I think you can add the people you don't want to receive telegrams from
to the file ~/.nowrite. Then your login script (.profile, .zshrc,
whatever) should execute the command mesg -ye (thats accept messages
with exceptions).
Someone will hopefully correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Thanks for the .nowrite info. I already had such a file with a few variants
of polytarp in it, and it had never worked. I added to .cshrc 'mesg -ye'.
I don't suppose there is an easy way to set up 'tel' not to send telegrams
to more than one person in one minute. You don't want to block someone from
sending multiple telegrams to one person, because that is the only way some
people have figured out to communicate - during the first five tels I attempt
to teach them to use 'talk' or even email instead.

While adulations from me are hardly worth much in the way of respect on Grex,
I'd like to thank mcnally for being the person to finally put ryan in his
place.

Please ignore that offensive comment by nharmon ; I truly and utterly believe
mcnally to be a great staff member and all-around Alaskian.

Re #26: "amin" is a way to indicate to someone that you're busy with
something and would rather not be bothered, but it doesn't block them if
they decide to go ahead and write you anyway.

Umm, yes it does John - if you pass it the correct argument (like I
specified).

However, amin blocks everybody, which you might not want to do. If you
want to filter selectively without blocking everyone, then .procmailrc
(for mail), :ignore (for party), and .nowrite (for write/tel/talk) are
tools designed for that purpose. I use 'em, and I agree with mcnally
that barring users for bad taste, besides being difficult to implement
from a technical standpoint, isn't what Grex is about.

This same user (triludaa)has in the past used his grex email
priviledges to mail bomb other users. One night he used one of his
known other grex emails to flood by email box with close to 10,000
emails. I complained to staff and provided clear evidence that he did
this, and staff did nothing. I thought staff could have reported that
activity, and I'm sure I wasn't the only user he used grex to mailbomb,
to his ISP at the least. On another occasion, he changed his .forward
file on his "triluda" account to my email address, so that any email
sent to him by staff went to me. Staff reset his password and
the .forward file was taken out and that is why he is now "triludaa"
with two a's, because he had to get a new login.
he's a troublemaker who has no desire to use grex in a proper manner,
and who seems to only desire to find new ways to abuse it. What do you
do about users like this?

Basically you have two choices:
1) Turn off newuser
2) Learn to live with them.
We've already had a long period this year without newuser and people
weren't very happy about it. And we can take actions to mitigate some
of the more common misbehaviors. But *some* level of annoyance is
always going to be present on an open system.

i agree with ryan. in fact, grex should close its doors period. shut down
and never turn on. or we can stop new user ban me, naftee, scholar and a whole
host of others so it's just down down krj, bru, ryan and his mother. if you
choose to do that grex should change its name to children of corn!
