True, unmoderated does assume that someone will make it in to troll. That'll be a good note to make when making a specific post about un/moderated membership, which seems like a question that'll deserve some specific promoting. I do like the idea of people saying in a screened comment or an e-mail more than having them have to wrangle an invite -- they might already have to be hunting down an invite code for the site itself.
And since I made the meme post in my own journal I know at least one person who isn't on Tumblr at all specifically because of the trolls, which makes me think that other people might be in the same situation and might not know anyone to get an invite from. But the screened post/e-mail (possibly private message as well) idea seems like a much less labor-intensive way for people to get in, if we go with moderated membership.
