Hm... I always use a newsgroup client, so maybe.  But in any case, I've never known anyone to have been blocked from posting, and the newsgroup interface does not have any moderation on it.  I'd be surprised if anyone with the ability to moderate spends any time moderating the newsgroup.

That might be a canned message.

Mailing list neither (never got any moderation message).

With newsgroups, I never got the moderation warning either.
But I did get that moderation message and then waited almost a day to see my message in the list. But this happened only to the first message in each list.

The first message sent to the list has to be okayed by Brad. That way, he has a way to stop spam bots. When he sees that you at least appear to be a real person, he lets your first e-mail through and then changes whatever settings he has to to make it so that the list then just accepts your e-mails. But since he has to do it personally, there can be a delay between when you send your first message and when it arrives. I believe that that occurs once per list that you sign up for.

The only other time that I've seen moderation messages are when I've sent messages that are too large (because of attachments with code), at which point Brad has to approve it. In general though, it's preferred that you post a link to code rather than attach it (which I didn't know at the time).

You typically shouldn't be seeing moderator messages.

I'll try to remember that.

Thanks for clarification. I already started to wonder if it was just me :)
