Can these sex stuff filtered from our group?

Our newsgroup is for SBS 2000 skills/knowledge exchange. Can those guys post
these sex stuff to somewhere where they are supposed to be? By the way, I
don't know if the network admin. for this group can filter these stuff?

Hi, John Z,

I find these adds obnoxioua and distasteful, but more than that I find them
deeply stupid. Yet it's my opinion--not that anyone asked--that the MVPs
have enough to do just trying to respond to all the legitimate postings
without their having to be censors as well, particularly when it's easy
enough to simply delete the obnoxious postings.

It's also been my experience that when anyone tries to limit this stuff (and
I believe MS does have filters in place, because there used to be a lot more
if this), the spammers just work harder to get their stuff displayed, so
it's best to just ignore/delete it.

Just my two cents.

It's no good asking us any way - we have no say in how MS administer their
servers.
