I thought to deny groups with wildcards only @ is needed?

....It is a uwildmat pattern supporting poison (@) wildcards; ...
... If a newsgroup matches an @ pattern in pattern, then not only is it
not added to the subscription list, but any articles crossposted to that
newsgroup also will not be sent to that site even if other newsgroups to
which it was crossposted are in that site's subscription list. This is
called a poison pattern (because matching groups are "poisoned").

Hello I am a INN noob, been running the server and some newsgroups for
like now 1 year give or take and have asked many other admins I peer
with if that config was correct and they all said yes.
if is not please say something, I will be happy to change it.
In short we do not want porn/binaries/warez etc

PS: If I remember well I got that config from Eternal September (that is
one of our peers)
