of my messages from a different BBS on those networked bases went
THROUGH his BBS, his BBS would silently drop that message.
That's major overkill.
IHMO: He was just too stupid to know what he did.
This guy who kicked me off his BBS went to great
lengths too. I try to log in and it says "All nodes are in use." (I'm certain that that's not some weird Mystic bug.)
Back when I ran a BBS many decades ago, when I had a problem user, I would set his access level very low and he would get a message of "You can't call here anymore." But some people don't get the hint.
I had set up a Mystic BBS on an old Raspberry PI as an experiment not too long ago. I never advertised the BBS since it was never intended to be publically available - but I had to open up networking so that I could get to it from work.
One day, someone else logged in to it. I killed his account.
A few days later, he logged in again, re-creating his account. I set his account to "you can read a message and log off" explaining that this was not a public BBS.
The next month, I found he added my BBS to the Telnet BBS list!
If I were still running a BBS, I would certainly welcome people who disagree with my political views.
But Leftoids, especially ones with TDS, can't handle facts that go counter to their false Narrative. It reminds them that they are wrong.
I like the Dovenet guys. They are pretty decent.
I think Dovenet is one of the areas I avoid now. I don't remember.
I do know that the cancellation problem seems to have gone away (or when I notice, it seems to be related to simple technical problems).
