Bill: The first thing to do is to change the group settings so that new members will be automaticly moderated when they join this group.
That will not affect current members and it is the only sensible way to defeat the "join & post" tactics of professional spammers. I'm amazed that a dog group with this many members is not being overwhelmed with SPAM already.
