Admin / Sysop Question

From vaelen@21:1/141 to All on Tue Apr 16 10:57:33 2024

Hey folks. Please let me know if there is a better place to post this. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to track what posts have come from my BBS in the last X days. Someone logged on to the BBS and posted some offensive spam and I just want to make sure it didn't get out to fsxNet too.

Thanks,
Vaelen

I would tend to think your BBS logs would be the best place to start as you will be able to see (depending on your software) what has been exported from your message areas and sent onwards.

I don't have a stats tool running at the moment that would generate this info for you based on node address sending to the 1/100 HUB. I did have something that would give an indication of such when I was running the 1/100 under windows but that tool no longer would work for the Linux OS I'm running the HUB under now.

The other way I can think I might be able to see would be to use my BBS search to scan for posts based on your origin line, but am unsure if search picks that up, would need to try.

this does work for me in Mystic and I can see a couple of those spam 'chip girl' posts from your system in fsxNet. One in the General echo and another in the BBS echo (from memory).
