Well, you would have a way to moderate if you were using a proper
Usenet newsreader instead of that absolutely awful Google Groups web
interface. With a proper newsreader you would have available to you a
killfile that you could use to remove the spammers posts from your view
of the news group.

You can find a list of real Usenet newsreaders here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Usenet_newsreaders
And you can use one of those newsreaders to access Usenet via (at
least) one of these two newsservers:
Eternal September
https://www.eternal-september.org/
AIOE

This is not a mailing list. This is a Usenet newsgroup.

If you used a real newsreader, you could enter the spammer into your
killfile and your newsreader would remove their posts from your view.
Afterwhich you could continue to read the group without enduring the
spammers posts.
