Same on sci.crypt and sci.lang.japan

I modify my nocem (bot: nocembot on news.lists.filters )
to protect "fr", "comp" and "sci" hierarchy.
The bot track "spam" and "flood" every five minutes.
It track also est-asian spam.

You can use these nocem on your server to make yours
groups more redeable.

Is it a coincidence that it stopped here in CLC several
hours after I logged in to Google Gropus and reported some
fourty Thai articles as SPAM?

Probably. Ray (who runs Eternal September) is aware of the issue and is
continually (or so I imagine) updating his filters.

I have another feed and, using that alternate view, comp.lang.c has had
2407 posts in the last day.

That is mass-market amounts. I recommend the you notify

Probably - I have routinely reported all spam I saw while logged into Google Groups for many years now, I doubt that my reports had any effects other than on my own GG account. When I accidentally used GG without being logged in, all of the spam I'd previously reported was fully visible.
The surge in messages offering illegal merchandise finally overwhelmed me, so I no longer bother reporting them.

We need a whitelisting solution, at the federation level.

That is to say, servers like Eternal September should reject all
articles from Google Groups, except from users who are whitelisted.

Usenet could get together and provide a registration service whereby
Google Groups users can register their account for whitelisting.
Those who don't are effectively shadow banned by default, confined
to the Google Groups echo chamber.

Obviously, that registration system would have to be better run than
Google's own account registration, which is the point. Google sets such
a low bar that effort would be needed to bend down that far to do
an equally bad job.

One technical difficulty is that, in the article headers, Google Groups
accounts are identified by an anonymized account ID string. Users don't
know what that string is, and there might not be any way to get it other
than sending an article to another server and getting the headers from
there. (Perhaps GG lets you view the raw article, with headers, if it's
your own).

Maybe the "whitelist" is simply "those users who don't use
google-groups"? :)

That would probably be more trouble than it's worth. At least in non-tech
groups, many (most?) GG users don't even know they are using usenet. I've
had threats to one of my sites (web usenet interface) that if I don't stop
scraping google groups for content, they would contact Google (lol)

First you would need to explain what is Usenet, before even trying to get
them to care about their posts showing up anywhere else.

That may not seem like a big deal, but you would be messing up non-tech groups
for non GG users, as they would no longer see most of their recipes, or discussion
of boats or whatever, making their favourite groups much less useful for them.

Some statistics:
It started Aug 25 and by now there are ~4800 spam topics out of 155609 total topics.
So, it's still only 3%, but they are improving. What initially took a month now
takes a week.

If a GG user manages to find a technical group that hasn't been flooded
with spam, then they'd wonder why an otherwise active group is
completely ignoring them. I don't think whitelisting would be fair.

If you google "What is usenet", the top results are basically "It's
better than bittorrent but you'll need to pay for a news-server that
carrys binaries and has a long retention".

I seems most magazine authors don't know what usenet is either.

It appears that if enough people using the google groups interface
complain about spam in comp.lang.c, they'll fix it. That worked for
comp.arch, it appears.

No, that was a comment from a user during the Thaidal wave referring to
