If confirmations were required for posting by non-members (before
the messages would make it into a moderation queue), I think that
would pretty much completely solve all the moderation problems that I
have personal experience with.
But then we're getting dangerously close to tools like Active
Spam Killer or TMDA, which I am generally violently opposed to.
Maybe those kinds of tools are appropriate for mailing list use
but not personal use, I dunno....
I'll have to think long and hard on that topic.
