Um, this is usenet; there is no comp.lang.python server. Are you
saying you want a moderated newsgroup? Hmm, maybe this group is busy
enough that there is some merit to that idea.
Sorry, I had a mistaken view of how usenet was implemented. But
yeah, I guess I'm thinking of a moderated newsgroup, but with a
large number of moderators working in parallel, and a very lax
acceptance policy. The goal is to filter out only the obvious
spam, and let through all the other non-spam traffic as quickly as
possible... What do I mean by "obvious spam"? Well, among the
most recent messages (that have survived my killfile policies) I
see the following subject lines:

* "germany jobs" "germany job sites" "germany job search" "jobs in germany" "german jobs" "germany jobs it"
"germany jobs for foreigners" "germany jobsite" "germany jobs in english" on http://jobs-germany.blogspot.com/
Those look pretty obvious to me.
But, as I already showed, I'm out of my depth here,
so I'd better shut up.
Some usenet newsgroups were/are moderated either by a robot, a person,
or a team (as you suggested). But a particular newsgroup has to be set
up that way from the beginning. Last I knew, it wan/is? difficult to
convert an unmoderated group to moderation.
