• twitlist.cfg

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to digital man on Sun Jan 3 11:29:28 2021
    Good morning!

    I have noticed a feature of twitlist.cfg that I did not know existed. I have been picking up a newsgroup from another FTN system. I also then pass that newsgroup along, also via FTN, to another one of my systems.

    I recently added a name to the twitlist.cfg of a user who only posts one-line childish responses to every new topic that is brought up. Once I added that name to the file, not only did I stop seeing that user's posts on my synchronet system, I also noticed that sbbsecho uses the twitlist.cfg file and not longer passes those messages to my other system.

    I am hoping this is intentional but, if it is actually a bug, which source files do I need to back up in future to make sure that this bug remains a feature on my system? I am thinking it might work as a future moderation device in the ftn echos I moderate. :)

    Thanks!

    SBBSecho applies the twitlist when importing messages only.

    Everything is backed-up on gitlab.synchro.net. I don't think you're describing a bug.

    I have never traded messages with the guy. Actually, I don't think I have
    ever posted in that group. I just lurk. I figured out filtering him out really helped the signal-to-noise ratio. :)

    I have that newsgroup here, and his old messages should still be in it. The twitlist has only eliminated any newer ones from showing up.
