Anyone know how to blackhole or banish these people posting crap to this newgroup? My take on it ... if it ain't about cars (volvo) then they should not be posting here and clogging up the newsgroup ...
thoughts?
learn how to set up and use a killfile

Message filters are easy ... this is not the issue ... it's the people posting crap to the group that they shouldn't be ... when there are too many inappropriate postings then people may percieve this group as a political group rather than a volvo group ... I've seen a lot of good groups go bad and stop being used due to spamming like this.

I agree, but idiots like this are not going to stop because they are so self-important. These threads have been persistent for a couple of years, I am not sure which jerkoff starts them but they're perpetuated quite enthusiastically.
Check to see if your newsreader will kill by thread; if not, then killfile the authors. If that doesn't work, get a different newsreader that does have these abilities.
Well, this really isn't spam per se. The only real option to stop inappropriate posting is creating a moderated group. Otherwise, Usenet is as free as air- you can't stop people from farting into your air space unfortunately.
Another option is to start responding to posts in the inappropriate threads and removing this newsgroup from the headers.
Lots of Volvo advice from users and Volvo engineers at vvspy.com and Swedish engineering-Volvo Links.url.
Have tried sending the URL's as attachments but no-one seems to want to open them, fear of virus I expect. Regards, Brian.
From a point at sea, to the circles of your mind, this is brian:
That's because you clearly don't understand what a Newsgroup is, or how to post to one.
I blame this:
You can send the URLs to me as attachments please Brian. I will have a use for them.
Cheers, Peter.
