Moderated and Unmoderated Lists
A list
moderator moderates a mailing list to
ensure that the list always
receives and sends appropriate and relevant information to its members.
When a list moderator is responsible for discarding any messages that are inappropriate for or irrelevant to the
lists members, the list is
known as a moderated list.
When an individual does not moderate the list and
postings are sent to list
members automatically, the list is an unmoderated list.
