    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.

    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.

    Hi MRO,

    On 2024-05-20 13:33:31, you wrote to me:

    you're not even mentioning the names of the people.

    Why is that important? He/She/They changed names a couple of times al
    ready, so they can do that again.

    Because i needed what to look for because i wasn't seeing it.
    furthermore, in some cases you can look up the person's ip address on various bbses.

    These are the names that were used for posting these spam messages in the last two months:

    Lesley
    Lesley Thompson
    Meriadoc Doc
    Pengo
    Pere Pasco
    meriadoc doc
    peregrine apascou

    It's better to fix it at the source. Besides it's highly frowned upon
    to filter echomail.

    Turn your frown upside down. grow some balls. Asking a specific bbs software
    to change a feature to prevent users from posting is stupid.

    This is a big simplyfication of what I asked! All I asked was that the default for posting to echomail areas for unverified new users is changed. Not local areas, not for every user! This is not helping the discussion...

    You guys have all the power to block posts not only by name but my
    text strings or anything you can think of.

    "You guys" ?

    We've dealt with someone much worse than this guy using different
    methods than what you are attempting.

    Fidonet has a long history of obnoxious users/sysops too. They were always allowed to freely express there opinions and worse, and still are.

    That's stupid. if the sysop is going to setup an echomail area it's their decision to setup things. What do you call verified? can i verify you? can you verify me? what is that even in today's age?

    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.

    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.
