As someone with a long usenet background, converting the existing group
to moderated would be practically impossible. It just isn't done. It
would need to be a new group created with the .moderated tag. The
problem is that some servers won't change and getting things mixed like
that just creates propagation problems, so it just isn't done.

Basically, some machine would need to be designated to get all the
submissions to the group, emailed to it, and people would need to log
into the email account on that computer to approve all the posts, or a
robot could perhaps be setup to auto-approve most based on some rules.
