I use that approach in a few yahoo groups that I moderate. I put new members
on moderation--after I've seen a few good (non-spam) posts from them, I
(manually) take the off moderation.
Occasionally I have to put someone back on moderation.
I prefer putting a spammer on moderation rather than booting them from the
list--if I boot them, they get a notice they've been booted, and I suspect
many of them then try to resubscribe under a new name.
If I moderate their posts, often they don't even know it--they don't check the
lists to see if their posts actually get distributed, and, they then have no
incentive to resubscribe under a new name.
I've got on spammer that's been on moderation approaching 2 years at this
point.
