Displaying it would have little performance impact, but I don't really
think that this is information that's all that interesting to have in
that context. It would just clutter the display up, especially on
private news servers where many (or most) groups are moderated, which is
somewhat popular.

The amount of clutter depends on how the status is displayed; I don't think
a single 'm' between the number of articles and the colon would be too
distracting to anyone. But even if you don't want to do that by default,
could you at least make it a user option? Gnus generally allows the
customization of almost everything, so the few exceptions like the browse
buffer line format seem all the more annoying.

The server-browse buffer commonly (if you point it to any of the big
news servers) inserts tens (or hundreds) of thousands of lines.
Allowing this to be customisable with the normal gnus-*-format-line
mechanism would make this unbearably slow.

I don't doubt that, but I wasn't asking for a format-line variable. (That
would be pointless; I can't imagine anyone seriously wanting to disable any
of the information already shown, and there's no easily available extra data
except for the moderation status.) I just want a simple boolean variable
that chooses between "show moderation status" and "don't show moderation
status".

Sorry; I don't think it's worth it.

When browsing a foreign nntp server, gnus doesn't show the moderation status
of groups. I think this should be changed, because knowing if a group is
moderated is useful, and as the status flag is unavoidably part of a group's
line in the active file, showing it should have only a negligible impact on
performance.
