I've noticed there are quite a few newsgroups out there that are
moderated, i.e. one or more people vet the posts before they make it
onto the newsgroup. Regular contributors , after a while, have their
posts accepted autoatically and other posts are vetted for their
suitability before appearing. Isn't there something similar that
could be employed here?


You can't turn an unmoderated group into a moderated one. You'd have to
go through the process of getting a moderated group created.
