Dear All, Since the beginning of the Axapta Knowledge Village - May 22, 2004 - the number of members has grown to +4100 today with an average of 200 messages a month. The amount of spam messages increased also substantially. It seams there are still a lot of people that believe they are allowed to disturb a professional group with non-related material.
Although Yahoo groups is a perfect medium for group discussions avoiding spam is hardly impossible due to the anonymity of a Yahoo profile. The main rule of the Axapta Knowledge Village has been (and will remain) to moderate messages of new members until they have proven to be reliable. I am running this group since 2004 in my spare time and as a result new members will have noticed that it takes a while before their messages are approved. Main reason is that it takes at least ten minutes each day to filter out spam messages. New members sending in spam - messages are immediately banned from the group. To increase the quality of the Axapta Knowledge Village a more reliable group environment is required. An online network - village - where professionals can share information, participating members can see who is online and who is posting a question, and what the level of professionality is of co-members. Another objective of mine is to share group-management responsibilities with other community-minded members. One of such network places is LinkedIn. You can now visit the Microsoft Dynamics AX Knowledge Village <http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/165338> . Have fun, the Axapta Knowledge Village team
