  • OT: Ask Big-8 to block Google

    From Wanderer@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 3 12:08:54 2023
    The spam is out of hand.
    Contact the Usenet Big-8 management and ask them to block
    google-groups from posting to the Big-8 Usenet hierarchies.
    It is the only way to get Google to do anything. This may be
    an inconvenience to some but there are other ways of connecting
    to usenet for serious users. If Google responds to the Big-8
    managements satisfaction, it can be reinstated. We need the
    Big-8 to act as an advocate for its usenet users.

    I've (hopefully) temporarily blocked any post that has a GMail address
    in the "From:" field.
    It's the only way I found to kill the clutter.
