Most generally folks who subscribe to moderated newsgroups know that they are
moderated, whereas they know in advance the parameters of what content is
permitted, therefore since they hope to see their contributions posted, and
that they don't receive an unvoluntary unsubscribing, they tend to stick to the
rulz... in summary the vast majority of moderated Newsgroups require very
little moderating.
Also, moderated Newsgroups do not as a rule receive nearly the traffic of of
say an <r.f.c>. And moderated Newsgroup servers post in batches, perhaps a few
times each day, so moderators really don't slave away night and day as you
imply.

There really aren't all that many moderated Newsgroups, the vast majority are,
like r.f.c, unmoderated. Mostly those who want 'moderated' for a particular
topic where none exists join a "list serve" group, or start one themselves.
The rest, like those shit heads who pop up here from time to time simply
whine... but then that's the most indicative identifier (whining) of a Newbie,
in particular a Newbie Piece of Shit.

Then of course there are the phucking professional lurkers... useless/worthless
scum that they are... may the gods of terminal diseases visit upon them their
wrath.
