As I recall, several years ago (when I was more active in the local
newsgroups) there was a proposal to robo-moderate dc.politics by
rejecting all cross postings. I thought then, and do now, that this
approach would ease the problems with a number of groups including the
current dc.general. At the time uunet agreed to honor such
cancellations, but noone actually put the software in place to make it
happen.

IMHO, a better answer than moderation.
