If the newsgroup were moderated, you'd see the word "moderated".

Alas, it isn't there.

You can filter out unwanted posts, as many will instruct. I personally have
no one in my killfile. I prefer to scan a subject line, and you can usually
tell if it's related to the topic or not.

Usually I'll put OT (for Off-Topic) in a post that has no bearing on the
concensus.
