USENET is becoming increasingly flooded by spam.
The spam detection algorithm works quite well. However, I feel that I Have test to try 23 to 27, seemingly legitimate files proper naming conventions seem to be from legitimate posters. However, they all turn out to be fraudulent in some way
my question is, should I accept the fact that this is the final days of binary USENET is there something we can deal with the community to filter out all this spam maybe include a number of social features into the search engine
such as this is what it says it is
failing that, I will just have to accept that USENET binary content is simply becoming less and less relevant
Thanks for all the that you have both,Done as well as the community have done
keep up the good work

I'm not having any issue. I mean I see what you see too but, it's not really spam. It's files that target a specific subset of people and you and I simply aren't in that group.

I'm adding some things to 6.6 to try to find out what's in these files but, there's no guarantee that it'll work.
