wrote: I'm always ready for discussions about Shortwave radio, and all it's aspects. I would love to be more involved in this group as an on topic poster. I come by now and again, and to tell the truth, it's very hard to wade through the spam, the personal conflicts, the name calling, the childish behavior and the profanity used by a few of the contributors. But, If you guys are serious about getting back to the purpose of the group, the wonderful hobby of Shortwave Listening, count me in. I've been away for a while due to a lack of time to read the newsgroups, the result of various reasons. Now, I am starting to get caught up and have returned to find that the noise level does seem to have gone up in this NG since I last read it regularly, and I'm having to tweak my killfile a bit to compensate. Toward that end, may I make a constructive suggestion relative to wading through the spam, might I suggest that you grab an NNTP client rather than using Outlook for reading the newsgroups? These allow you to filter out unwanted posters using a variety of header fields. Now, many people create filters based on the From: field and killfile the poster by his/her/its e-mail address. The problem with that is that those addresses can be spoofed, and so people trying that approach often experience less than optimal results because spammers frequently change their posting addresses I've found that if you filter on the subject line contents, you have better results. Set up filters that trash anything that contains words such as - Nike, Paypal, ebay, wholesale, rolex and other frequently spammed brand names - in the subject line, and after a bit of tweaking you can get a good NNTP client to remove most of this garbage for you automatically, almost all of it in fact. Simply killfiling an e-mail address works for those times when you've decided that a regular poster who consistently posts from the same address just doesn't post anything worth reading. Sadly, I've killfiled a few individuals in some of the groups I'm subscribed to, but filtering on the subject line proves much more effective for those who want to peddle fake watches, sneakers, porn, or whatever. Just my $0.02 worth and here's hoping it helps. JK |

Unfortunately, filters set in the newsgroups don't work on e-mail. Therefore, this morning I received an e-mail reply from someone at panix.com (from which the rri/rrapm moderation team carries out its dirty work) concerning the FAQ for this newsgroup, and to which I composed a reply to the effect that apparently nobody in this group is interested in their group, its posting guidelines, or its moderation team. Somehow, I doubt that this will convince them to concern themselves with their own groups and leave ours alone, but at least I tried. JK |
