I have the same problem with the text.  It says:

The stated requirement is that it must not "interfere with a prompt
technical debate". Clearly, that rules out anything requiring human
intervention.  What do you have in mind that would allow the
spammer^H^H^H^H^H^H^H participant to post without subscribing
and without interacting with a chair or list administrator?
