266 does seem high.  Many of these should probably be reverted to a 
newbie status if they haven't tried to post for a significant time.  
Chronic spammers with no hope of ever being reinstated might be better 
placed in a separate list.  The concern in this thread may be limited to 
only those individuals who have been put on moderation, after having 
once been accepted.  That should be a much smaller list.

Rather than providing a list, when an active member is put on 
moderation, a simple announcement that Xxxx has been put on moderation 
for yy days because of Zxxx should do the trick.
