Hi, August!

 AA> But I thought tha people who use the invite links to join will

This is a very bad idea. Invite links are published in Fido. Such messages are 
available on many Web BBS and are easily found by Google and other search 
engines. Accordingly, a spam bot can easily join a group. However, it will no 
be able to customize his profile.

 AA>    How is it possible for someone to post to a group that they haven't
 AA> joined?

It's not possible.

 AA> So.. did all of us see that one on our Telegram apps?

Yes. All group members will receive this warning. It doesn't get to Fido.
This is inconvenient, but due to the fact that the bot cannot write to the 
personal chat first. I can turn this off and display such messages about the 
need for registration only when a new user joins the group.

PS: Is it possible to write a message to any echo conference on other BBSs 
without registration?

Have nice nights.
       Stas Mishchenkov.
