The hoops to join are the same for every group and spammers have the
method down pat, we've already had around 4-5 spammers join. I don't
mind doing message approval (I'm a moderator) for the time being, I
don't think the extra half a day that a message would wait will mater
much at this point in time. When we get busy again then it won't be
worth it and we'll switch it back. But then one spam won't be 50% of the
messages that month.
