http://www.lispforum.com doesn't seem that affected by spam. (Perhaps
due to first post moderated)

The first post is moderated -- that eliminates most spammers.

All subsequent posts are monitored; a user who began spamming would be
stopped.

Unmoderated usenet groups such as cll cannot rely on moderation.

It's useless; Google doesn't do anything significant to stop the spam.
This is evident from the fact that I and others have been reporting
those for a very long time and I even sent emails to google staff
about it long time ago but they didn't do anything to stop it, the
problem wasn't solved and if anything, it has gotten worse.

Nah, both lispforum.com and reddit.com/r/lisp show that we can have it
spam free for free, without a newsreader. And not requiring a
newsreader makes it more accessible to newbies aswel.
