I think David Gerard said human postings generally do
not score above
2.0 unless their vocabulary suggests a background in SEO, then it's
higher.
I don't remember saying the second part, but yeah, most human-written
emails score below 2.0. However, enough score above 2.0 (up to 5 or
even 7 is not uncommon) that email with a spam score over 2 should be
held in the mod queue for inspection, not outright rejected or
discarded.
(We largely solved this on wikien-l by requiring membership to post at
all. This is less than ideal for absolute openness, but we floated the
idea on the list to no objection and it's made maintenance *way*
easier.)
