The usual echo rules apply. I realize that some users just
have aliases in TgM. Some moderators might want the user to
sign with their real name in that case - unless Stas' gate can
implement an Alias/RealName conversion?

It's implemented long time ago.

OH! Yes.. I remember that. There is a "Name: First Name, Last
Name" config in TgM. I guess that's what your gate is picking
up? But if someone were to have that part blank or refuse to
fill that out, how does your system pick up and maintain the
real name to meet some echo requirements?

Each Telegram user has a unique USER ID.

Have nice nights.

That is a good feature. But as a couple of my previous posts
showed, I can change FN = AA, LN = blank, and FN = August and
LN = blank in my TgM settings. The TGUID stays the same, but
the gate can't accomodate the FN + LN requirement for some
fido echomail areas.

Maybe the gate can refuse to broadcast a message if the
LastName is blank?

If I am not mistaken, at least most of the Echoes rules that I recall have a caveat about Real Names being in the Body of the message if an alias or handle is in the FN LN section.

Yeah, I think your right. As long as you sign it with your real first/last, most mods are okay with it

First, this is not a hard requirement; secondly, now the gate is focused on the Username, but I have almost finished the new version, in which Real Name will be tied to UserID. Only the first name and even three names are allowed in the From field.

Maybe the gate can refuse to broadcast a message if the
LastName is blank?

This is only strictly required in the nodelist. Most users of Telegram leave the last name field empty.

Have nice nights.
