> It worked to some extent on NNTP

And arguably not, because a huge number of NNTP servers were in fact, moderated. Especially as spam and warez started to appear on servers owned by public institutions (universities and the like), a huge chunk of USENET split into the alt.* unmoderated groups, and the other, centrally moderated groups.

alt.* would be the 'some extent' to which it worked. I don't have time for any more of this relentless contrarianism, enjoy your day. Or don't.
