Still I think inexpercience of new sysops plays a role in this. So I'm
not
blaming them for this happening. Changing the default setting is for helping them to prevent such things happening...
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?
Hi MRO,

That's a good option too. Is it turned on by default in new installs?
anyways, i keep asking but nobody really is answering my question. is this going on now and who's doing it?
The last ones I received came in last Wednesday in de ECHO_ADDS and FIDONEWS area. On Tuesday they were posted in FIDONEWS and FNEWS_PUBLISH. Those were the first ones in May. But there were a lot more in March and all through April, but from different systems...
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?
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.

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).

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...

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

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.

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.
