  • Opinion on giving access to doors

    From Balky@21:1/192 to All on Saturday, December 24, 2016 19:21:00
    Hi everyone,

    Merry Christmas and a happy new year! :) I'd like to get your opinion when granting access to door games. Do you allow new and unverified users to
    access door games? I'm currently thinking of doing or not doing this. Thanks.

    I would say this depends on whether you anticipate problems with problem
    users coming back under a new name after they have been banned for bad behaviour.

    Well I give full access to all and every thing, except post to message nets . they can read them all they want but posting needs access. I do this for new
    to bbsers to give them the best experience and most fun we can offer..

    And to you :)

    when granting access to door games. Do you allow new and unverified

    I don't, I allow access to the menu but I make it clear when they sign up as unvalidated 'new users' that access to post to message bases, download files and play door games will be allowed when they are validated. That's just my preference for running the BBS but others will likely have different ways of doing so. In the end how you choose to run it is entirely up to you :)

    Best, Paul

    Merry Christmas and happy new year back to you;)
    I allow all to access the games I have right from the start. The MPL games I see no way of hacking in to to cause problems it's just Linux based ones that can cause an issue (I have no dos based ones). Everyone has access to local board areas as well, just echomail ones that need validation. There's a lot
    of trying to hack in and DOS attacks but few have caused real trouble as yet.

    why restrict them? users are hard enough to come by nowdays anyhow.

    I auto-validate on new account just to make the experience easier and allow them to explore and see the old school BBS world.

    Cheers!
