Hi MRO,

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

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

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" ?

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.
