How can we get all the spam deleted? I will be happy to delete spam if
given the means to do so.

You should blame inept Google groups for weak filtering not me :).
I am very occupied lately, so am unable to completely remove spam from group.
I apologise for the same.

I ll try to see if I can give you some power to control spam.

On the contrary, why are you banned?
Trying to get access for more spam? x(

perhaps I can help?

let me explained how these spam worked...

it is tied to the easy registration process....anyone can registers
and approve of themselves, and then submit a message to the
group....and immediately deregister themselves.

so effectively there is no trace of their record.....

and for any existing spam that have already been posted, u need to
submit it as a complaint to googlegroup, plus delete it yourself.
submitting to googlegroup is an extra steps, but beneficial for
yourself and others....as when the same person try to submit another
message....****hopefully***** it will be detected automatically by
googlegroup as spam....and will not get posted until u have approve of
it.....sometimes some posted spam end up this way for me....but then
again this was in the past....before i tightened the registration
process.

i used to received lots of spam....but now all my googlegroups have
not received a single spam for a long time.....i really missed
them!!!!!

i how to solve it?

just make sure that anyone who signed up....need to be approved by
administrator manually before they can post messages.....

of course there is risks....what if the spammer actually registers
themselves? so when u are approving...u have to search the background
of the registration email to make sure they don't post any nonsense in
the past.....
