I agree. Moderation of first posters has major risks, especially if the moderators are idle, or in case of an issue which moderators are not aware of. If moderation be concluded, I am willing to moderate messages of first-time posters, six days per week, fifteen hours per day.

Greetings Schimon,
Thank you for raising this.
I'm concerned that moderating all first-time posters may be worse than the problem it aims to solve. Reviewing the archives, there appear to be only six or seven spam messages in the past year, though admittedly several were recent.
There's a balance to strike between preventing spam and remaining welcoming to new contributors. At present, I'm not convinced stronger moderation would be beneficial, though it's something we should continue to monitor.
Kind regards,
Guus

Greetings.
I advise to moderate people who have never posted to this mailing-list.
It is bad enough that there is only a single official mailing-list; and
Having issues with that single one will even worse.
Please advise.
