least one "free" post for any sort of spam they care to send.

I want to change the status of everyone to moderated while leaving the group default to unmoderated. This would then put everyone back into the status of not being able to send spam until I see at least one valid message from them. But it looks like I would have to manually change the setting for 3500 members!!! Is there an easier way to do this?

there is no mass changing that setting. you have to do this manually for all your members.
