It is a fun mental exercise to stay one step ahead of the dirtbags and it
takes me a mere 20 seconds to add a filter term. For example, one of my oldest
filter terms is "Viagra", another that I added just today is "paypal accept".

You'll be forever playing catchup with that strategy.

You might consider a filter based on the first two or three fields of
the posters' IP addresses. That way the content can change, but you
still filter it.

Perhaps the time to consider amending the newsgroup charter to
specifically exclude off-topic spam advertising.

How would that be enforced?

The Acceptable Use Policy of some anonymous news providers (notably
Altopia alt.net include their intent to discipline the users who post
articles to newsgroups that are contrary to the newsgroup charter.

If that works, could we also update the charter to exclude any
posts that I'm not interested in? That would make it much
easier for me.

To have the newsgroup charter amended to contain such language would
require a majority vote.



I vote Larry out.

Thanks everyone I'll start doing what was recommended.. For sport,
those of you that are filtered.....sign on through Google and you'll
see what started my mornings wrath.

Thanks for a serious answer to both parts.

Larry's post is off-topic, so I've asked his service provider to close
his account. It should be done by COB Monday.


Excellent. Usenet will be safe once again.

Like I say, I am no expert. How do you do that with OE?

First, I'm not an MSOE user, so I'm not able to assist you with the
specifics of configuring that news reader. I use Fofte Agent:
http://forteinc.com

You'll find that GoogleGroups provides the IP address of the GG user
who posted the offending article(s) in the 'NNTP-Posting-Host:'
header. Here's an example:

NNTP-Posting-Host: 218.65.123.140

I would examine the message headers of the spam from China being
injected into Usenet from GoogleGroups, and base my filter on the IP
address portion of that header field: 218.65.123.140

Perhaps someone who uses MSOE can assist you with the specifics.
