[Dxspider-support] filter question "user_default"

[Dirk Koopman]

I'm sorry but I don't think I can do this. Also, I'm not at all 
convinced that it's a good idea because filtering is not intuitive - 
especially when layering one filter upon another.

I'm struggling to see a reason why you would want to control or even 
influence what a user filters. I guarantee that users will want things 
that you have applied filters to.

If you want to control what your node will allow (e.g. by_zone 2,3,4) 
then the way to deal with that is with input filters or even better set 
the (output) filters for your node on your feeder node (using e.g. rcmd 
<feeder node callsign> accept/spot by_zone 2,3,4). This means that your 
feeder nodes won't send you spots that you don't want. I believe this is 
used a lot in the US. If you do this, you should still set an input 
node_default filter to catch any ephemeral nodes that connect to you.
