- It means just what it says; that the newsgroup has a moderator who
- must approve postings before they appear -- hence, the newsgroup is
- moderated.

- Perhaps the moderator of the group in question doesn't feel that
- advertisements of the sort you are trying to post are appropriate to
- that group? Or perhaps there is something wrong with the way your
- news program is posting to that particular moderated group (I have
- this problem with one or two groups -- the address articles get sent
- to bounces)?
