As far as I know for Usenet there is no moderator, just the opinions of everyone count if valid posts are made.

Some Usenet groups are moderated (I thing soc.genealogy.african and soc.genealogy.jewish are among them), largely to filter out mindless racist material, although in the case of the Jewish group the moderation seems to me to be somewhat idiosyncratic at the whim of the moderator.
