Re: [ATM] Time to change the list format?

Spamx is an automated program for spam on forums.  However, some lists 
are closed to non members for posting just like we have now.  Right now, 
if some one joined the list they could spam it.  There is nothing to 
stop that.  Most forum software has the ability for moderator 
privilges.  Just chose/elect/whatever some volunteers to delete spam.
