    Hello Saki and all,<br>
    <br>
    I'm agree with you, infact I've marked F8DGY as "badspotter" and, in
    addition, I've locked him out of my node.<br>
    In my opinion, the best way - at the moment and with the various
    software available as dxcluster node server - is that on every node
    the owner/sysop enable the user registration and apply a login
    password for every registered user (in this way the callsign abuse
    should be more difficult); furthermore, every sysop should watch its
    users...<br>
    <br>
    ...added my 2 cents too... <br>

          <div>Salut Pat,</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>obviously you mean the spots from F8DGY. This operator
            seems not willing to cooperate and both the cluster
            developers and the RBN devs are aware about this issue we're
            currently facing. There are a lot of complaints around the
            net and there even were a lot of complaints about this user
            in the past years.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>I already did send a suggestion through the list and
            showed with basic command how to block/ban spots from this
            user F8DGY but unless all (!) cluster sysops will add the
            particular reject filter to their node, it won't happen
            anything. Me myself, I blocked this spotter callsign from my
            own node at <a href="http://dd5xx.dxcluster.net:7000" target="_blank">dd5xx.dxcluster.net:7000</a> and I am clear of this
            spammer abusing the cluster. To my knowledge there seems
            either no technical way or no interest from the DX cluster
            developers to implement a "global" reject rule into their
            software (DXspider, ARcluster, CC, ...)</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>I have no clue how else we can prevent such spammers
            abusing the cluster network.</div>
