[Dxspider-support] ROS Mode

[Lee Sawkins]

I sometimes think I am talking to a tree.

You are one of the sysops I mentioned a few messages back.
If it doesn't come from your node you could care less about it.  Bogus etc who cares.

This spot didn't show up on my node.  My users are happy.  Your users get the crap.

  As I said, it does not come from my node.

    You talk a good talk, but the results speak for themselves.

    I mentioned BX5AA putting out bogus spots a while back.   When I connect to your cluster I see the following spot

    CC11^14257.0^BX5AA^13-Jun-2010^1136Z^^N0JH^9^226^K1TTT-14^44^24^7^4^^CO^Taiwan-BV^CO-Colorado-K^PL04^

    This spot is bogus.  It came from Taiwan.   From the same IP that BX5AA uses to put out spots.

    You say its simple to fix.  Fix it please.

        So what are the callsigns involved?  Tell us and we can deal with it very easily.  It takes seconds to do.  Trying to regulate the cluster with a stick is not the way forward.  What we need is education.  I try to help my users and explain to them why correct procedure is important.  If I were to spot any wrongdoings from either of my clusters I would take a very dim view indeed of it and would have words with the person involved.  I take my responsibilities as a sysop very seriously.

            as list of abuser's IP addresses and drop their spots no matter where
            they came from.


          Well, what do you do with dynamic IP addresses?

          On my side, my IP address on the WAN side is forced to a new value after a maximum of 20 hours and this is the same with all ADSL (and cable? not 100% sure) users in my country (and many others I believe, with just a different time interval), except a few ones who agree to pay an extra fee for a fixed IP address.

          Even worse, if I would misbehave right now and you would put me on your IP addresses blacklist, my current address could be reattributed tomorrow to an honest user who would be blocked without having done anything wrong. And I would be able to continue "cluster spamming" with my new address!
