266 list members are currently moderated, out of the 901 list members.
Wow - I didn't realise the list membership was so small! (considering the size of Wikipedia) Also 266/901 is a rather hefty proportion on moderation I would have thought - almost 30% of the total membership!
I would imagine that the vast majority of them have never posted, and hence never been automatically taken off moderation.
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.
