All, I've gained administrative privileges over this list to address the spammer. I want to hear from others before I touch anything.
The spams continues because moderation is outright disabled for the list. Our other choices are to apply moderation to non-group members only, or everybody. I cannot select the former because it does nothing for us; the list is configured to allow anyone to join the group. I cannot easily select the latter because it means accepting moderation overhead, when the community is already moving to Discourse. I've been informed that an invite-only approach might not be appropriate, but without moderation, the only option I see is to change the privacy settings. Here are the choices Google gives us. - Invited users only - Anyone on the web can join - Anyone on the web can ask I lean toward "Invited users only" because it's the only option that does not carry a moderation requirement, which seems prudent given the state of the community. Assuming that I can give vetted, participating members power to invite, a path to revival for the mailing list exists without burdening the Discourse migration. Comments welcome, but note that I do not know the chain of command. If it comes down to my judgement, please let me know.
