It's a nightmare, and Google Groups doesn't let you reclaim the space making r-rc impossible to read. I think it might be time for me to step away.

This may be the final nail for rrc :(

I think it is. As I type this the first six pages on r.r-c, as viewed through Google Groups, are 100% spam.

I'm giving up. I've just taken this page out of my daily bookmarks.

Hope to see you all on a coaster somewhere.

Odd. I'm not seeing this spam. I'm reading news with Thunderbird
using Eternal-september.org as the newsgroup server. (It's free, btw)

I use google groups for rrc as well (and have been since aol stopped supporting newsgroups over a decade ago). I keep reporting each of the spam as spam, the lines are still there but said the thread is hidden. I guess yours is filtering it out.

What's worse is that reporting only seems to hide it on the machine you're using. I flip between two computers, and the abusive topics are only hidden on one of them.

Same, except with GNUS rather than Thunderbird.

Bit of spam (like 5 articles) a few days ago but given what few remain
have likely been mostly Google Groups, it looks not good.

Also every time I post or respond, google checks to make sure I’m not a robot…. So these other spam posts shouldn’t be getting through…

Plus the fact that I posted a bunch of on topic subjects the same day I posted this thread, and this is the only one that got any responses other than one in the Cedar Fair/Six Flags merger topic.

I miss old RRC :(

Sort-of same here. I don't stop in daily anymore, but in rtin, also from eternal-september, there were something like four spam threads at the
bottom of the list; I just (K)illed them all and went about my business.

What's probably happening is that when someone reports the spam on Google, Google might be sending a cancel message that is causing e-s to drop the offending message.
