If I may suggest -- after you've removed the "trash" users from
membership, the optimum setting is to make sure that All Posts from
New Users are Moderated, usually as an automatic override. Once
you've observed the first few posts from a new group member, if they
seem reasonably on topic, you can remove the restriction from them
and they'll be unmoderated. But for all of the spammer trash,
they'll join and their first posts will be trash, which you'll get --
you then reject their post, and remove and/or ban them from the
group. That way, you don't have to "restrict" group membership, just
monitor the first few posts of any new user. But, whatever works for
you. Good luck.
