Well I'll vote YES for moderation - at the worst, it will cut down on a lot
of inappropriate cross-posting (a la MES) that don't really belong here.
I'll even further my vote to include moderation of news.sysadmin as well.

For the people who want to continue to flame or cross-post to news.admin,
perhaps we can create a new group, a subgroup of news.admin called
news.admin.bullshit or news.admin.whocares....
