C-R-M: Suggested posting format Gordon McComb 08-17-2007

To help as a low-end filter against all the splorge, I suggest we append
C-R-M to all new and replied-to postings that really belong here. See
the subject of this message.

It will also help not to cross-post to any other newsgroup. If you are
replying to a message that was cross-posted, remove the other
newsgroups.

I was thinking the same but it does have a tendancy to copy existing
messgaes with the Subject intact......

The latest batch seems to be just random shit, with random user names of
the form firstname.lastname. "Tagging" the subject might work for a
while, at any rate.

Something I've noticed. This thing has created so much spam, it looks
like it is as tired of looking back as we are to find valid posts to
spam with. What I've noticed is now we are only getting one post
spams. If you see one with multiple posts on it, it's probably a real
post. Therefore, if you see a valid post back in the pack, even if
you've only got marginal interest in it, post to it to keep it near
the front of the pack of latest posts.

So along with using CRM as a lead in in the subject, I'd also suggest
the original poster posting twice. We can spot those easily against
the flood of one subject and post per spams.
