But it would mean more overhead for the maintainer as there's an
application to support and it is likely to get a lot of attention from
spammers who try to use the forum for their spam.
Here is my experience with groups.io
When a new person signs into the list, you can set it up so they are
moderated for their first X number of posts.
(You can make the list fully moderated, but that slows the flow.) If I know
the poster, I typically take moderation off on their first post, people I
don't know, I look at that first post and ofter take off moderation if it
looks legitimate. You can always put someone on moderation or block them.
I have had no spam bot activity, I think their anti-spam controls are
probably blocking attempts to even subscribe. I have not had a spammer to
block as far as I recall.
Groups can be made public or private -- I think public read, subscriber
only postings are good. I always make the wiki public.
