Having such a list would certainly be nice though spam wasn't bothering me to 
much. But I don't think that I have the time for frequent moderation but on a 
rare random base in future (therefore not a real Yes and not a real No for 
moderation).
Do you really think there are so many users which would need such a list 
(besides the spam)? I'm not entirely sure if work should be put into this.
