Details
news.mozilla.org has become a major pain to read with all the spam effectivaly
covering all useful posts. In some groups there has been a ratio 3-1 spam - real
posts.
news.mozilla.org needs an anti-spam solution. I don't care if it is honey-pots,
spam filters or cancel rights to more trusted mozilla contributors. It could
even kill a useful post once in a while as far as I'm concerned. It would still
be better than the current situation.

cancel rights really aren't a solution, since a large number of people (AFAICS)
now read the lists exclusively through the mail interface. I'd vastly prefer
just shutting off the nntp gateway completely, or at least making it read-only.
FWIW, 95% of my spam (judging from a count after the thanskgiving weekend) comes
from the webtools list. That's ridiculous.
