Someone would need to volunteer to be the moderator.
Also, moderation is something of a consenting-adults
thing on usenet. It's not hard for a sufficently
knowledgeable person to bypass the moderation.
(I'm told there's a security-related usenet group that
takes advantage of this. It's a moderated group with
no moderator; if you know enough to fake the approval,
you're considered entitled to post. :-)
