It looks as if the flat earthers are trying to take over sci.astro.
Since they reject accepted astrophysics the astronomy community could
fight back to muzzle the flerfers. 

 
I set my newsreader to cancel all posts crossposted to the
flat earth group.  This is the first posting in ages that
has not been auto-cancelled by this kill file setting.
 

That is a viable personal strategy but my questions are about
administratively halting the spread of flat earth ideas. How would
flerfers be shut down at the institutional or protocol layers? At what
point, and how, might action be taken to muzzle the flerfers?
