I am usualy very quiet, and don't chime in on most things, but I am in agreement with some of the others about the recent influx of file postings. I enjoy seeing the BBS Ads, and I even post BBS ads here for my system, but my fears are that most people are going to turn this echo and other BBS ad echos off because of the constant file postings, as I am considering doing myself. I could live with a consolidation report at the end of every day of all the files posted in one report, but multiple reports in one day are starting to wear thin. There is an area in fido called filegate that these messages could be posted. I really feel these file postings are meant to be posted on the bbs itself, not a global echo. Please don't take this message as hostile, because it is not my intention, this is only my personal feelings. Thanks in advace for listening.

I agree fully, this is after all a BBS ADS echo and not a filegate echo. i don't post my bbs ad but once a week for fear its too much sometimes. I freaked out the other day because when I put my weekly batch event back in I accidently set it for nightly, and my bbs ad was being posted everyday. know
yeah we can block these guys in our twitlist but jesus christ, this is spam and spam in an echo is bad for all participants as a whole.
Agreed, there should be a line drawn somewhere. this echo had some KICKASS bbs ads in it, and I used to love to try to get creative and one up other Sysops, and it gave me driving force to also make my BBS better. Now I don't even read the area because it gets 25+ file postings daily. which should belong in a filegate echo.
Otherwise both these guys seem cool, but, they seem to not care what the majority thinks about their actions on this network. even though at times I
i dont know tony but i've interacted with alan for years. he seemed fine, but now notice how he didnt even take it into consideration? i think i approached it pretty nicely with referring to putting himself in the user's shoes.
obviously the guy doesnt care. i dont know why they think it's okay because i wouldnt think to dump my file area notices into bbs ads.

I do too.. I beleive everyone has, maybe they cannot see our messages for the file notices.. :-)

me either.. ever..
I see them. I wonder.. WTF is this. Imagine what it would look like if every sysop started doing this.

My thoughts as well. Don't care or are oblivious, which essentially
is not caring. Next thing you know, we'll get reprimanded for having
a discussion in the BBS Ads area ...

when it gets to that point they go in my TWITLIST, then NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON can see their posts. for THIS system at least.. wonder how many other systems are ready to follow suit.
Dear Mro,
I don't know why you continue to spam my e-mail with reports of my file list It seems that other peoples not agree - ONLY - my file list. Am I correct? I is the case as I don't really care to announce here I leave the place to oth BBS's Guru that want highlight their announces.
My announces stops right now and I'll wish a very nice week end.

Yes that's correct Mro I told what are you talking about, because you come t me talking about SPAM which in IT is another thing, but this is another matt and to be honest I promptly checked my logs to see if I was disturbing or "spamming" somebody, always because I want to maintain safe my education and reputation.
So now for the happiness of everybody Friends BBS stopped him announces here am afraid to been disturbed the area with my stupid announces but I thought "BBS Ads" means what the name said, but I was wrong it means " BBS Ads - ONL for certain BBS". Now that I understood the correct meaning apologise again the disturb which wasn't intentional.

In their defense, you were not the only sysop they've picked on in here, although I don't know if they were sending e-mails to all of them or not.
Some networks encourage file postings in the same echo as the BBS ads echo. Personally, I just skip over them.

It is not just you, There are at least two systems posing files received messages multiple times per day. Since this is not an echo to do such,
However, I think this really useless and unproductive controversy. It
was enough that the good mro had sent me an email telling me "Can you please stop sending announcements that bother me?" And everything
would be solved without any controversy. Among other things I have not received any e-mail / warning from Digital Man. Again for me the
matter ends here, indeed ended yesterday when I removed the
announcements, I expect to see go away the other announcements,
otherwise I have to consider all this disingenuous.

I hope to see published here the email that the zealous mro sent to them at the same time.

fine.. the more the merrier). However this isn't Fidonet, and it seems the members of this network don't want that kind of
spam here.
Keep it in Fidonet, please - as the people that don't want to see it, don't link up to Fidonet (or those specific echos at least).
i would like to have a vote to restrict their access to this msg sub to read only and i think a lot of people here would agree with that. they dont want to discuss it or change.

That would defeat its purpose, which is to post ads. RO would stop anyone from posting.
for now?!?! Other Sysops has already banned you and your IP from their system considering you a troll. but I still maintain a educate behaviour.

those werent bbs ads. they were file announcements.
I am aware, however they are allowed to post ads just as much as you or I. While we may not like it, util now at least there was nothing in any rules that did not allow what they were posting.
