I think it a little strange that people are calling on the list masters to monitor a list that is declared as non moderated, and has a Usenet component. Just how exactly are you going to stop people from posting from Usenet?
Some people have listed various names, and addresses for inclusion in this type of censorship. Usenet and mailing lists already have devices for this type of thing called kill files. I would suggest you try this method as it seems to work for a lot of people. The singling out of people in my book is a clear violaton of the rules of conduct, regardless of past posts. Especially in other threads and other venues people have taught tolerance and acceptance, but in this one situation where following ones own advice would be advocated. What part of Usenet don't you understand, referring to people using this list or Newgroup as a personal playing field is unfounded. Every person who posts on topic or off is using it as his or her own playing field. The act of posting is using the list or in some terms used as a playing field. This whole thread could be determined to be a playing field to spread propaganda about the elitist way to behave on a mailing list/Newsgroup. Whats stopping people from starting a moderated Newsgroup with a charter that you want. If this list is so off topic, and useless as many suggest then by all means take your ball and start a moderated Newsgroup where you can practice your censorship to your hearts content. Singling out 6 or 12 people for censorship on a non moderated list, just to keep the traffic down seems to be a childish thing to do.
