    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.

    I think this is a real person. Early on, Pengo was responding back to
    replies. Their real name (at least what they use at logon) is Lesley.

    Their IP address block is 95.24.14.0/24 which resolves to corbina.ru.
    After they logged on here and found they could only post their drivel on a local area, they've not been back. Since I blocked the above IPA range,
    that could also be why.

    The latest messages I saw were from a board that joined after a lot of this info was shared here by another sysop, so they were probably not aware of
    the "Pengo" problem.

    While they have hit synchronet systems a lot, they've also hit other boards which also makes me think it is not a bot (or it is very sophisticated).

    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??

    Back in time, I had a couple of users log on, act normal enough to get
    access and then start spamming. "Pengo" logged on here as a regular user
    and, had they not used the "Pengo" alias, I might not have caught on until after they started spamming.

    Luckily, new users only have access to a few bases and, since they used the "Pengo" alias, they are in the twitlist so no posts they might have been
    able to make could go out through sbbsecho.

    Hi Carol,

    On 2024-05-16 13:07:00, you wrote to me:

    Of course. And as I said above, I'm not asking to limit the sysops
    options,
    mers (or bots).

    (Your quoter is broken...)

    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...


    Bye, Wilfred.


    I like my quoter fine as it is. I like the default as it is as less troulbe for DM. I don't want to start with a new sysop ecplaining how to change all the levels 'over and over'.

    It you have some odd happenings where you are, it's a local issue, to be worked out locally,

    xxcarol

    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 am not real sure what DM can do to force sysops not to do that on their own systems.

    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.

    Correct. Message distribution systems are way too fast for the simplistic approach he uses.

    Reality, msg arrives to 1:275/1000. It may be already overseas to Terri Roati, 2 other USA sites and Vince in the UK in far less than a minute, if echomail. Some of them may have it in distrubution before I can see it myself.

    What makes you think they wouldn't look at this setting and toggle it off. Perhaps their feeds should talk to them when they join up and warn them to police their systems.

    And like i said, with synchronet you could use the ARS system to not allow the posts until x amount of calls.

    anyways, i keep asking but nobody really is answering my question. is this going on now and who's doing it? can someone post some screenshots?

    He should just tell his hub to filter this shit out.
    asking a specific bbs software to add a super restrictive feature that prevents people from outright posting is just stupid. furthermore the guy said they were using other non synchronet bbses to post.

    I'm against it. It would just be another barrier and we have so few users as it is. Furthermore, if you make such a wide change, they will just figure another way around it.

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

    You also notice on fidonet morons are replying to the posts when the original sender might be filtered on other systems. some are saying 'ignore this'.
    That just adds to noise.

    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 isn't, except by those who get some sort of thrill in reading
    messages from "Lee Lofaso" talking about masturbating and how he consumes his own ejaculate.

    The rest of us are plenty fine with filtering out spam and the absurdly infantile.

    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.

    They should just filter on their systems and the person will get bored and go away. In all my years i never saw a person ask for a bbs software to be changed in his manner just because of one person. I think these fidonet guys are just

    The WORD at the end of this line was cut off, that's usually not user error.

    I Did upgrade. You've been TOLD that.

    Recent versions of SlyEdit (if that's what you're still using), as well as Deuce's FSEditor both add a NOTE kludge that gives version information and possibly even the release date. You don't seem to have that kludge in your messages. *shrug*

    Either way, you could take a look at SlyEdit.cfg and check this setting:

    ; If the reWrapQuoteLines option is set to true, quote lines will be re-wrapped ; so that they are complete but still look good when quoted. If this option is ; disabled, then quote lines will simply be trimmed to fit into the message. reWrapQuoteLines=true

    If it's currently set to false, that's why you're trimming the end of the lines (in case you want to correct that). If you don't have that option in the default config file, you haven't upgraded in quite some time.

    Never heard that saying, but looks like you bastardized it.

    I don't think you would accept advice or criticism from anybody, considering how badly your bbs runs.

    MULTIPLE TIMES over at least a decade, when your issues have been pointed out you never bothered fixing them. I also don't believe most of your stories and reminiscing. Over the years you just come off as a typical old liberal hipster who likes pine nuts on his muffins.

    If you really enjoy the hobby of BBSing, you have to ignore some of the bad stuff and not let it bother you too much.

    Nightfox

    That's true, but some of these guy's just get frustrated.
    But you're right they should ignore the negative.

    BBSing only to be treated like crap by a few then leaving never to be heard from here again, it's not just MRO there are a few that jump in with him.

    If you really enjoy the hobby of BBSing, you have to ignore some of the bad stuff and not let it bother you too much.

    first he should learn how to properly run a bbs.

    That's true, but some of these guy's just get frustrated. But you're right they should ignore the negative.

    It's one thing to ignore negativity about technical abilities or reading comprehension. It's entirely another to have to ignore bigotry. I have no tolerance for intolerance. It's the year 2024, but we have a certain person throwing around slur words like it's 1985.

    We talk here about wanting to appeal to more people, but then we allow people to make it feel hostile. The days of you older straight white men being the majority are ending, we need to appeal to those that are becoming the majority. If I hadn't been into BBSing in the mid 90s & had other women helping me feel welcome back then, there's probably no way I'd be here now.

    Having no tolerance for intolerance is still intolerance.

    Negativity is mostly by a few, there are many people promoting posativity here to, those here that are willing to help the new ones enjoy the hobby.
    Thats why I say just ignore the negativity.

    No one should be in a majority, you want to take one majority and replace it with another, in fact we should all be reaching for middle ground.
    I like Robs approach, when we ask noob questions he points us to the wiki page to encourage us to look for and find the answers to our problems.

    the synchronet docs are actually pretty decent. All other bbs softwares have horrible documentation.

    If you're just doing echomail and zone 1 netmail, you only need 2
    entries for your uplink and one for everyone else (e.g. 1:ALL).


    Question, will the doing away with zonegates affect any internal issues
    there with the statements? This is happening the next week or so and has
    in some zones already.

    Nope.
