    Hello Adept,

    On Tue, Apr 23 2024 21:03:48 +0000, you wrote:

    New users can read, but not post, on my BBS, unless it's local.


    Seems to me like a good plan. I would imagine if a user wants to post, they would probably write you and either ask for access to do so, or ask why they currently can't. ;)

    I have this type of set up at Agency, initial access does not allow posting only read access.

    This turd seems to be calling a bunch of BBSs to see which ones he can
    get away with what he's doing.. and with that said, it doesn't really
    seem like someone brand new to BBSing, if he can make his way through multiple BBSs to spam the same post over and over.

    Yes, I have wondered the same thing.

    the name he used -- Pengo -- is in the twitlist.cfg file. >

    Well, huh, that name sounds familiar as a relatively-recent addition
    on my board, too.

    But I think I have it set so that new users can't immediately post,
    and since his new-user message was underwhelming or non-existent, I
    didn't bother to upgrade the account, either.

    That is how I have it set on my Synchronet system. Here, he did post a new-user message and ironically (or not!) it included his paranoid rant!
    <grin>

    I went back and looked, and, huh, yeah, single-line paranoid comment in mine. So I didn't change the security level, figuring I'd wait until there was a repeat visit.

    Said visit never came, so I forgot about it.
