Re: Block User from Ratflector?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have sent a polite and friendly cease and desist request to the two Portuguese hams who were spamming our WA7DRE ratflector with QST messages.? Fortunately, their contact info was available on QRZ.? One did not respond, but did stop sending unwanted QST's. The other kept spamming.

I sent another email to that one today.? He responded immediately to my message.? He politely apologized and stated that he has already stopped the sending of QST messages.? He writes in perfect English.? Problem solved.

I would love to see a callsign based blocking feature in a future version of D-RATS though.? There is a similar callsign based blocking feature in the DPLUS gateway for D-STAR transmissions, but Robin told me himself, it does not work because it was never implemented. Even though the config file leads you to believe it would.

Could it be it is because that there was nobody doing d-rats development since 2010, and back then nobody was trying to kick people out without trying to solve issues first?

If your first step is blocking and requesting passwords instead of a friendly message exchange, don't be surprised if you will find yourself in that same situation.

I'm surprised this was never implemented. But perhaps nobody became that annoying back then to require it
