Hey, Becky! Sorry, I disagree. I learned a lot during my moderated 
days, but I still remember how annoying it was to wait till your post 
appears on the list several hours later. I would NOT want to go 
through it anymore, no way.

I am going to tell you another thing. Even if you are off moderation 
status and your posts keep contain same mistakes, you may still get 
gentle explanation from the Elf. :o)

Even when I was off moderation status, I got some extra tutoring in 
snipping from Elves. I think I am better now. :)

My point is - even if you are not moderated anymore, elves still keep 
an eye and try to help if you continue same bad posting habits.

Alla:

Yes, as I said earlier I think I like this idea.
