Great! Now enjoy usenet, with less fat from spam.

They might not have so many search problems
if they actually removed the spam before archiving the messages.

Complete nonsense.

Google Groups **used** to allow posters to remove
*their own* posts. That capability disappeared long ago.
Other than that, Google has NEVER *removed* posts.

but are either too lazy or too stupid to clean up their nest
by clicking on 'Report This'.

You have to be really stupid to waste your time doing it.

It's a completely meaningless act.
Abuse reports to Google have ZERO real impact.
The abusers just get/use another Google account.

If you want to have ANY impact, complain to the offender's ISP.
If he is in Red China, don't even bother;
the whole country is a bunch of criminals.

Lately, abuse reports to ISPs in India bounce as well.
The addresses in their sites' data is now crap.

There is some Google Groups pretence about
reports regarding "intellectual property" abuse
and/or illegal activity--but it's a sham;
I have NEVER seen **anything** removed for ANY reason;
once something is posted to Google Groups, it's permanent.

GOOGLE DOESN'T CARE.

Really? I removed some forged posts recently.
