<br>
DXSpider was written because, in the 1990s (yes, it's been going
that long), there was a situation where anybody could disconnect
someone on another node, at any time. And there was a (sub)
command to do that disconnection "silently", i.e. just as though
the connection dropped. A sysop could read another node's logs to
see what someone "was up to" and also interfere generally with
that node as though he (and all sysops were male) was in control.

<br>
I make no apology for making that sort of thing difficult ->
nearly impossible. But I am open to adding code to allow something
more nuanced in the way of remote control. But I am constantly
aware that this could and, sadly, might well be abused. <br>

<div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__">The dxcluster network is most
vulnerable due to the unresponsiveness of some administrators
so enabling registration on well maintained systems does not
provide a permanent solution. dxcuster programs should be
designed in such a way that it is possible to disconnect the
malicious system remotely from the network with super user
administrator rights. We are far from such a solution due to
the facts described above and fight spammers to the best of
our abilities.</div>
