Try filtering on gmane.spam.detected in Xref [1].  Those detected spam
articles are automatically hidden in Loom (the web interface):
<URL:http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.emacsen>
See also <URL:http://gmane.org/spam-control.php>,
<URL:http://gmane.org/spam.php> and the Gnus spam reporting stuff
(info "(gnus)Gmane Spam Reporting").

[1] In Gnus, you can use the following score file:

,----
| (("xref"
|   ("gmane.spam.detected" -1000 nil s))
|  ("subject"
|   ("test" -2000 nil s))
|  (mark-and-expunge -100))

Bye, Reiner.
