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

    Both.

    I gave up on trying to keep you aware of the editor's progress long ago, you're definitely right on that.

    But yes, I'll let others know (and defend the software that I use and support) that your choice *not* to upgrade is the reason behind the issues Wilfred pointed out.

    Have a great rest of your weekend! :D

    This sentence was cut off, but this could just be you not quoting the next line.

    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.

    Nick

    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.


    Bye, Wilfred.

    1st off, this has nothing to do with you,

    you're posting in a public forum. are you new to the internet?

    2nd I never posted any spam,

    that's the only thing that will get your posting privs shut off.
    your system was flooding with something.

    3rd
    you're an idiot.

    I've never flooded a msg network. so who's the idiot.

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

    again, you are in a pubic forum. you keep saying shit like don't post anymore, the matter is closed, etc.

    you still don't know have a clue.

    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...

    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?

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

    By you guys i mean you idiots.

    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 good. enjoy your spam. stop demanding other people do your job for you.

    being obnoxious is different than a person posting under multiple names causing abuse to the entire system.

    If someone is abusing the system then all's fair in love and war. Time to block at the hub or individual system.

    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?

    In the 10 years I've been here MRO has been the
    Gladys Kravitz of BBS forums, you know the nosey neighbor on Bewitched, He's a troll.
    I don't feel like putting up with him any more.
    The easy solution is to put him in my twitlist.

    You're just NOW talking about me like that because i pointed out how incompetent you were. That bewitched reference is lame as hell too.
    I used to watch that when i was a kid and i still barely remember it.

    I'm not a troll, i say what i mean. trolls just say things to get a reaction. Again, you are in a public forum. you can't accuse ANYBODY of being nosey.

    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.

    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.

    what was the question about?
    the synchronet docs are actually pretty decent. All other bbs softwares have horrible documentation.

    even the old docs are useful.

    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

    Nope.
