• Effective: NIN filters Google Groups

    From Spike@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 28 10:52:38 2023
    Since the recent crapflood of spam postings, the actions taken by Usenet providers to filter out postings via Google Groups has been highly
    effective.

    There have been no postings from that source at all arriving via NIN, for example, since the 24th, four days ago.

    Well done NIN! And doubtless other Usenet providers.

    Keep the rubbish off Usenet.

    Simon Mason put up six posts on the 24th, none of which got past the NIN servers. Mind you, another 50 spam posts didn’t make it either in that
    time. 😀

    Mind you, it carries a charge, which is a different problem.

    Ah, yes, but it is in the EU and the cost is in Eurocurrency, so given Mason’s attraction to all things EU it should be a slam dunk for him.

    Knowing his impressive coding skills, as exemplified by the famous

    news servers.

    I wonder if Google’s AI bot has got hold of Mason’s GG KF script somehow and in awe of how good it was, modified it to kill all of Google’s Usenet output?

    to
    A CHALLENGE over the length of the jail sentence handed to a Keighley drug driver who killed a nine-year-old boy in a hit-and-run has failed.

    It means that the eight-year sentence given to Luke Widdop, 51, after
    leaving George Lewis fatally injured in the 2021 crash in Sutton-in-Craven, will remain the same and not be increased.

    The boy’s father, Michael Lewis, and another child were also injured in the collision which happened as they were walking on the road at around 9pm on September 17, 2021.

    In October Widdop was jailed at Bradford Crown Court, but a bid was made earlier in November for the sentence to be reviewed under a scheme for sentences believed to be too lenient.

    The Attorney General has decided not to refer Widdop’s sentence to the
    Court of Appeal.

    During the original hearing, the court heard that dairy worker Widdop had smoked crack cocaine at some point before driving home in a work van,
    speeding at around 50mph, where the limit was 30mph.

    Mr Lewis was leading the two children and had illuminated his mobile phone torch to see the way, and when a vehicle approached, they moved closer to a stone wall on the lane, which had no pavement.

    Widdop admitted causing death by careless driving while unfit through
    drugs.

    I see the Mason crapflood has started again, it seems like his modus from
    12 years ago has turned into a monster, as he has now become the troll
    instead of the troll hunter:

    “My "job" is to purge urc of troll activity by depriving them of what
    they most crave - attention.
    If the trolls post excessively then so do I to remove their influence.

    And the posts you read by the likes of "Mr Benn", "J Nugent", "The
    Medway Handyman", "Mr Cheerful" and "Judith" are not meant to
    stimulate healthy debate, but are solely designed to stir up trouble,
    anti cycling rhetoric, provoke outrage when they mock dead cyclists
    and then decend into hateful personal attacks. And all because we
    enjoy cycling.

    If you wish to discuss cycling in a troll free environment then there
    is now uk.rec.cycling.moderated.

    Take care and thanks for your input.”

    It would be a forlorn hope to try uk.rec.cycling.moderated, as it is so troll-free it hasn’t had any posts at all for over a year, at the time of writing.
