The problem is that moderated groups have different properties from

for posts originating in google groups whereas the same sequence of
posts sent to alt.test succeeded. I know because I did those tests.
There are other reasons why moderated groups behave differently -- the
posting agency has to know about the moderation, for example, and send
it differently.

There have also been issues with some news servers being
improperly configured for a "robo-moderated" group such as
t.o; apparently it required some sort of tweaks to the
server software. It was a temporary issue back in the
mid-90s when I was on (IIRC) Comcast.

Consider the possibility that un-moderated groups
are just easier, and 'better' from the whole free-speech
perspective. "Kill lists" - individually customized - are
a more ideologically-civilized solution. I visit some
groups where my (extremely small) kill-list actually
makes over 50% of new posts disappear some days.
The "tragedy of the commons" problem need not be
resolved by some sort of 'god' figure (robo or otherwise)
hurling lightning bolts down upon the heathens.
