Blu Aardvark is now on moderation, by the way, for just a little too much odiousness. wikien-l is entirely too tolerant, but Jeff, you gotta be on crack to expect us to swallow the rubbish you've been serving today.
(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).
