Indeed.  Also, one should also take into consideration anti-spam/abuse 
mitigation.  Ideally, setting up pgpmoose or like.
   https://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/pgpmoose/

Tim mentions that he can watch newsgroups and send the related NoCeM 
messages to cancel unwanted articles posted with an Approved header 
field in moderated newsgroups, but I don't know how many such newsgroups 
are watched and whether his robot still work.
I think this is a useful service to have in Usenet moderation.  And I 
agree there should be more than one watching robot.  Adding new NoCeM 
keys can take ages as they need being manually added by news 
administrators, so the best is to have current NoCeM senders doing that :)
