Why can't the Virus posting be stopped

Hi
Just wondered why can't the virus infected posting can't be stopped on this
newsgroup. They are like a pain, purporting to be some sexual deviant act
or just plain porno. All they do is spam this newsgroup

Understand, that 'usenet', is unmoderated, and 'open to all'. Changing this,
would involve altering the basic structure of the system, and if the risk of
stopping something that is 'legitimate', is to be avoided, would have to
involve at some point 'human' intervention, and therefore cost. The first
answer is to stop it yourself. I have not seen the posting to which you
refer. The reason, is that I seperate 'binary' from 'non binary' groups, and
any message over a small size, or containing attachments, coming to a 'non
binary' group, is simply not accepted/downloaded. I also then have a fairly
massive group of 'keywords', and use a scanning system, that classifies
incoming posts, as 'acceptable', 'possibly non-desirable', and 'goodbye'.
Your own post went into 'possibly non-desirable', because of the words
'sexual deviant'. If the posters get no response at all, they will soon get
tired of posting. The problem is that they 'feed' in some cases on the anger
they create...
Get yourself some filters, and use them.

Best Wishes

Seems like its gotten so much worse just in the past couple of months...I'm
sick of it & rarely check for new posts anymore...

the volume of those posts is directly related to the stupidity of users
opening attachments in email from people the dont know.

99% of those messages are generated and posted without the owner of the
computer that did the posting ever knowing about it. So, you comentary is
more aptly directed at the highest level of ignorance and internet
illiteracy that the net has ever known.

Feel free to start a campaigne to educate the masses as to the dangers of
being stupid while on the internet. If you could figure out a way to make
money doing it, you would have a paying job for all of eternity.
