Of course. And as I said above, I'm not asking to limit the sysops
options,
mers (or bots).
I disagree with changing the default. It's very easy to jiggle the
new user settings to do that.

Maybe it's easy, but it's overlooked by new sysops...
Hi Dumas,
On 2024-05-16 08:47:00, you wrote to me:
When you install Synchronet, IIRC, only Dovenet comes preinstalled
with defaults. It is up to the sysop to add those FTN echoes and, if they set them to where the default new user level has access, they get access.
I am not real sure what DM can do to force sysops not to do that on their own systems.
I don't know either, I was just asking if it would be possible...
i havent seen it so i have something right in my twitfilter or in my ip filter
i blocked pengo back in feb.
i see shitty necroposting to the pengo pedo post post on thurs may 02 on vert.
is it this marry4 guy?
Well that bbs in norway where pengo was posting from, that sysop and all the other people are all the same guy.
He even lied and said he blocked that person and when i was logged in there i saw that person login and they were in the msg areas.
We got another case of crazy sysop syndrome.
i'm still not seeing any of this shit. is someone actually going around now posting junk?

We could change the default settings for new users to include the 'N' restriction, which would (by defualt, in new SBBS installs) prevent new users from posting messages on networks.

Yep. ;)

Shitty or pengo? I don't think either of them are mary4 but could be wrong.

If you have him added to your twitlist, then you are like me and not seeing it.
The OP doesn't run synchronet, I don't think, so they probably don't have Pengo/etc. in their twitlist (and maybe don't have one).

That sounds harmless enough.

So, because some idiot is changing names on your site, you want a worldwi change of SBBS installs? Wanna explain it better?

I noticed on vert's fidonet echos these posts aren't
showing up. so either DM filtered properly or manually deleted the posts.

No it originated on a Z1 system, and got everywhere...
you guys should have contacted him and told him to twit filter the
names they were using.
Are they spammers bots or real people? i thought they were real people. having people blocked by default from posting is something that should be a sysop decision, not a default bbs setting.
No I dont think we are that stupid. I will admit I had a spam user get access to my fidonet areas. I have since locked it all down. Maybe in your infinite wisdom, you could recommend a way to validate users so they can have access to
Fidonet Message bases??

Or new sysops intentionally have it set that way.
Or maybe the nut-job poster actually uses a real email address and validates their account that way and then posts their garbage.
I would just assume "new sysops" are fault for every posting by this
nut.

Still I think inexpercience of new sysops plays a role in this. So I'm

blaming them for this happening. Changing the default setting is for helping them to prevent such things happening...
1st off, this has nothing to do with you,
2nd I never posted any spam,

you're an idiot.
Don't bother with a reply because you're going in the twitlist.

Is it just me or are people slowly turning this forum into Facebook. Somebody cuts a quote short, or makes a spelling mistake and everyone gets their panties in a twist. You don't like something about what someone says so you threaten to block, unfollow, or YIKES, even put them on a twitlist? Why do we bother?
(The preceding thoughts were my personal opinion only, and not meant to threaten, harass, diminish, embarass, or cause anyone to run to their safe space)

I like Robs approach, when we ask noob questions he points us to the wiki p to encourage us to look for and find the answers to our problems.
Sometimes the author gives bad pointers back. I asked once for help finding the right area on the wiki for something very specific, listing all the pages I had tried, and what part I was missing.
Link came bach with the root page of the wiki (obviously useless). I never asked again. No, I never found it either.
furthermore the guy said they
were using other non synchronet bbses to post.
why dont you tell your hubs to filter these posts from fidonet?
it would be more effective.
It's better to fix it at the source. Besides it's highly frowned upon to filter
echomail.

No it originated on a Z1 system, and got everywhere...
furthermore the guy said they
were using other non synchronet bbses to post.
I have noticed, and mentioned, that also. IMHO, it happens most with synchronet BBSes because there are so many of them, but I have also seen
him post from mystic and at least one other type bbs (forget which now).

My BBS is setup so new users won't even see Dove-net until I upgrade their account also the guest account has the same restrictions.
They can post all the want on my local message base, I also put a that restriction on voting and uploading.
