Unfortunately, Yahoo has stripped away much of the moderating capability that group moderators used to have. I previously was to be able to set a member to moderated, unmoderated, or no-posting.  Now it’s just no-posting or completely unmoderated — nothing in between.  That limits my options a lot in flame wars, so I hope people about to flame each other keep in mind that I’m old, grumpy, and impatient. :)
