The point being made is that moderation with forums / askubuntu is
easier. They usually have a button which a user can press to indicate
that a thread is problematic. With mailing lists there is no such
feature. Moderators of mailing lists generally have to read the list
(i.e. every single mail) or rely on someone to alert them when there's
a problem thread.
