This means that the same rules for creating unmoderated newsgroups DO NOT APPLY to moderated newsgroups. As I recall, the proceedure for a moderated group involves discussion in net.news.group and the willingness of someone to be a moderator (and/or a gateway). Perhaps someone could clarify these rules, but I am sure that mod groups are not the issue here. Please do not include items that do not belong.
