You can always use the trick used to post into moderated alt.hackers. You don't need a server to manage approvals of your own postings.

Is that the same trick alt.sysadmin.recovery used to use?

Probably. Usenet moderation works on the honor system. There is no standard for verifying who gave an approval and you can usually do it yourself.
