We’ve all seen it happen.

You set up a group with hundreds or thousands of members, send a message, and all appears to be going well. Your members are engaging each other, asking questions and having great discussions — all the things that community managers love to see.

Then, it happens. One member decides to hit ‘reply all’ and send a one-word message: “unsubscribe.” Then another. And another. Soon, you have a listserv full of frustrated members wondering why their inboxes are getting slammed by irrelevant clutter.

That’s why GoLightly built ListProtect.

ListProtect monitors your list for excessive activity, and automatically switches the list to “moderated” if it notices anything unusual. That way, your list never gets out of hand, and your members stay focused on the conversations that matter. As one user who tried ListProtect noted, the new feature ”gives us confidence that we can leave groups unmoderated and yet not have future situations get out of hand!”

ListProtect protects all unmoderated group listservs. It won’t change the settings of any of your groups unless it detects an issue, and you’ll get a notification if ListProtect switches any of your active listservs to “moderated.”
