Would be nice but there is no mechanism for that in unmoderated groups.

We wish.

2 things at work he

1. Stupid people unable to contain their political fervor but
unable to carry on a rational political discussion on the political
boards.

2. Possible Russian trolls seeing the advantage of disrupting everything
civilized society engages in, including discussing home repair.

We all want it. Personally I k-f all posters that are never on topic
whether I agree with them or not. Just looking at the k-f log, there
must be 100 in there from the past couple of days. Unfortunately ahr is
the most active ng and attracts all the attention seeking kooks.

Maybe one should also consider that without some of the off topic
discussion the newsgroup might be like most of the others that have
totally died out. The main problem I see is not that there is off topic
discussion, but that just a few posters that create 90% of the off
topic THREADS. When there are trolls saturating with one new thread
after another, then when some new person shows up looking for AHR stuff,
they will likely figure it's not worth posting, because there is only
one AHR thread for 25 or whatever off topic ones.

Good luck with that. Let me know how it works out for you. If you
actually post a home repair subject, some of us will see it and
participate to help you. There are many great talents here with a
broad range of experiences.

The trolls here do not adhere to the intended concepts of Usenet. Kill
file them.

Your post is not about an actual home repair and thus would be banned.

Killfile or ignore the jerks.

You may reduce much of the clutter.

Thunderbird (you are using it):

select offending message.

clic the *Message* menu and
select *Create Filter From Message...*

in the box that opens:

give a name to the filter (example: Noise Filter)

clic "OK" to close the box.

at the bottom of the "Message Filters" list you
should find a "Run Now" button: click on it.

to close the list, click on the top-right corner "x".


To add the next offender, click on the unwanted message,
then clic on the *More* menu in the Text body and select
"View Source". Search for the "From:" field and
select/copy the string between "" and "" symbols.
(without the and ).

click on the *Tools* menu and
select *Message Filters*

select the filter you name (i.e. Noise Filter).
if it is the first time, it is the only name.

clic on *Edit*

in the "Match" field select the
"Match any of the following" button.

clic on the "+" button.

paste the copied string in the added row empty field.


You won't catch the morphers, but still get rid of
a large bunch of messages.

entertaining or useful to those we know here.

Even if they start with a fixit project they will drift off
about something else. That's the way of most conversations,
they stray.
I have something like 7 or 8 of the top 25 posters by quantity killfiled.
One gentleman has an odd sense of humor so he is still live. A couple
actually.
Thunderbird is really handy if a thread gets tooooooo long.

Considering some of the poasts from homeownershub, the trolls aren't too
bad. Then there is that dip**** who shall be nameless that posts a
seemingly innocent question and then will endlessly argue with any one
who tries to answer to demonstrate his obvious superiority.

I once worked with some people to set up a moderated group. It died from

I'll bet your k-f list is the same as mine and probably most others here.

It was only recently that I learned about TB filter log and turned it

Not a First Amendment change, but just common courtesy to keep political
stuff in political groups, religious stuff in religious groups, etc.
