CORGI,
You really cannot compare a message board to a list. They are very different forms of holding discussions. A post on a message board stays on the site as opposted to a list where everyone who is subscribed receives that post. Therefore, for a message board, moderating every post before it is posted would be inefficient as well as detrimental to the discussion at hand. The negatives would outweigh the positives.
However, from the examples you have listed, our approach would be closest to Showpem-L's moderating style. If a member posted something inappropriate, it can be easily removed with a click of a button. Furthermore, that member can warned, temporarily banned, or permanently banned. We also have the software to track down users who try to hide their identities by using proxies.
Currently, this site is still fairly new so we have not had any posts needing moderating, but we are in search of a few knowledgable, friendly people to help moderate.
Keep in mind, no one on the internet can really be completely anonymous. IP adresses can tell you who and where a user is.
