Hi Carol "Emergency moderation of all list traffic" is really the way to go. Moderating every single subscriber is a waste of time. If you undo the moderation, subscriber by subscriber, how do you keep track of subscribers that should be on permanent moderation? You'll need to have a separate document or spreadsheet. Unsub and ban the Wonky subscriber. Subscribers that also posted inflammatory messages, like Roy, should probably be put on permanent moderation. I'm not sure Listmaster will remove the flames, but you can try. Generally only spam is removed at an administrator's request. Good luck! Lynne
