This is an un-moderated list. A "moderated" list is one where each and
every post must be approved before it appears in public.
There are "list owners" that manage issues related to the list...but
they may or may not read the list on a regular basis. Even if they do,
they generally stay out of the day to day opinionated discussions unless
someone really goes over the top....like threatening to hunt down
another user and bomb their homes or something like that. :-)
If you have what you feel is a really pressing need to be addressed, you
can email them. Their email address is easy to find.
It can be in between. I run several herpetology lists. New join requests
are met with an auto-greet requesting them to write a brief reason as to
why they want to join. This eliminates the spambots. Once new joins
prove to be "sentient" they are removed from moderated status.
Problem children can be individually placed on moderated status,
requiring screening and approval. Undoubtedly, this would be extremely
labour intensive for a list this size; however, I'm sure the list owners
sometimes take a peek and cringe at times. ;-)
