If you are talking about Google Groups, you will note
that there is nothing there but garbage that has blown
up against the fence. Remember that Google is NOT
Usenet.

What makes you think you can "post" to r.v.p?
I use one of the largest news services on the planet
(Supernews) and r.v.p has *no* postings in it, including
yours. Doesn't mean anything if you can post to your
own news server. If nobody propogates it, you might
as well save your time and effort.

There is no evidence that it is not still "moderated"
and the moderation has been extinct for several
years now. Even when the moderation was "working",
it was so slow that the newsgroup was effectively
worthless. Only 2-3% of the messages were generating
any responses.
