    Anybody with admin privileges able to ban Marry Najar, Vigdis Rupard, and Easter Rumley? They've been spamming download links for the past couple months. Likely bot accounts.

    That's not really true. All of the SPAM is coming from Google Groups.
    The admins for the machines providing connections to Google should pull
    the plug. That's how USENET works.

    You must be new to usenet. Again, there are no admins here. There are no moderators here. Spam has been coming from Google Groups for many years.
    Your spam is someone elserCOs free speech.

    Filter it out on your end. Or just ignore it. No one at Google is going
    to rCLpull the plugrCY on anything just because you are offended. It would take millions of complaints to Google, and there just arenrCOt that many
    people reading this stuff these days.

    IOW, just get over it. Tell Thunderbird to ignore/delete anything coming
    from Google Groups. Problem solved.

    Also, you need to understand that this stuff comes and goes. The people spamming here are also new to usenet. They think that millions of people
    will see this stuff and it will help their business. The fact is that
    there are very few people on the planet who know that usenet even exists. Plus, most regulars with experience are already ignoring everything that
    comes from Google Groups.

    Plus, this group is basically dead anyway. The result is that maybe 10
    people are seeing this shit. So after a few weeks the spammers go away.

    New? I have been on USENET since the days it ran over POTS.

    Again, there are no admins here.

    Of course there are admins. Who do you think runs the servers?

    There are no moderators here. Spam has been coming from Google Groups for many years. Your spam is someone elserCOs free speech.

    Free speech has nothing to do with it.

    It's not Google who should pull the plug. It's the servers who provide
    Google with a connection to USENET. I admined a major USENET site for
    over 20 years (Top 20 for many of them). There have always been rules.
    And one of them was the admins responsibility to not allow SPAM coming
    from their site.
