There is another possibility, which is to use another newsgroup.
Say,

Such a newsgroup can have a moderator that looks at each message
before posting, or perhaps looks at each poster before the first
posting to make sure it is a real person.
The fact that Matlab and other newsgroups look different is partly due
to the different sizes of the user community, and perhaps the fact
that the capabilities of Mathematica and other CAS are described in
such an open-ended fashion that it virtually invites criticisms that
sometimes amount to ill-informed and "unintentional trolls" if such a
thing can exist.

It looks like this is a case for some form of robomoderation,
or a substantially larger number of moderators.
