Trash this Group, Google !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and the source of much of that spam is google.
Naw, other sources far out succeed google. In article , Rudy wrote: GOOGLE SPAMMERS ??!! say it isn't true ! I've sat in 2 Stanford PhD thesis defenses on google/link spam. I also moderate a comp.* group and have to hand filter all that spam. It all really depends what sources grab your email. I had Greek spam today (happens occasionally as well as Canadian spam). Korean and Chinese and Taiwanese spam is fairly common. I know the source of much of the Japanese spam from one trip a week in Tokyo as the hostel association. The South American countries are pretty middle of the road. At IJCAI, Telefonica in Spain was advertising for positions, and I gave serious consideration to scrawling "SPAMMERS" on thir job poster. Various Middle Eastern countries: Israeli to Saudi and Iran spam. Singapore is annoying which is quite a contrast to physical security there. But right now Russian spam has to seriously be watched. It's not merely their volume, but it's what they are doing. -- Looking for an H-912 (container). |

You can also use message filters to block certain senders and topics. You can block a lot of spam simply by filtering anything sent from gmail. Does Googlegroups have filters? Good question. I don't use Google. I just suffer from the spammers who do. Ivce assumed the OP used Googlegroups, else why the demand? Unless Google has filters, your advice, as good as it is, is pointless. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

Does Googlegroups have filters? In general, no. (You can do limited filtering by using Advanced Search.) James |

Trash yourself, OK ?
"Cognitus" a écrit dans le message de ... Google, this Group which used to be an interesting one for getting information and, in a question in my competence, I used to answer. But now I find that this has become nothing but TRASH full of advertisemtents for trips, tours, equipment, etc. So I shall not be back. I would like to see Google start a NEW group on REAL TRAVEL and get rid of the S**T in this group. |

Yeah, but even after filtering out all the junk, we've still got the basic problem that there's relatively little useful discussion these days. And that's true in many of the unmoderated newsgroups. Newsgroups are kind of a relic from the early days of the internet and most users are going elsewhere these days. And I'm speaking as an old-timer who remembers the days when spam was rare and many folks would actually put their real name in their posts; sometimes their signature lines would even have their address and phone number!

Maybe that's one of the reasons usenet still works over here? The existence of web-based discussion forums can't explain the decline in quality of the English speaking part outside "uk..." of usenet. I.e. not the local, but the more international groups. What happened? Jochen |

The existence of web-based discussion forums can't explain the decline in quality of the English speaking part outside "uk..." I think it's a factor. The spam & lack of civility in unmoderated groups has led people to go to moderated web forums instead. James |
