I figured this one was just a message from an enthusiastic member and I would ask that you not disable this function because in my view, it's essential to the appeal of '4WD trip'. I enjoy getting the messages even if I'm not likely to go on the trip, just because it's good to see what adventures other 4WD'ers are up to. I think that the membership are likely to understand this little hiccup and you could probably send out an Admin News Broadcast once a month with a paragraph reminding people of the broadcast etiquette.
I feel your pain though. I have a website with 50,000 subscribers and I had to turn off the broadcast function because of a flood of spammers joining up and sending spam messages about cheap shoes and weight loss supplements. Pain in the butt 'eh. I even had to disallow all new sign-ups with yahoo.com email accounts.
I look forward to receiving more trip notifications and enjoying 4WDtrip as it grows.
Cheers, Dave Walkerden
