9.12 Moderation

If you are a moderator, you can use the ‘gnus-mdrtn.el’ package. It is not included in the standard Gnus package. Write a mail to ‘larsi@gnus.org’ and state what group you moderate, and you’ll get a copy.

The moderation package is implemented as a minor mode for summary buffers. Put

(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'gnus-moderate)

in your ‘~/.gnus.el’ file.

If you are the moderator of ‘rec.zoofle’, this is how it’s supposed to work:

1. You split your incoming mail by matching on ‘Newsgroups:.*rec.zoofle’, which will put all the to-be-posted articles in some mail group—for instance, ‘nnml:rec.zoofle’.
2. You enter that group once in a while and post articles using the e (edit-and-post) or s (just send unedited) commands.
3. If, while reading the ‘rec.zoofle’ newsgroup, you happen upon some articles that weren’t approved by you, you can cancel them with the c command.

To use moderation mode in these two groups, say:

(setq gnus-moderated-list
      "^nnml:rec.zoofle$\\|^rec.zoofle$")
