I have reported all this crap on google groups. I join groups to learn and talk to others. Guess what.........I looked for a very long time for a group that does not waste my time! Your group or whoever started this better clean it up! Like I said all these groups will be shut down! Im tired of this shit!!!!
"Shut down" by whom? This is a usenet group. Google/groups is only a public archive, and has no control whatever over the existence, or content, of usenet groups. Of course, if you haven't realised that yet, you have indeed been wasting your own time on "these groups" (whatever they are).
Good for you! Did they openly ridicule you, or just ignore your "report".
Somebody needs to calm down, take a chill-pill, and understand the reality of what usenet is. There is no "shut down". Can't be done without shutting down the internet itself -- and even then we'd find a way to keep it going.
I've been actively participating in usenet since 1987 (close to 2 decades now). I see no indication of anything in the NNTP family of protocols that allows some J. Random Luser to simply "report" something and have it shut down. Good luck on that one! Report back here and let us know how it's going.

um, Tammie dear, get a grip. then go get a real newsreader with filter capability & learn to use it. Google groups is a gateway service. they do not have any control over who posts what where. Usenet is, and always has been anarchy. oh, and having histronics & threatening trolls only makes them worse, so just ignore them. welcome to usenet, BTW. lee
Without Google Groups, Usenet would be much smaller today. Its imminent demise has been slowed (and perhaps reversed) by Google. When are the fanatics going to realize that it's the unsophisticated masses that determine the success or failure of technologies?
The message from "MidnightDad" contains these words:

Google groups is by its very nature a temporary glitch to usenet; like acne and potty training.
When
Not in this case, since the unsophisticated masses do not pay for google groups, and they only use it temporarily. Either, those with lowIQ/short concentration span lose interest, or, brighter ones get frustrated by the deficiencies of google-groups and move to a newsreader.. IOW, google/groups is a flash in the pan that will bring about its own demise, like pyramid selling. Furthermore, the nature of google/groups portal service has severely reduced the interest and value of google as a usenet archive. Newsreader users were the people who most used that facility and when they no longer bother, my guess is that google will pull out of usenet altogether; no loss at all to newsreader users. Janet.
