Different forums and mail lists have different rules, and like 19psi says the owner decides, its his house and his rules. A very common rule is ON TOPIC, nobody wants a technical discussion of dynamic compression ratios to deteriorate into politics.
Usenet is the opposite, one @ss can ruin a group by flooding it with junk and its almost impossible to stop them without going to a fully moderated group (all posts approved by a moderator, which typically delays all posts by hours or even days).
