  • Should VERT/ALT119 have posting priveleges revoked?

    From Nightfox@VERT/DIGDIST to All on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 08:15:16
    I've been seeing a bunch of what look like automated bot posts, with usernames that change, from the system with QWK ID "VERT/ALT119" (the origin line still says "My Brand-New BBS"). I wonder if posting priveleges from this BBS should be revoked?

    Yep, Maybe DM can remove his BBS from Dove-Net? or is he calling from someones BBS that allow's unverified users to post?

    It's times like this where I wish I could just put in "VERT/ALT119" in the twitlist to cut off these bot farms with ONE LINE.
