Suppose we commit to a very light moderation, by me,
which you said
you could accept, with others helping out by doing
approvals of posts.
AND we commit to setting up and testing a bbs system
as you've
proposed several times in the past.
We experiment -- wikien-l becomes moderated.
wikipedia-l stays
unmoderated and migrates to a bbs/email system. We
later revisit the
issue (March 1st, I propose) and see how it's
working out in practice.
Some of your objections are concerns I share... for
example, under
moderation, the pace of a list is slowed down. But,
by how much, and
does it help or hinder productive discussions?
That's an empirical
question, and it depends on how many approvers we
have and how often
they are logged in, etc.
