This is Usenet, not the "web", and this isn't a moderated newsgroup.
Subscribe to a decent newsfeed that filters spam, and get a proper
news client that lets you filter out the idiots.

Help make Usenet a better place: English is read downwards,
please don't top post. Trim messages to quote only relevant text.
Check groups.google.com before asking a question.

How do you filter out idiots that keep changing their names and reposting
with different junk?
Any recommmendations on a decent newsfeed?

ps If English is read downwards, why does MS program default to top?

So does Agent, it is an invitation to start trimming your message
before you post at the bottom.

Filter on keywords in the body or on their posting host or just filter the
entire domain.
