Now that I have a bit more time to sit and make real comments...
Re the safe spaces policy: I was involved with a lot of the intitial ToS planning for the TransYadas forum, so I have some limited experience on that front. Want me to help out with the drafting of the one for this community?
I vote for unmoderated membership. If we have trolling problems later, moderate it and let people in on a provisional basis--keep an eye on them in the community and on their personal spaces, that sort of thing--and wait to see if they become productive members. But to start with, especially with so many people who are brand new to DW, unmoderated seems the best plan.
