NoCeM posts offer Message-IDs of spam articles, which are
categorized into advertisements, binary posts in non-binary
groups, multi-posts, etc.  What users need to do is to tell
gnus-nocem which posters are trustworthy and which categories
are useful.  I only thought that we will probably be able to use
those MIDs as a blacklist or equivalents.  Though it is just what
gnus-nocem does.

I've never thought about posting NoCeM messages by myself.  But
that's a good idea and seems to be possible since at least
alt.nocem.misc, fj.news.lists.filters, and news.lists.filters
are not moderated groups.  Moreover we can ask Lars to create
the gmane.nocem group when we have to.

Cancelmoose <http://www.cm.org/>, for example, describes it in
detail.

I don't know except cancelling.

There's no such function AFAIK.  Anyway I will necessarily add
"Ted" to `gnus-nocem-issuers' if you post nocem. ;-)
