Cookin' SPAM

[pdCampbell@goodyear.com (pDaleCampbell)]

A proposal for SPAMicide:

A gatekeeper system, where the "post"-processor will kick-out a post from
anyone not on The Approved List.  These purgatorious posts would be Suspended
in Gaffa and sent to a select, annointed group of X (20?) people (any
volunteers?).  If at least Y (4?) of these "gatekeepers" sent it back to a
special address within Z (24?) hours, the post would be added to L-H and
r.m.g, and the post's author ID would be added to The Approved List for future
posts.  If said confirmation did NOT occur within Z hours, the post would be
sent on to hell (and, in a perfect world, the author would go with it).

The group-moderation handles problems with undue censorship and moderators
taking vacation.

Additionally, isn't there a way to determine whether an address is "real"
(finger?)?  That could be a first step.

The above system may not be technically feasible, given the list-processor
software used by "our humble pseudo-moderator".  There are certainly details
that need to be addressed which are not mentioned above.  Any comments?
