Creating a set of moderation guidelines to cover the few people on
moderation on this list is not really an efficient use of my time. I would
imagine most people feel the same way.

This strongly suggests that moderation is the only thing keeping your
posting behaviour acceptable.
Remember that the actual point is to make the list not toxic. So far,
it appears moderation is doing that job.
I have noted that I am not personally inclined to remove the
moderation, but that if any other moderator did I wouldn't object. So
far none have done so, and instead have concurred with the above
analysis.
Nobody has a right to post to this list. But so far every post you've
made while on moderation has gone through.

Based on a thread I started at Wikimedia-l, the above general
guideline for email list moderation is being improved above, ensuring
better transparency of list moderation. I am hoping that Wikimediauk-l
will adopt this as best practice. Please do take part on meta if you
have some thoughts about improvement.
I have been moderated on this list for quite a while now, I guess it
will be forever unless a guideline for appeals is adopted. My
moderation was not started for any post on this list, the explanation
I had from David, was that he personally did not like my posts to
Wikimedia-l and so responded by moderating me here (I have never been
moderated on any other list than this one).
A key disadvantage to moderation is that my emails to this regularly
take 2 days to get posted, so I am not inclined to take part in any
active discussion - instead I just post off-list or have used
Wikimedia-l or one of the other lists that volunteers interested in
the same projects as me take part in. I have never had an email not
get posted, they just confusingly appear "pre-dated" as if they were
posted when I sent them. Of course there are advantages in spending
more time in other places rather than a UK centric email list, so it's
swings and roundabouts.
