I''ve made several reports in particular users and and complains to Google. Nothing has been done. I''ve never moderated a public Google group, so I''m not sure what powers the moderators have to resolve these problems. Perhaps you could let us know. The spam (until very recently) has always from from the same users: - CANE20043 ANAMIKA - Moona Naeem - Planet Jobs I wish posting used a CAPTCHA, or that the moderators would clean up the spam. It would also be great is the same user got reported as a spammer that they would *automatically* have posting restrictions.

Presumably, you have it set so that only members can post (and view content), correct? Also suggest you add the offenders to the "banned" list: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/manage_members?view=ban&sort=email On 9/14/07, Diodeus <diodeus-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > I''ve made several reports in particular users and and complains to > Google.

I''m glad to know it CAN be done. Why isn''t ANYONE doing it? Perhaps this group needs a few more managers.
