Sorry, I don't appear to have been clear enough. Instead of
removing posts across 5+ groups, remove posts across 5+ _unmoderated_
groups. In other words, don't count moderated groups in the crossposting
total.

The latter idea would be a good one, yes; such messages aren't
causing as much problems.
