You are most welcome to modify the access_rules for those lists you moderate if 
you feel they are broken ... there is no way for the system to know you 
*didn't* approve what was in the moderation queue (it kinda assumes that, as 
moderator, you approved any legit postings, not rejected them because the 
poster wasn't subscribed) ...
