We DO do that and Gerhard's notice when he unsubs the person explains what they need to do to resolve the problem. The infected emails that hit the list from these hijacked accounts have an affect on more than just the poster...they can result in other subscribers becoming infected if they click the links blindly without thinking and it also can get other innocent people unsubbed from lists if they accidentally report the spam as BEING SPAM to to their ISP and the ISP reports back to RootsWeb that this person said RW mail was spam.

I can understand this if all lists had no admin to use MOD. Just my ideas.
