It definitely makes sense to do SOMETHING wth such articles. Letting them go
by 'unpunnished' could defeat the purpose of moderation. Something has to be
done to stop articles that get posted from sites that are MISSING moderation
flags.
  Perhaps it would be best to mail the message back to whoever posted it. 
Either way: the site with offending moderation file should be notified.
