No, you can't.

To add to what Jim McIntosh said earlier, there is no guarantee that
every news administrator will comply and make the newsgroup moderated.
Beyond the few months of confusion, you as list owner will need to
watch for articles that you have not personally approved, then track
down the non-compliant site and politely ask the administrator there
to set the newsgroup as moderated.

In the meantime, you'll make your life somewhat easier by moderating
the list.
