I don't think so. The only way would be for someone to 'moderate' it and put a filter on the group. Something along these lines would be great but I'm not sure if it would be necessary on a 'research' group. The big wars going on are mostly just the result of crap that has little to do with the technology/theory/etc. of cryptology and much more to do with government, law, etc. (which would probably continue on sci.crypt but which we could easily ignore :-).
