    I have switched to www.i2pn2.org for comp.lang.fortran using the Agent
    v8.0 newsreader. Seems to be working ok for now.

    I wish google groups would delete all the obvious spam in the Thai
    language as well as making the group read only.

    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.

    The depeering of Google Groups will be the ultimate act of mercy!

    Looking at some of the GSpam, I just noticed that GG helpfully adds a
    header indicating the spammer's IP, perhaps someone with copies of the
    GSpam from recent weeks can see if there is a pattern that can be used
    for filtering more specific than just blocking GG.

    Enjoy
