There is a bunch of spam in this newsgroop. Does anybody works to
eliminate this crap?

Newsgroups generally are not moderated (the only exceptions are the ones
whose name end in .m).
Also, I rarely see any spam in this group. I don't know why you do.
But there's really not much of a problem here, since I rarely see any
serious messages in this group either.

Strange, I saw several spam topics here. And you're right, there is
really not too much serious topics here, but spams are iritating,
because I think there is something important, and when I visit
newsgroup, I see spam. :(

That's because you use Google Groups. They don't do spam-filtering. Some
ISP's secretly provide newsgroup access via servers named like
news.ispname.tld.

In addition to that, there are free-registration newsservers that also
filter spam, like news.eternal-september.org (the one I'm using to post
this message, in fact.)

(Sheesh, it's been a long time since I posted anything here... but I
still do monitor this group!)
