If you register (and you are currently registered at that address )  
you can generally avoid moderation. The view available to the  
moderators is very limited and we cannot see anything other than your  
address, so I have no idea when you might have registered, but this  
appears to be the first thread that you started. Your first message  
(and any replies in that thread it seems) gets moderated and if the  
moderator is not sleeping and remembers to clear your moderation flag,  
your chances for subsequent moderation will drop substantially (after  
the server cycles through its administrative cycles  at the end of the  
day ...  I think).

There are still exceptions and addresses from "free" domains do raise  
the probability of future moderation by an amount that is not under  
the control of the moderators. The moderators themselves still  
sometimes get their own postings shunted to the queue, so you should  
not take any of this personally. There is no completely effective  
"whitelist". The spam avoidance efforts do seem peculiar at times, but  
they are mostly effective ... and mostly unobtrusive... to most of the  
audience. The moderators discard all the adverts for Parisian  
apartments and other commercial junk mail. So we keep the ETH IT  
admins happy. And we get free hosting for a very useful service, so we  
are happy.

(The moderators are not looking to expand their workload and we do not  
set the rules. Please do not ask us to change the rules. We don't  
understand all of the rules and can't change them, anyway.)
