Hi Mark, I say instead of moderating all groups, just make it to where all groups require subscription approval from an owner/moderator. This will make it easier on people who have lots of traffic

I wouldn't enforce any time frame. It'd either be after the set number of approved messages for NuM (if there is one specified), or by action of the moderator.
