IMPORTANT: The APA strives to obtain the highest list subscriber satisfaction for lists that are hosted on APA systems. Based on feedback from list subscribers, all new forum lists are required to be moderated initially. Among other things this allows the administrator to remove subscribers who have been added to the list without their permission without messages going to everyone on the list. Based on our experience, bulk additions to Lists whereby subscribers are added to a list without their knowledge are frequently not well-received and result in many requests for removal from the list. Accordingly, we REQUIRE that potential list members give their consent BEFORE being added to any APA hosted Listserv® list. The List Administrator can send a separate message notifying potential subscribers of the existence of the new list with instructions to join. Those potential members can then choose whether or not to join.
