security vulnerabilities and security-related issues and to moderate
everything else.

Unmoderated means unmoderated.  You can't have "unmoderated discussion"
on a moderated list, nor can you moderate on an unmoderated list.

Either this list will continue to fill the niche that bugtraq doesn't---a
security list that isn't moderated---or it won't.  If the admins decide to
moderate the list, they're turning full-disclosure into a bugtraq knockoff.
At that point, given the amount of noise, it's probably no longer worth
it to be subscribed to both, and full-disclosure will just lose.

Len et al, don't be foolish.  Keep full-disclosure useful and tell the
crybabies to man procmailrc.
