A moderated group?
Perhaps, thing is somebody has to moderate it.
I'm not sure how these things work on Usenet but presumably
you can post what you want but it could be deleted if deemed
innapropriate.

Alternatively, are all posts 'screened' by a moderator beforehand and
they only appear if passed fit for publication?
If so that's no good for a weather group that needs to be 'real time'
in nature, especially during notable events.

The 'moderator' can be a 'robot' so real-time postings may not be a
problem, as long as they are from existing known users.

I haven't read it all yet but this FAQ may help:
