discussion: should comp.dcom.cell-relay be moderated?

there are one, or likely more than one, pranksters roaming around
internet newsgroups and flooding them with forged posts.  the number
of such posts literally reaches into the thousands in some newsgroups.
granted there have been the occasional promotion of adult oriented
services in this newsgroup but the number of such posts has been small
enough as to not be a problem.  however, in this case it appears that 
pranksters are trying to bring down this newsgroup by forging posts
and cancelling posts from other which is causing me to raise the issue 
for discussion here as to whether we should make this newsgroup a 
moderated one.

comments?  suggestions as to how/whether this should be brought to a
vote and implemented?
