Managing the newsgroup infestation
A lot of people have been complaining about an individual who is forging
posts and trying to bring the group down. It's easy to filter out his posts in Thunderbird. See http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...ng_cross_posts This needs minor alteration for this purpose:- At stage 2, type into the box: Message-ID At stage 3, select Message-ID ... contains ... aioe.org I feel a bit bad about suggesting this, as the guy obviously needs the attention, but it would really be a shame if his obsession led to yet another group closing. |

Rather than playing whack-a-mole people could block posts from you that are not also from eternal-september. Not Organization: A noiseless patient Spider. Or you could use a valid email, get an anonymous one. |

I have the potty mouth version of GB killfiled like that. Just filter on "From" and his normal posting Nym, AND "Organization" does not contain "A noiseless patient Spider" (or you can use presence of the "X-Mozilla-News-Host" header on the genuine one). -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

The main purpose of my recommendation of E-S was as a suggestion for any non-troll posters who might like to have a more reputable News service than aioe to post with; one that doesn't get killfiled out of hand. It wasn't intended for anyone who already uses a decent service. As it happens, I switched from NIN to E-S when NIN started charging for access; NIN is a good service, there's no doubt about that. OTOH I find that free E-S is generally just as good, for my usage case at least. -- ^Ï^ My pet rock Gordon just is. |

Add another filter line under the Message-ID line by clicking on the + symbol Select 'From', select 'does not contain', write in the third box the From identity of someone whose aioe posts you want to see, Click OK. You can add more From lines as necessary. This will filter all aioe posts bar those you want to see. -- Spike |
