Moderating is not difficult, but spammers left on their own will create 
many accounts and then bombard the list with spam, one can't delete them 
quickly enough if the can create a new account without any barriers.

Time will tell, I have belonged to groups that were rendered useless 
until the owners started moderating new user comments and new accounts. 
I'm one of the owners of a list with over 10000 members and its not bad 
to keep an eye on things.
