  • OT: Ask Big-8 to block Google Spam

    From Wanderer@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 4 10:41:57 2023
    The spam is out of hand.
    Contact the Usenet Big-8 management and ask them to block
    google-groups from posting to the Big-8 Usenet hierarchies.
    It is the only way to get Google to do anything.
    We need the Big-8 to act as an advocate for its usenet users.

    The big-8 manage the hierarchies, not the posting of messages to
    them. They don't have a way to regulate what gets posted to the
    groups, that's left to server admins, or clients themselves.

    Just use a server that filters out spam.

    Unfortunately, that's not their job.

    kill file post originating from googlegroups.
    Alternately, make all posters with a gmail address as "read".
    You're going to get some false positives, but ...
