Newsgroup Porn Posts - Ideas on how to stop?
Unless it's just my imagination are we all of a sudden getting a lot more
porn postings in this (and other groups)? Has anyone found any effective tools that stop it getting displayed at our end? Cheers, CC |

Good luck trying to stop the porn and spam posts in newsgroups... You can ignore them or set up filters in your news reader to try to hide or delete them. |

Use an ISP that does a better job of filtering them. I haven't seen one in this newsgroup in months. Of course, barring that, the other reply has useful suggestions as well. Depending on what you don't like about the porn spam, you may want to consider using a newsreader that gives you the option of not interpreting the HTML. At least that way, you won't have to deal with inline pictures. Pete |

The ones I've seen lately all seem to be something about the Simpsons, so I set up a filter in Netscape that deletes any post with "Simpson" in the title. Haven't seen one since.

Thanks folks - I've added a few choice words to the filter and that seems to
have cut back 90% of them. Someone must be doing a good job of filtering - with my ISP it seems like about 1 out of 3 are porn related. |
