It is important to understand that there are two sides to a gateway,
and thus two different groups of moderation strategies.  If the
newsgroup is to be moderated, it must be proposed and voted on,
and any change to un-moderated would also involve a vote (or the
moderator could automatically pass all articles, thus in effect
having an unmoderated newsgroup).

The mailing list side can also be moderated, without affecting the
newsgroup directly.  This would in effect be a filter on the list,
so list subscribers would see only part of the traffic from the
newsgroup, assuming some articles are rejected at the gateway.
This second moderation strategy is entirely at the discretion of
the list owner.

"Option C" is a hybrid setup, whereby the list owner automatically
passes articles that come from list subscribers, whether the
article came directly from the subscriber, or via the newsgroup
gateway.  It is another sort of filter, not moderation per se.

Hope this helps.
