You can't be spamming if you're posting on-topic.

A moderated group would have major advantages. Aside from anything
else, it would put a stop to the nym-shifting of our friend Gary
Stewart, as he wouldn't be able to post.
The issue we'd get, though, is that they (the trolls, like Erik, Timmy,
Gary, Bill Weisg. etc.) would choose a new nym, be reasonable for a long
long time, and then would start the same old low-level trolling, indeed,
might well attempt to get the on-topic, pro-charter folk banned.
I don't think it's possible to overestimate how low these people will go
- you only have to look at Erik's attack on Rex as an example of one of
the most appalling attacks I've ever seen.
