He has subscribed to four of my lists over the past few weeks, which I've approved and put him on moderation immediately - as I do for all new members until they've posted and demonstrated that they're "genuine". By "genuine" I mean that I'm not fussy about what/how they post - anything about genealogy and on-topic for the list, which is not spam, passes my test. Most, including Migs, never post, of course. <sigh> Wendy Jim Jackson said the following on 8/03/2012 11:11 a.m.: > I have seen the address miguelmigsplus@gmail.com subscribe to quite a number > of lists I admin as well as those I serve as an assistant admin.

I don't do that unless I have a problem going on. Subbing in the middle of night, nasty messages quickly posted. Love the list life:). You say he has subbed over the last few weeks. Has he made any posts?

He has made no posts so far. Immediately after Diane (for whom I am acting as admin assistant on her lists) and I noticed he was subbing to a number of lists, we began placing him on moderation and have continued to do so with each new subscription. I was really concerned that he was trying to sub to a large number of lists slowly without rousing suspicion before inundating them all with spam messages. We will continue watching and moderating until he actually sends a message. It is possible he is interested in genealogy and simply subscribing to a bunch of lists for honest reasons. Time will tell, I guess.
