Just looked at my filter log file, and its taken 161 filter actions so far today...
However I would estimate the actual messages filtered could be a half to a quarter of that, since some will appear twice because there are multiple actions on the filter (say "delete message", and "ignore sub thread"), and some posters also get killed by multiple filters (say anything by peeler, and anything that is a cross post, will end up with a double kill on peeler should it also cross post).
Its pointless as its the price you pay for having no moderation on a group. Its all text and takes up very little room, so who really cares, it probably means the same group has at least two groups within it each filtering the others post out. Its no different to sorting emails into folders. Brian
So do I. Seems to work most of the time but occasionally someone I've killed 'forever' pops up after maybe 3 months. Perhaps they alter one character in their author name or summat?
Yes, I only get to see a very small proportion of the posts to this group. Time wasters, trolls, democracy-haters and other incorrigible idiots are all filtered out and it saves me *so* much valuable time I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who values intelligent discourse but doesn't want to spend hours and hours sifting for it.
Yes, that does happen but fortunately not very often. The good thing is in Pan you can kill those morphers off far quicker than they can create new identities, so they quickly catch on and just give up.
These features don't seem to be in the 0.14x series. Charles Kerr quit developing it, & someone else took it on. The original features of the 0.14.x series were never implemented.
I'm still running 0.139. There was an update a while back which f***ed up the layout. I did post for help at the time, but as with so many "free" products none came, so I downgraded and pinned the build in synaptic to stay on the working version.
Writ large, it's why commercial software will still have a place ....
I just wish I could find a way to do it in Google Groups. Yes, I know he cognoscenti consider it crap but its too much grief to change it and become accustomed to s new reader. Old age I'm afraid.
I dream of winning the lottery and visiting Australia with an AK47
