Mark - I owe you an apology - bad choice of words, As always with these things, its often easier to notice the odd problem than the good work that's gone on for a long time
I had looked a few times recently and there seemed to be a lot of this stuff there - hence my comment I'm happy to weigh in an help Kind Regards Giles D: +44 20 3603 0541 | M: +44 796 111 2055 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Mark Hinkle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 06 January 2014 19:16 To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: linkedin group Giles, That's a little dramatic unless you see something I don't . There were some spam posts over the last three days. Sorry no one jumped on that right away. I deleted four posts and blocked the main spammer. that's hardly overrun.I typically delete spam weekly when I get my email update from LinkedIn. > We've just had a discussion on the Apache @marketing list and noticed > recently that this community had become overrun with recruiters, > weight loss adverts, etc and runs the risk of becoming a negative > advertisement for the technology If anyone wants to step up and help moderate the group please feel free to request access through LinkedIn I am happy to grant access to anyone who is active here to do so. I just changed your role and Chip's role to group manager so you can make anyone you want a moderator or manager. If you want to make it a committer thing too that's fine. I just hope that the activity doesn't drop off like it did with the CloudStack Twitter account.
