I'm going to jump in, even though you didn't ask me, to save you from
having to wait for the others.

This is Usenet and this is an UNMODERATED newsgroup: there is no
moderator to remove spam. We've discussed becoming a moderated newsgroup
on occasion but the majority always rejected the idea so it's probably a
waste of your time to propose it again.

In an unmoderated group like this, spam is endemic. Either get used to
it OR use a newsreader that has a killfile so that you can list all the
lunatics, cranks, and spammers that are completely off-topic in them so
that you don't see their posts. (I use the newsreader built into Mozilla
Thunderbird and it does allow for a killfile - although they call it
message rules - but there are several others available.) You'll probably
never get rid of ALL of the spam but you can get it down to a tolerable
volume. If you persist in using Google Groups, I think you'll find that
there's no way to stop the spam; I don't think they offer anything like
a killfile.

Not-Irish Mike could easily kill file any of these unwanted posts. The
authors don't seem to morph. He'd have to stop using Google Groups and
subscribe to a genuine News server and use a genuine newsreader. Google
Groups is the worst possible way to read Usenet given that kill filing
is limited to non-existent.

We cannot become a moderated newsgroup due to the decentralized nature
of Usenet. No one can force every News server out there to convert an
unmoderated group to a moderated group simultaneously. Moderated groups
are in addition to the unmoderated group.

But the problem that Google Groups users have with unwanted posts is
absolutely not a reason for moderation given that the solution is kill
filing.

Not-Irish Mike is stubborn. He could solve his own problem but won't be
told what to do.

Exactly right. In fact, if not-Irish Mike were to become a subscriber
on a genuine News server that has adequate spam countermeasures, he'd
see far less spam. Spam isn't countered one newsgroup at a time but
server-wide.

Google Groups is not known to have spam countermeasures. Hell, given the
Hews servers in Asia it peers with, it's a spam source for Usenet.

These are abusive posts. I suppose some of them could be cancellable
spam due to repetition but I don't know if it exceeds the threshold.

Firstly, the "jew spam" is coming from someone trying tio disrupt RAT.

Secondly, Google groups doesn't have the capacity to killfile messages
and reporting them as 'spam abuse' only hides the subject of the posting.

One of these days, I'm going to complain to the ISP...

I use an actual newsreader (not Google Groups) and 10 minutes spent setting up
a series of filters eliminates 99.9% of those spam posts. About once a month,
I see one or two of them because they've varied it just enough that it gets by
the filters, but that's barely an inconvenience.

A newsgroup user is expected to behave like an adult and make his own
decision about what subjects and authors to kill file.

Given that you acknowledge it's the easy thing to do, why don't you
become a subscriber on a genuine News server and use a decent newsreader
with flexible kill filing capabilities? You complain about it a lot more
often than not-Irish Mike does.

And can we also assume because you do sockpuppets you're sympathetic to
the plight of "Irish Mike"? Your sockpuppets are trash, so I don't
think "Irish Mike" is one of yours since he attempts to interject some
fake facts into the bullshit.

OMG, Usenet rules! Like anyone gives a shit in the 21st century. I'm
not up to speed on this anyway, what are the rules about posting
binaries again?

LOL. I really laughed out loud this time.

Usenet rules, oh how I long for the days when my dial up speed was 28k!!
Life was so much simpler then.

Mike may not be aware that he doesn't have to pay for access to real
News servers. For instance, I've been using Eternal September for years
and have never paid a nickel for it. Of course the free news servers
typically don't offer binaries so if he is looking for TV programs or
porn via binaries, he'll have to pay for a news server that provides that.

Does "Eternal September" allow you to kill File certain posters?
Because that's all I'm really looking for.

Will you please listen?

No, it does not. news.eternal-september.org is a News server. A News
server would implement spam countermeasures and possibly NoCeMs.

Kill filing and scoring are techniques utilized by the USER if the
newsreader he uses has those features. My newsreader trn4 offers both
kill filing and scoring. The newsreader is used from the linux command
ilne; it's not using a graphical interface.

I can kill file on any header, including the Path header.

Thunderbird has a graphical interface and there are versions for Windows
or a linux graphical environment. It has more limited kill filing ability,
likely limited to From and Subject, but others will have to tell you. I
have no idea if it offers scoring, but I assume it does.

In the Mac world, options are far more limited.

And how would you do that in those binary groups using long
hexadecimal strings as their title?

(I've been using Agent for years and think I know their killfiling
mechanism but haven't yet worked out a kill filter that works for me)

I don't think it does. However, I've got the guys he's complaining about
killfiled, either by name or by newsgroup, filtering out alt.politics
and the like.

I've ended up giving up on those newsgroups in a news reader like
Agent after they get flooded by those posts. If they just used a
single poster name then it would be fine but they end up using random
names on every post. However you can still get useful information out
of them by using a search engine that works on the unrar'ed files like
Easynews web server or some of the NZB search engines.

Not really.

There are MacOS newsreader apps. Plus if you really have to you can
run any Windoze or Linux app under virtualisation (VMWare Fusion is
free for individual use). Plus of course emulation for things like
AmigaOS newsreaders.

So technically "in the Mac world" there are actually *more* "options"
than in Windoze world where you can't run any Mac apps (at least not
legally).

I'm talking about flexible kill files and scoring techniques. If you
have a newsreader to recommend that does those things well, name it. I'm
happy to hear what it is.

So what? It's possible to run a virtual operating system environment on
a computer with these tools. That's not what we are discussing.
