Google [Groups] just ignore complaints.

Oh, no doubt, but someone has to do the ignoring and eventually
that will get old too. Just the energy needed to wade through
and delete the complaints will eventually take a toll
and I doubt Google will hang in there for the long haul.

Again: Google invest ZERO effort in this.
The current complaint system is completely automated
and has been unchanged FOR YEARS.

Your complaints to Google have NO useful effect.[1]
As soon as the automated system cancels an account,
the spammer will start using a new account.

If he doesn't have a bunch of accounts already,
he can use THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS HE'S BEEN USING
to open a new Google account.

GOOGLE DOESN'T CARE.

[1] In fact, they are **detrimental**
because when the spammer starts using a new identity
it just adds an addition burden to those filtering on usernames.


I'll bet if Google starts seeing anti Google web pages, something
will happen. They are out there !!


It took a while before people started using Google. I started telling people about
the search engine in 1999 saying it was the best when Hotbot was #1
and I liked Infoseek for searching companies.

These web pages can be embarassing looking at the Wayback machine.
Oh here is the first Google in 1998....
