Not seen it here Nick. Just the on topic posts as usual, well, except for
Pete's posts under your name. :-)
Perhaps you need a different news server.

1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining
they're having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know
how to avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.

imagined.

You're a 5th rate troll, you don't command the attention.

He is a pathetic creature, how can you tell a difference, given that
you're a dodo too?

There have been a couple of puerile flooding attacks on u.r.g recently
using random computer generated junk. If you are lucky someone will have
already have cancelled them before you download the newsgroup. Not all
mail servers honour cancel messages though so YMMV.

Typically they seem able to flood with about 10000 items an hour. There
are other ways of filtering the dross depending on your news client.

If you don't mind a small risk of collateral damage reject everything
with headers containing :

NNTP-Posting-Host: 81.102.253.101

Some of the searchable newsgroup archives were messed up by this.

Doubtless the next attack will come from some other insecure host

I just subscribed to this group last week and thought the users were using
some sort of encryption. I searched high and low on the web for the key, to
no avail. The posts in Google Groups appeared to be normal which confirmed
my suspicion that there was a key to the encrypted messages. I use
Newsrover for my newsreader and thought that might have some kind of help on
deciphering the thousands of strange posts in urg. Maybe you were all
writing in urgalese? I deleted all the gobbledegook and a few 'normal'
posts started appearing. I've since discovered that it was just a
coincidence that I subscribed at the same time as the wrecker was posting
his rubbish.

As a novice gardener, with a postage-stamp sized garden (7square meters),
I'm finding lots of useful information in the group and ideas on what to do
with my blank slate patch.

Cheers

Don

Your news group server must be picking up messages like mine is, It
normally sits around 1000 total messages (due to the time I keep the history
of the group) But some Idiot used a random number generator last week to
spam the group and now I have nearly 7000 in the file.

I had a total of between 500 and 1000 altogether of the joke messages.
