for three decades and counting, all active newsgroups have been occupied by
the usenet troll farm (ever since "eternal september" opened the floodgates
in the mid-1990s) . . . e.g. in other newsgroups it's much easier to filter
troll farm "regulars" that are typically not using remailers (by scoring on
overview and non-overview headers), but as this classic a.p.a-s faq reminds 
subscribers, contributors posting through remailers may not be using custom
"from" headers (full or partial), but most newsreaders (dialog, tbird, etc.)
can use "ignore" flag [i] on sub-threads without ignoring the entire thread, 
and i've found that responding to these "tuta-tor"/"tor-mailer"/"mail2tor"/
"mini-tor"/"crypto-tor"/"eelbash clone" trolls is in all cases unproductive

Subject: What do APAS readers expect?
Summary: FAQ maintainer recommends on-topic text posts.
>
APAS readers expect all the usual Usenet etiquette (don't attach
binary, don't write in HTML, don't type in all capitals, think
carefully before posting, etc.) that is available elsewhere.  Also
like other newsgroups, APAS has regular trolls who post messages to
attract flames, i.e., angry or insulting replies.  Show you recognize
the troll by not taking the bait.
Another unwelcome type of post is the test message.  There are
specific groups (e.g., <alt.test> or <misc.test>) available for test
messages.  Scanning <alt.test> for test posts has the added benefit
that the results of others' tests are available as well.
Placing trolls and test posts in a kill file may be slightly more
difficult in APAS because many participants (even those who actually
contribute) post anonymously.  Some constructive participants post
using a pseudonym.

p.s. the "troll farm" is well-named...it's their job to incite trouble,
confusion, obfuscation, obstacles, entrapment and worse where they can
get away with it . . . "them" is the popular term, big brother, agents
in the system only doing their duty . . . avoid not evade is advisable
