> o today. Usenet was where the terms moderated and un-moderated started. Then


On Usenet, moderated used to mean to keep the spam out, keeping the
messages on topic.  Back in the early 1990's, there were some good
moderated groups.  The un-moderated ones were not all bad, either. Some
stayed on topic by nature, although you might sometimes get spam.  Others
were free-for-alls, some of which could be figured out by the NG name, like
alt.freeforall, or alt.some-famous-person.die.die.die.
