Arg! Re: Spammers

[jadestorm]

Hi folk,

I'm trying to keep the group clean from the spammers but that doesn't
prevent people viewing it as a mailing list from having to deal with
it. I've been reporting and banning and doing whatever I can. I'll
see if there's a way to contact google about it if it keeps up too
much.

Can't you setup some basic rule filters at least?
Cause even simple wordlist would cut most of these out.
These guys aren't even trying to disguise them.

Not that I've seen. The management tools are kind of limited...

Crap.. I went hunting for information on spam controls for google groups
and all I'm finding is reports of the service sucking, being overwhelmed
with spam, and that it looks like google has 'given up' on the service.
=( Not positive.

I see there is still a sourceforge project for joscar -- I'm just
throwing this out there as an idea but do you think maybe we should
consider bringing joscar back to sourceforge? Using the forums or
mailing lists there? I know they suck.. I dislike them.. but I've never
seen spam on them.

One of the more detailed articles I found:

I'm attempting to stick it out with Google Groups btw. I've enabled
moderation of people joining the group and of posts from new
members... sucks that I have to put people through all that but even
if I can keep the group clean, folk are still getting emails so ...
=/
