But the solution you want seems to be difficult to implement, as
ShengHuo says.

You might get closer to what you want by using topic subscriptions:
create a topic for nnslashdot and arrange all new nnslashdot groups to
be subscribed under that topic.  Then you can open or close the topic
in the *Group* buffer and it will not be as visually disturbing.
