Spamming Aholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read these messages via the Google home page....What do you have to
do, or how can I mark them all read or deleted so I do not have to see
this crap? Luckily my piloting skills are better than my computer
skills.... They have bombed this group too much I say!!!!

You may be able to get some relief (but not perfect) by using
a newsreader and a news service provider:

I was very happy with the spam filtering that Supernews used
to do. Now that Supernews has been sold to Giganews, it
**SEEMS** to me that I'm seeing more spam than I used to.

I'm not willing to testify to the change in court and I
have no hard data to back it up.

Policies vary from one news service to the next, I believe,
about how vigorously they filter spam before delivering
the news. There is a server-side filter called Cleanfeed:

The author used to work for Supernews. I believe he
is now on sabbatical after the sale of Supernews to
Giganews.

As it turns out, the majority of the spam is coming from google users.

google has never replied to any of my complaints, nor do the appear to be
doing anything to reduce this spam.

You should find another provider. I'm hoping my ISP will simply block all
google messages.

Huh? Why would you want that?

Send a complaint he . Responsible netizen
that they are, Google will promptly enforce their Terms Of Use policy.

Perhaps the time to consider amending the newsgroup charter to
specifically exclude off-topic spam advertising.

How would that be enforced? If that works, could we also update the charter
to exclude any posts that I'm not interested in? That would make it much
easier for me.

Right there is your problem! Google should be your last choice for reading
Usenet posts.

I am also no computer wizzzzard, but I simply use my ISP's news service
(Worldnet has a good news service) with the Outlook Express program that my
computer came equipped with, and write my own filters. Blocking individual
posters is trivial, but some spammers use a different address with each post, so
you simply look for terms that few (if any) legitimate posts will have in the
subject line, and tell Outlook Express to hide those posts.

It is a fun mental exercise to stay one step ahead of the dirtbags and it
takes me a mere 20 seconds to add a filter term. For example, one of my oldest
filter terms is "Viagra", another that I added just today is "paypal accept".

The Acceptable Use Policy of some anonymous news providers (notably
Altopia alt.net include their intent to discipline the users who post
articles to newsgroups that are contrary to the newsgroup charter.

If that works, could we also update the charter to exclude any
posts that I'm not interested in? That would make it much
easier for me.

To have the newsgroup charter amended to contain such language would
require a majority vote.
