In a word, no. This being UseNet, you either need good newsreader
filters or a thick skin, or preferably both. The generally anarchic
underpinnings of UseNet are such that attempts to moderate or censor
these forums is interpreted as damage and get routed around.

If you're reading RAS with Google, they have made it generally easier
to report spam. Just click on the "Report Spam" link at the bottom of
the window. It now takes fewer clicks to report spam and then get back
to what you were doing.
