Hi Florian,
No, I have set the new polysix group on Groups.io up in the same way as this one: I (or any other moderator) have to approve new members first. And even then, their first post is moderated. Should take care of spammers. This is in the free version.
The one thing I’m missing on Groups.io is that on Yahoo Groups, you had to give a short explanation why you wanted to join the group. I have not found this option (yet) on Groups.io.
Kind regards,
Ben

If I understand it right, then those groups would be open (subscription does not require confirmation by the moderator). That is not what I want, it opens those lists for spammers...
