    Hi everyone,

    Cyan has been working hard on improvements to the irc server. He and I have spent a lot of hours recently going through logs, finding bugs and working on improvements. It's important to keep up-to-date with the latest developments.

    Those of your who actually use the network will know we've been under a
    spambot attack. While we've both been trying to mitigate it, there's pretty much an endless onslaught. We've made #synchronet +s for now so you won't see it in /LIST

    Finally, it would be good if sysops could hang out in #synchronet if you're part of the network.

    Finally, finally. please KLINE lalbornoz!~lalbornoz@185.213.155.162 which is a persistent, annoying spambot. Thank you :)

    Hello Nelgin,

    Finally, finally. please KLINE lalbornoz!~lalbornoz@185.213.155.162
    which is a persistent, annoying spambot. Thank you :)

    I know nothing about irc. Is that something each of us need to do?

    I just jumped into the irc section and looked at the help but see nothing about kline in there.

    Ttyl :-),

    IF you run a server then

    /kline lalbornoz!~lalbornoz@185.213.155.162 spambot

    Easy enough. Only applies to those running their own irc server.

    Thanks,
    Nigel

    I have only the synchronet irc interface on the BBS, and the synchronet irc service is listening. Do I need to adjust that listener in some way?

    I have no irc services aside from that.

    Don't worry about it. It appears to have stopped.
