I wasn't trying to shift the subject, I was saying that if we did it for email then we should get the act togehter and do it with Usenet if you want to revive Usenet. It's signal-to-noise turned me off it a few years back and by all accounts its got no better.
the signal / noise ration is very good if you speak of real spam. else, like on the opensuse list, some thread may go far from the original subject, but it's iften like this than you get the betters infos...
There is little spam proper, but there are many trolls, depending on which newsgroup. But there are many trolls, some of them are a nuisance - and as the from address is faked anytime, you can not filter on it. Even if the admin at one server blocks someone from posting, he then goes to another server and starts posting again. There was one that posted thousand of random generated trash per hour. This time the admin acted when we emailed him, but then he appeared on another group, changing the patterns so that killfilling him became impossible.
Nobody is going to develop anything for usenet... It is dying.
may be not :-), I work with the french usenet team
IMHO it lacks mostly good tutorials (And I lack the time to make them :-()
and, of course a neat android client would be a must
It is not dead yet, I participate there, but it is dying. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
