To prevent / deter spam, I would like to bring this group setting option to your attention:

Instead of a public group opens to anyone, you may wish to set "who can join" to a "moderated" setting, which means that one needs to apply / request to be admitted to a group. You can change the setting in "Group Admin" > > Group Overview > > Who can join (Apply to join -- moderator approval required or By invitation only)

Your group is of great valuable resources, and we'd love to assist you to keep its high content quality. Ultimately the group owner and group members have the "responsibilities" to actively monitor, control the content (or actively remove inappropriate ones), etc. Group manager also has many group settings - like to invite you to read the "Group" in our Help to learn more about various options available to you.

Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

Has there been a spam problem in this group so far? What prompted your post, Maggie?

Just a suggestion and FYI

Good resources here. Would you like us to feature your group? (Note: if a group is being featured, while it gets great exposure and attracts more like-minded folks, there is also the potential downside to attract some spam as well.) Just let us know if you're interested or not. Either way is fine.

Keep up the great work.

Your group is being featured on diigo homepage http://www.diigo.com/index

The list will rotate. Any other good groups, Lists, Users, Site Communities, ... please kindly recommend. We would like to start more actively promoting good content, both through algorithm and through member referral / recommendation. Thanks
