"Hey everyone. What's the issue here? I don't recognize the language of 90% of the topics here. When I use a translator, it seems to be about betting. The problem is that I've been receiving these messages in my email daily. Does anyone know what's going on?"

Yes, it's a real pain. It comes about because this is not a moderated
group, therefore anybody can post anything.

It helps to use an actual newsreader, instead of Google Groups. I'm
using gnus, which runs in emacs. One of its features is kill files.
I've made some entries in my main kill file, and I didn't get any
unwanted SPAM today.
