I think it would be better to have a back door alias, for free stuff
announcements only, that would bypass moderation. It would be very
sacred; if you sent something to it that was not an announcement of free
stuff (whether the offending mail be be spam, OT crap, or even a reply to
such an announcement), you would be *banned* from all of classiccmp unless
you could present a *very* good case to the list owner.

Another way of doing it: don't do anything. If an moderated member wants
to post a free stuff announcement, he either lets it go through the
moderator or finds a trustworthy unmoderated member to post it for him.

Just some ideas...
