If I read a post or posts from a user an then they are no longer in the
archive, I would notice that :)
Similarly if an "active user" whose posts are less than useful suddenly
stops posting I can assume that he came to his senses (unlikely) or that he
was forcefully "retired" :)

I couldn't agree more. But since some people prefer the mailing list I think
the best option would be to ALSO have an OFFICIAL forum. If a user ends up
by mistake at a mailing list he could be redirected to the forum.

But filtering real spam is indeed a contribution. It helps to weed useless
topics.
Of course a moderator would be much more useful if such a forum existed ;)

(Personal note: Non-developer contributions don't seem to be highly valued
in this community, in my experience...)
