If they are not told they will continue to post improperly, If a poster
can't take the time to learn how to properly use a resource then they
shouldn't use it.
There are no mods, this is NNTP, it appears your not to informed on usage
either.

David you are right. I don't have the faintest idea what NNTP is. I
only see these posts flooding into our forum. But the source from where
they come I have never used. But I do understand now that things work
differently there than in an orderly forum.

Just FYI, what ever forum your accessing these groups from does not host
them, they are leaching off of Microsoft's NNTP newsgroups to make their
forum appear more active than it is, and they have absolutely no control
over them.
