I have been moderating/owning mailing lists for the last 7 years. You 
might try that option instead of a message board. That way you can 
close the list so you have to approve subscriptions. You can also 
request that the people fill out a questionaire first (using 
openended questions so they don't know what you are expecting). I did 
this with my last list and have very few problems now.
