Hello! I apparently still have admin privileges for the email list, so I removed the account that was spamming the list and banned that address.
Should be resolved now; apologies for all the spam.
April
Thanks April!

Thank you! I missed the drama because I was volunteering at Positive Spin. I deleted 70 spam threads from the archives.
If this happens again we'll begin moderating new subscriptions.
Let's get some more people admin access so it doesn't all rely on one person. Please respond to this email if you'd like to have admin access. Thanks!

I'd be happy to have it. I feel like I may have already been set up for it, but if so I lost my login info.

Thank you, Cyclista. I added you as a moderator. You can reset your password at https://lists.bikecollectives.org/accounts/password/reset/ .
Unfortunately, these days moderating new subscriptions makes good sense. We experienced the same spam attack at the Wiki. First it started as a trickle, then they played games with us, but eventually it turned into a flood, 1000 times worst then just what happened with this list.
We do have recaptcha implemented, but spammers are now gaining an
advantage because of AI. That is the new world we now live in.
However, thankfully bike collectives are managed by humans!
