I've now made it so you have to be manually verified before posting in the network bases on happyland.

I've been curios to know how this is done (I've seen it often).
Was wondering if it was a bot/web post kinda thing, but to do it via a teln login seems a lot of effort for that topic.
No, it's a person, they had to his esc twice, logon new, fill out
info, name, age, forgot password question, etc. Then went right to a random message base and posted crap. Blocked the IP here.

Can you share the IP address, (Via netmail)?

What message base/echo was this spam in? Didn't notice anything here.
Ok, whatever it was I didn't see it... I searched for happyland as a keyword to display all posts with that origin, but nothing untoward...

They logged in here (a month or so ago), and posted in 10th
Amendment FidoNet echo then logged off ... I was like whatever.

It was in the space and music sections
I am still checking to see what he might have posted from CCO yesterday.
I am a little miffed he was even able to log on and create an account as
the name he used -- Pengo -- is in the twitlist.cfg file.
Hopefully, that at least kept his posts from going out but I shall soon
see.
Ahhh OK, don't read that echo so I didn't see it.
Thanks, going to add.

He seams to be getting this crap out via synco system's... Wondering
if most
of them are on autopilot? OR new users can post to echo's by default?
At first I thought maybe he had a script that worked with synchro prompts but no longer think that.
It was your release party victory. Keep on making!

he has responded before when we trash talked him.. so it may well be
fully manual

New users can read, but not post, on my BBS, unless it's local.
Hopefully that doesn't put off too many users, but does put off the spammers / scammers / awful people doing awful things.
Though I did tend to think that this corner of the online world was
mostly away from that, because it's unusual technology with almost no return on time invested.
Always annoying when that doesn't turn out to be the case.
Hello Adept,

Seems to me like a good plan. I would imagine if a user wants to post, they would probably write you and either ask for access to do so, or ask why they currently can't. ;)
This turd seems to be calling a bunch of BBSs to see which ones he can
get away with what he's doing.. and with that said, it doesn't really
seem like someone brand new to BBSing, if he can make his way through multiple BBSs to spam the same post over and over.

Well, huh, that name sounds familiar as a relatively-recent addition
on my board, too.
But I think I have it set so that new users can't immediately post,
and since his new-user message was underwhelming or non-existent, I
didn't bother to upgrade the account, either.
That is how I have it set on my Synchronet system. Here, he did post a new-user message and ironically (or not!) it included his paranoid rant!
<grin>
