Is there something that can be done about the explicit pornography on the home page?

[Frank.metaweb20]

I can't open this Google Groups for Connectivism here at work because
it has explicit sexual content (text and images). What is going on
here?

I see what you mean. That is not something I have seen before in
Google Groups.

Can be something in the settings of this group (George / Stephen, is
there a 'adult' switch in the group settings?)
Can be something gone wrong on the Google side.

In any case, the 'group owner' is most likely the one to act.

there are spam pages and files that might attrackt the ads. Gross!

Hi - I've changed the settings and deleted the files. I don't normally visit the website of the group...only receive the emails. Sorry about that.

Ok - it's gone. We'll keep the list off of moderation (for comments, files can no longer be uploaded) for the time being...but if we start to get spam...I'll turn moderation on. I'll keep you posted.

A mí me acaba de aparecer creo que el mismo correo que mencionan,
ojalá desaparezca, ya que es una pena que las personas que estén
interesadas en Connectivism, se tomen una mala impresión con esto.
Saludos, por mí no se preocupen que se que no ha sido nadie de
nosotros.

Apparently someone has added a link to a porno page under the dekita link :-(
Warm regards,
