(aside) Would you, or someone, explain what list
moderation is and how it
works? Or provide me with a link that explains it. I'm serious, I've looked
but couldn't find what I needed to understand it.
It means their messages are held in the moderation queue and may be
sent to the list, rejected (sent back to them) or discarded (thrown
away silently). This introduces inconvenience for the poster as their
messages are sent to the list on a moderator's convenience basis.
New members of the list start on moderation, which is annoying for
all, but sadly necessary to control the trolls (or, rather, one
troll).
