I'm not so sure if I'd want a moderated group, if 'moderation' means

paid closer attention to by admins and inappropriate posts deleted/edited
and posters warned, that might be better.

Lugnet has gotten by just fine without moderators, but that's because
historically the admin(s) have been there to step in and say "don't do
that" and even delete messages if needed.  If it is expected that
admins will continue to play a less active role, as they have
recently, then moderation might be the answer.  However I'd rather
have active admin(s) than moderators.

What about a lugnet.announce.moc??  This would let people posting MOC
announcements across all themes have a place to put their MOCs up before the
whole community.  The charter for .announce could more forcefully
specifically ban MOC posts and refer MOC posters to the new group.

I like this idea a lot.
