Because of a serious health condition I daily read a medical newsgroup. Same
crap there - spammers, scammers, trolls, juveniles posting nonsense (such as
the subject referred to). Like this newsgroup, the one I read is unmoderated
Usenet type. Uncensored. Can't stop anyone posting. Can't filter out posts
you don't like. Disadvantages are that you get a lot of misinformation and
garbage. Advantages are that you pick up much invaluable information. I have
picked up many useful tips here at s.e.r. The medical newsgroup I read has
prolonged my life.

You can probably find moderated forums instead of newsgroups, where there
won't be any nonsense, but I believe in the open interchange of ideas of an
unmoderated newsgroup.
