I think this may explain it (comment from gnus-mdrtn.el): ;; This package is designed for enabling moderators to do various ;; spiffy things while moderating groups. Some of these things are ;; rather evil if done by non-moderators -- cancelling other people's ;; articles, including Approved headers and so on. So while this file ;; is GPL'd and there therefore is no distribution restriction -- ;; please do not put this file at any public sites. All people who ;; want a copy can get one, but let's try to keep this potentially ;; dangerous package out of the hands of Evil People, ok? Pretty ;; please? Whether this really works is a different question, but at least I have not noticed anyone putting it on my.gnus.org. *g* Thomas
