Folkes I am not a new kid on the block with running a public bulletin board
system. Running a bbs is spose to be hobby and not a job, but some nuckles
heads that call your bbs like to start some problems.
Here is a good example:
About 5 years ago when I was running my bbs from the telephone line I had some
problem children that decided to call my bbs and post some nasty messages in a
few of my Fido Net National Echoes. A few days later I found out someone filed
a Fido Net Policy4 violation against me.
The end result was that I had to send out a few messages telling the sysop,
there nec that I was sorry that my one users decided to act up. So I spent a
few days working on resolving this issue when I had some more important stuff
that needed more urgent attention. The user account was terminated, and the
individuals where told that they where not welcome back on my bbs. There phone
number was blocked using one of the phone company services that I had on the
line during that time period.
The bbs has been running for over 2 weeks and the users do not even ready the
rules posted in the logon and when the new user file is displayed on there
screen.
I will hold the users accountable when they screw up. I am working on writting
a program that will force them to read the rules or they access level will be
reduced to level 0 and they will be disconnected from the bbs. This is spose
to be hobby, so I am not going to let it stress me out this time!
For the information that I request about how to include the users new generated
password in the body of a email messages. I have decided that this is one of
the best methodes because the program that I am writting will force the users
to verify that they have not changed there email account during a 90 day
period.
Besides being on Fidonet I also got dov.net and the internet newsgroups to deal
with. So I will try make modifications to my bbs to prevent the problems before
they happen.
Thank you
Terminator
