some old sh**, different day

Well some things never change. This newsgroup specializes in racial posts,
circular political arguments, namecalling, and slander. I have kill filed a
great many members of the group, but the trolls either change their names or
new ones just come and stay a while. Perhaps this group should be re-titled
"alt. perventsandtrolls" and that way there is no pretense of an interest in
,umm I forgot - oh yes! Photography.....

This is an exceptional group. No other group I monitor stoops to such a
level of name calling and degredation. Today was as bad as it gets. You've
driven me over the edge - I'm going to quit after a couple of years because
this group really has become a desert. Enjoy standing on your soapboxes the
corner of the internet - you can't see that nobody's listening. We just
move on. There's no life here worth saving. Bye.

There do seem to be a lot of posts about trolls lately. I don't see the posts they're complaining
about because I, like a lot of others, filter the trolls out.
It would be nice if people like you would just do the same instead of filling the group with
complaints about posts we can't see.

Agree! but it will not get fixed until admin and the power elite want it
fixed

Here are 2 threads where admin discuss what we've been hashing through here
during the past year. I recommend that all with an interest in making Usenet a
better place, read them, even participate with your user experience.

The idea I've been really high on the past months, is Lionel's suggestion of
news servers marking anons in the subject title, so users have a choice and can
filter ALL anon with one click. Gone forever! OH MY what an incredibly easy
solution Lionel! certainly would take the gas out of the vehicle.

Try "human nature" and you might be more accurate.

You're mistaken. It is not the "group".

The annoying posts I see are all the ones with totally OT headings (eg the
current "******" series), and then there are the porno titled ones that have
a virus attached. If you filter them out, would you mind letting me know
what newsgroup reader you use, and what filter rules you apply. The trouble
is, even if it is one person, the posts are coming from different fake email
addresses, so I can't see a way of the computer determining if it is real or
garbage.
It would be nice if people like you would just do the same instead of
filling the group with

Must have been the same person who gave me the name Steve AND a lisp
