This newsgroup is about CATS!
Almost half the posts in rec.pets.cats.anecdotes are spam written by people
with no interest in cats. But that's what happens in an unmoderated group - the idiots take over. |

That's what killfiles were designed for. You don't have to see that crap. Filter it out. If I see spam or trolls, they go right into the bozo bin. It's quick, easy and painless. Use a newsreader with killfile/filtering capability. Learn how to use it. You don't have to see that stuff. I sure don't. Moderated? No thanks. IMHO with moderated groups, the moderator usually turns out to be a petty tyrant. I'll decide for myself which posts to k/f and which posts/posters to read/reply to, thanks. It's really very simple.

I wonder if robert is a troll with the last name CATT?? I've seen the name before but not in long while. Suddenly pops up again talking about all the spam. What? i dont see much spam i guess if its here i killed it off (with goofy) LOL Jill |

I just don't understand the sudden tizzy about spam (or trolls). I very rarely see the sort of posts you're talking about. I filter that sort of garbage out.

I still prefer my newsgroups unmoderated. It's easy enough to skip over the morons (kill-filing only works when they don't keep changing names on you) and I don't want someone else deciding what I should and should not read. |

Nymshifting is easy enough to deal with. It's easy enough to recognize spammers. Trolls frequently cross-post to very unrelated groups. Killfile them all. It's pretty simple and virtually painless.
