Seriously, I'm not sure why this got through. Probably because either this user was contributing nicely to the list for a while, thus being taken off moderation, or because a mod has particularly lenient standards. Usually it's the latter; I myself probably would have erred on the side of approving it. Contrary to common belief, mods are not too strict about what appears on the list; it's the *blatantly* repetitive/redundant/non-contributing stuff that we reject.
And wikien-l is an official channel of complaint. It's when it gets repetitious wesay "thank you. No really, THANK YOU. THAT'S ENOUGH. Talk about something else." Putting a complaint to wikien-l pretty much guarantees it'll be looked into by multiple people. It does not, however, guarantee the desired response, and repetition doesn't work.
