Can it be made the default in new synchronet installs, new users can
not post in echomail areas?
Possible, yes, but:
1. wouldn't change the configuration hundreds of existing Synchronet installs
That's not an argument to make improvements in new versions!

I am not really sure that the default is what you think it is
anyway.
When you install Synchronet, IIRC, only Dovenet comes
preinstalled with defaults. It is up to the sysop to add those
FTN echoes and, if they set them to where the default new user
level has access, they get access.
I am not real sure what DM can do to force sysops not to do that
on their own systems.

That's something that sysops should decide.

There have been multiple posts in different echomail areas, by "differe users, from different systems, for weeks now, all with the same content find it annoying.
when I come up on that message, just like any other spam on my system, I pus y annoy many people.

I disagree with changing the default. It's very easy to jiggle the
new user settings to do that.

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.
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??

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

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

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.

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).

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.
