Apparently comp.arch, comp.lang.c++, and comp.lang.fortran are now read
only at google groups to stop the spam floods.

Same as comp.lang.c as has been mentioned elsewhere (<iMWdnVed06hwqtz4nZ2dnZfqn_GdnZ2d@brightview.co.uk> for example). Good. I wonder how that works. Was some algorithm at googlegroups triggered and automatically took the measure (or notified a human) or do they have some employee at Google regularly take a few minutes of their time once per several weeks to have a short look at googlegroups to see how things are working ? I will guess the latter because an algorithm would have acted much sooner.

Bad actors ruining legitimate experience because of a half-assed
solution, a tale as old as time.
