Yes, you can set that user to NOPOST.  The caveat is that the user can
unsubscribe after you do that and then resubscribe and be able to post
again.  See the List Owner's Manual, chapter 5.3.9.
 
If needed, you could add in the list header:
 
* Default-Options= REVIEW
 
which will cause each user to be set automatically to REVIEW when they
subscribe.  This causes each posting by that user to be forwarded to
the list editor (or list owner, if no Editor= is defined) for approval
before it is distributed.  You can then decide whether or not to change
the user to NOREVIEW based on whether or not the postings meet your
standard.  See chapter 5.3.11 for more info.
 
The question of setting a list to default to the REVIEW option was
discussed at length on LSTOWN-L at some point in the last 6 months
or so...
