I own the WWII list and I had to declare certain topics as being beyond
the scope of the list. Anyone who violates this declaration receives
gradually escalating responses until they are deleted (assuming they
fail to heed the warnings.)  This is the only moderation the list gets,
but the only problem we've had is a LARGE quantity of mail.
 
I'd say that your case would be similar, a person posting an article which
is outside the charter. Bounce her/him!
