I've noticed there are quite a few newsgroups out there that are moderated,
i.e. one or more people vet the posts before they make it onto the
newsgroup. Regular contributors , after a while, have their posts accepted
autoatically and other posts are vetted for their suitability before
appearing. Isn't there something similar that could be employed here?


I'm afraid not, at least not without a great deal of time and effort
spent going through the "due process", by which time hopefully the
flooding would only be a distant memory. Have a look on:

and

to get an idea of what would be involved.
