Reports made to Google Groups are a complete waste of time.
Google will only cancel *that* account (without blocking the IP
address).
It takes the spammer 30 seconds to enable *another* account.
That is, ZERO real effect.
It should also be noted that each time this is done
plonk files could grow by one item.

For Blogspot/Googlepages spam, report those to
mailto:adsense-abuse at google.com    adsense-abuse@ google.com
That puts his site into Google Hell (screws up his GoogleRank).

The most effective effort you can make
is to do a reverse-DNS on the NNTP-Posting-Host
http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=122.164.105.235&email=on
and report abusers to their providers.
This assumes their ISPs aren't complete rogues.
