If the moderation status is changed by removing and recreating the group 
(as opposed to using the RFC 5537 mechanism I described elsewhere in 
this thread) then whether the existing posts get deleted is up to the 
software running on the individual news servers.  If this isn't 
addressed in their respective documentation, then it's probably a good 
question to post on news.software.nntp, or to send directly to the 
developers.

Regards,
Tristan
