Stay tuned... This question comes up frequently in discussions of moderated groups, and the general consensus of the news.groups "regulars" is that moderators should either post messages unedited or return the text to the sender; they should NEVER post edited text, as this has the potential of misrepresenting the meaning of the sender (the only exception is when the group has a "digest" format, like comp.dcom.telecom). If your proposed moderation scheme involves the posting of edited texts, then you will probably face strong opposition. Of course, the moderators are free to give helpful advice to the sender (eg, "delete paragraph 3, and we'll post it"), but the final decision about any editing must be left to the sender.
