You could start by looking up

      gnus-large-newsgroup

Then group parameters.

e.g I have

(setq gnus-large-newsgroup 100);

If you wanted no confirmation then

(setq gnus-large-newsgroup nil)


(ps, I have gnus setup to auto snip signatures on reply : your signature
separator should be "-- " if you want it standard, you have it as "--").
