news.admin.net-abuse.announce is indeed moderated--primarily for
announcements of administrative actions taken against net abuse--while
news.admin.net-abuse.misc serves more as a discussion forum--and as a
newsgroup where one can make followups or public replies to or comment on
announcements made in news.admin.net-abuse.announce .

If you encounter a spam--and you think it needs to come to others' 
attention--read news.admin.net-abuse.announce, and
news.admin.net-abuse.misc--and if there is something you feel
missing--make your post(s) to news.admin.net-abuse.misc .

[Please make any followups to news.admin.net-abuse.misc .]
