Isn't there a moderator for this group who can block the spammers, or at

No. Usenet doesn't work that way. There are moderated groups where
all posts are vetted in advance, but this is not a moderated group.
What happens instead is that individual ISPs each use their own
methods of spam filtering the news feed that you see.
