  • Blocking certain people when reading posts

    From The Avenger@VERT to All on Fri Jun 11 18:10:43 2021
    Hey folks!

    I'm just now getting back in to BBSing, and for the most part it's great. DoveNet seems to have a lot of activity.

    But it seems like in anything these days that some people are just full of themselves and spoil it for others.

    Is there an easy way in Synchronet to block posts from certain people? It would make reading and posting on here much more enjoyable.

    Thanks!
