But that assumes someone wants to do it. Btw, how does it work?

Would have to be approved via those who use a given newsgroup,
moderator would have to have software to do it, and get approval from
a News Service Provider

That said, consider what Big-8, a News Service Provider, says on this
topic:


Policy in the Big-8

    The board is on record as opposed to changed unmoderated groups to
moderated in the Big-8. In view of the problems of making such changes
(which are technically feasible), the benefits of changing a group's
moderation status do not seem to be worth the costs involved.

    Please note well: The Big-8, despite its name, is only a small
subset of Usenet. The Board only makes policy for the Big-8. Other
hierarchies have their own policies.
