  • QWKnet message filtering by user (twitlist)

    From Belly@1:103/705 to All on Sat Aug 6 00:19:15 2022
    Hi, all...

    Is there currently any way to filter a particular user's posts from a QWK feed?

    Let's say hypothetically that there was a particularly toxic user who dragged down the quality of an entire network - could I block its posts from appearing on my board?

    I perused the Sync wiki and documentation, but didn't find what I needed.

    Thanks in advance,

    Put the name in the twit list file under the Synchronet Control Panel,
    under BBS -> Filters -> Twit List.

    Then, no further posts to or from that user will appear on your system.
    It will show in the Events window that the messages were filtered.

    Thank you! I knew it had to be in there somewhere! I was looking in exactly the wrong place :)
