hopefully this is a one off and not a pattern that will become problematic to moderate.
If it gets significantly worse we have a few options. A fairly unobtrusive one is to set a default moderation policy for new subscribers and then moderators can switch them to unmoderated once they post anything of substance, which keeps new subscribers showing up just to post spammy gibberish from reaching the list (unless they can write something convincing enough to fool a mod). It means some additional work for the moderators, but since the majority of posts come from people who have posted before it's probably not a substantial increase. -- Jeremy Stanley
