 Why not?  A moderated group using aggressive address whitelisting can be 
 almost entirely transparent to the group's real users, while reliably 
 blocking almost all hit and run promoters.  I don't know how bad the 
 problems are in misc.invest, however, so if they're more of a low level 
 annoyance then going unmoderated may well be adequate.
