We use Google Groups for the Spanning Sync discussion forum, and until recently spam had become a serious nuisance. To weed it out, I had enabled message moderation, but I was still spending an inordinate amount of time deleting spam messages and banning users (who were probably using one-time accounts anyway).
Then Google did something wonderful. They added a "Spam" category to the moderation panel, which lets me quickly delete the message, ban the user who posted it from the group, and allow everything else—all with just a couple of clicks. Nice!
Thanks, Google!
