Oh please, what are you trying to threaten people because
you can't be bothered to filter your own email? Why don't we
just censor all information.  That way we'll all have more
freedom, right?

So get a new job.

Frankly, I'd rather that you did, personally. Rather than
complaining and trying to make every mailing list owner do
your administrator's job to filter spam, you could just
leave the list and stop whining.

Moderated lists create an undue burden on these people that
are just volunteers, and slow down the discussions.
