Sure can. Report it to google (which is the source of the spam). If enough people report it, google will make the group read-only.

Sucks for people who post through google, but they can always use
eternal september.

Any tips on how to report it to google groups ?

I haven't done it myself, but folks on comp.lang.c were
successful. I suspect you need to read the message using
google groups (rather than using a NNPT client) and there
will likely be a report spam button somewhere to push.

I just spent 10 minutes looking for any sort of google groups
reporting page - to no avail - they only seem interested in
criminal behaviour or child abuse or porn ..
The info that I could find just sends one around & around to
the same useless pages.

Google Groups do not do anything about the spam generated from their
users, as it really does not affect the bottom line of Google.
