Bots posting drug and auto parts deals? For years, this was my favorite forum on the internet. I feel like the native American guy in that old commercial, looking at the pile of trash with a tear in his eye.
At least I still have my first RNC. A forlorn reminder of a more civilized galaxy.

PeteI guess somebody could set up something like 'rec.audio.pro.moderated'
.... if willing to do the filtering work (if it couldn't be automated).

Once I got the filters set up on my news reader and google, It's been less of a PITA, but still not what most newsgroups used to be. Guess I could set up a FB closed group or use one of the Meetup or something else. Does that sound enticing at all?
If you search FB, you will find a few groups that may suit your needs,
such as this one:-
https://www.facebook.com/groups/RecordingMixing
Or you could join or set up a Mastodon server.

Couldn't agree more. I belong to numerous FB groups including Moog, Sequential, Fender, Gibson, Epiphone and numerous piano tuning and music groups.
Many of my customers message me to make piano tuning/repair appointments.
It is what you make of it.

Of course you would blame me!
Just because I disagree with certain recent production values in recorded sound
means that I'm the problem!
No: The issue I take with the "social" platforms is the junk that gets posted up
on what you see every day - your "feed". And some many people fall for it, and it influences their views, their politics, and how they vote. How do you think the 1/6/2021 'visit' to the Capitol was organized? 80 percent on social
platforms!
I would rather interact with others about common topics in UseNet groups dedicated to those topics, or, on moderated subject-specific forums, than
go on social sites and have to see posts that make my blood boil, on the
way to dedicated groups or pages.

So in essence some of you see the fading relevance of UseNet, or moderated forum
membership decline, and flocking to social media sites as "progress"?
I might have disagreed with some here regarding the digital era loudness issue,
but I disagree even more so about this situation.
No problem. You create and moderate rec.audio.pro.moderated and USENET___________________

I 'vote' to conduct the discussion of audio in newsgroups like this, and in moderated forums
such as GearSpace(nee -'Slutz') or HeadFi. And to conduct shop talk on rec.autos.tech,
the aformentioned Automotive Forums, and manufacturer specific fourms, e.g. 'DriveAccord'
for Hondas, etc.

But all that spam that you are seeing is being injected through Google Groups, as always... and if you get off Google and onto a legit mail server that filters properly, you will see much less of it, if any at all.
Not that there is much legitimate stuff being posted.

How many years have you been active in this newsgroup?
HINT: rather RHETORIC question!!!
It should be long enough, that you should know, what "RNC" stands for in this group´s context: *Really Nice Compressor*
HINT 2 - especially for you, Chris K-Man:________
only and simply mentinoning a compressor device or using it does NOT
mean, that anybody is propagating ANY kind of "OVER compression" !!!
Please, leave your hobbyhorse, whereever it is. Thank you!
Thanks, but I will wait for SCOTT DORSEY himself
to explain what RNC stands for. A less pedantic user
for sure.
Nowhere did I say that I was completely "anti-dynamic-
compression". I am against the OVERUSE of said
compressors and limiters during the last twenty or
so years.
And just like that RAP is back to its old prickly self!

Or just look up the product in question on the company´s website, before "SCOTT DORSEY himself" finds time to do that.
https://fmraudio.com/rnc.html
The URL is as clean and direct as possible. In case, you choose to not
trust, that it´s clean and harmless -> copy the URL above and let
VirusTotal do a scan https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/url
Another option is to do a search with your preferred web search site for
"rnc compressor", which should show the company´s product page linked
above, as well.
