How do I delete messages from my Yahoo Groups account/message board? A lot of spam here.?

Question

When I go to my Yahoo Groups, there are many spam messages. How do I delete them?

Answer 1

respond to them

Answer 2

Your moderator should be putting in some moderation on the posts.  If you are the moderator. Click management, lower left on your group's home page. In the next window click messages. Scroll down to posting and archives and click edit . You could check moderate all posts. Click save changes.

Answer 3

it's a good idea to moderate posts (on new users only, if you want) to stop spammers being able to post. depending on how strict, you could send out an email to applicants asking for something (eg on freecycle we ask for a postcode - spammmers don't usually reply!)

if you go to the message screen (as a mod), you can tick the tick-box down the side and delete en-masse, or otherwise go into a message you want to delete and do so (options at the top of the message)

if you're not a mod, only members can delete their own messages

Answer 4

You can only delete them if you are an owner or moderator of the Group.  If you are, then while logged in to the Yahoo Group web site, click on the Subject of one of the messages you want to delete from your message list.  This will display the clicked-on message on the resulting page.  Towards the upper-left-hand corner of the message will be a Delete link (next to a Forward link); click it, then confirm on the next page that you really do want to delete the message.  Repeat this process for each message you want to delete from your Group's message archives.
