He's only made about 275 posts in the past week. Isn't that 'just
observing'?

Not to worry. Beta is going fine and I'll soon offer a "crap free"
option to those that want to read it. Of course, all others are free
to continue to post crap and swear they are trying to "clean up" the
newsgroup.


Gene,
I am curious when you open your server will you allow people access to
your server whose sole purpose of reading rec.boats is to observe and
comment about "rec.boats" being flushed down the toilet, then spend 90%
of their time talking about the Seven Little Schitts? It seems that
that would be counterproductive to your reason for starting a "filtered
server".

Gene,
I am curious when you open your server will you allow people access to
your server whose sole purpose of reading rec.boats is to observe and
comment about "rec.boats" being flushed down the toilet, then spend *90%
of their time talking about the Seven Little Schitts? *It seems that
that would be counterproductive to your reason for starting a "filtered
server".


Sure! The funny thing is.... they can post their patooties off and the
posts will propagate to all servers.... they will just be filtered
from *my* server. So..... if you are getting headers from my server,
their posts will not be available.

The ones that honestly want to end that sort of repartee will be the
ones that choose either to (1) ignore them or (2) download headers
from my server and, thus, not be *tempted*.

I've not bothered to keep up with the rosters of dwarfs... and
whatever faux us-against-them groups. Posts will be dropped, not
specifically because of whom, but *what* is posted.

As necessary, I will drop posting hosts, IP addresses, and ISPs that
can't prove their usefulness.... or perhaps I should say because they
aid and abet USENET vandals.

Did you give me posting permission yet? Yes, for those who were
interested, or pretending they knew what my posting problem was, Gene
had not given me posting rights yet.. Here's a great big pffftttt
for our resident windoze heroes who of course, had no clue...

OK, here we go. I don't know exactly what Gene is doing over there
(well I kinda' do) but it is indeed an interesting setup. Boating
posts get through, even the occasional boating post from wafa.
However, most traffic here "lately" never shows up in the reader, it
gets killed at the server level, way cool. From what I know, the
system does not block individual users or IP's, it blocks garbage, no
matter who posts it. Even when I respond to some ahole like Salty, my
own posts don't get through, but posts to boaters, do. From what I
understand he (Gene) has been working on algorithms that not only
detect the garbage (probably with keywords) but it also detects
patterns that are problematic. Certain posters only argue, certain
patterns emerge in flame fests, the system "knows" that, and those
posts probably won't get through. Being that it would be pretty hard
to keep up with, I imagine the system is somewhat dynamic in it's
monitoring. But again, it does let the good posts through, no matter
who makes them, without killing any particular user or IP.

For those of you who know about this stuff, this is way advanced
programming and of course much more difficult to spoof than a simple
kill file. It is very similar to the algorithms we have developed over
the years for hackers and spam. For those of you who don't, take my
word for it, this will revolutionize wrecked.boats, it will be big.

I have been beta testing with agent 4.2 for about a week and I have
not noticed one "good" post that has been skipped, and similarly, no
idiot posts get through either. On the other hand, it is not a lie
detector, so I will add salty, wafa, and jimh to the local kill file
in my agent, as even their boat related, googled, madeup, whatever
stuff, is of no interest to me. I encourage everyone to use their own
personal KF's along with Gene's programming, a lot of you don't want
to hear from me either;)

And a quick to our windoze heroes and Essex posers, I didn't KF
myself, and it was not a problem on my end, Gene just didn't "turn the
key" yet. . But we all knew that. Server administration is a little
more advanced than being able to change a hdd in a plug and pray
system and calling geek squad to have a router installed;) Like I said
Harry, and Salty, I have been working in this field for a long time.
My wife and I installed and ran several networks in the early 90's
including a T1 supported system that coupled three facilities in CT,
and Mass...It was still fun though to watch the heroes "change
feet".. ;)

Anyway, I encourage anyone sick of the stooges to get with Gene and
set up with his private news server, it is going to change the lives
of quite a few here. Most of the Idiot Narcissists, liars, and
cowardly trolls, will be completely impotent and completely isolated,
unnoticed..... good luck, and have fun, sorry wafa. After over a
decade of mischief, your play time is finally over....;)

Hope you don't need to call your wife's imaginary "special
line". ;) I'm lovin' it, but take your shots now, you won't
have anyone to kick around anymore, after next week... ;) In space, no
one can hear you scream...

This will be my last troll to this group.. I wanna' get through.. but
I had to take one last shot.. It's been fun wafa, salty, jimh, etc.
but it's about to get a lot better.. ;)


And on a separate note. Being in the Admin. business for almost a
decade and a half. My wife has been involved in some revolutionary
language and server development initiatives, some of our security and
tracking systems have moved into main stream use. We have made a lot
of friends, especially in some of the local NOC's when we were setting
up the network for INCO Limited (real fortune 500 for the record wafa)
in the early 90's. It's very interesting how much info one can garner
with a simple phone call to a friend who works at a local switching
station down on the shoreline

This place is gonna' be fun again.. ;)

It works great, I have been reading with it for almost a week.. Get
with Gene and get a log-in, I am sure everyone is welcome, even the
trolls. Like I said, it does not block individuals, only trash, so the
trolls will have to learn to post to usenet to get heard, even if they
are posting through the new server... Most of them however have
already proven they can't post in a monitored group, so we probably
won't see much more of them...;)

Yeah but... half the people who come here (and the majority prance to the
Dwarf Army flag) just come to instigate, irritate and agitate.
It will be interesting to see if they all re-up when all this comes to
pass...even if ordered by the Major John.

Gene: will your server filter out all the trash, including discussions
of golf, motor homes, grandchildren, guitars, et cetera? I guess what I

the posts, or just the headers?

Thanks!

Why, so you can work on getting around it.. it is folks like that who
cause folks like us to work so hard and long.. Telling the secrets
would only make the work harder... Learn to post and not troll, and
you will have no problem...




Yeah, right, I want to post my golf scores, information about my motor
home, photos of my grandchildren and guitars and kiddie motorcycle
racing. The point is, if it doesn't filter out that sort of crap, what's
the point?

Harry,
Yes, the server is set up to remove all off topic discussion except for
daily updates on all UPS shipments going to your house, all references
to what a great marksman you are, photos of Stumpy etc, photos of what
Harry Krause has on his IPOD etc. You know, it removes all off topic
discussions except those that are originated by Harry Krause.

Maybe, but not if they are civil.

I guess what I

Just the ones that people can't handle. Politics, for example. At this
point, I'm not really trying to determine acceptable subjects so much
as I am simple civility.

And does your server read

Both.



Thanks...so when someone like Reggie makes continuously snarky remarks,
or if some remarks are reported to you, will you be able to filter them
or him ...out?

Serious question. I'm interested in the recognition patterns. Reggie
usually tries to veil his snot.

Not to worry. Beta is going fine and I'll soon offer a "crap free"
option to those that want to read it. Of course, all others are free
to continue to post crap and swear they are trying to "clean up" the
newsgroup.

Gene,
I am curious when you open your server will you allow people access to
your server whose sole purpose of reading rec.boats is to observe and
comment about "rec.boats" being flushed down the toilet, then spend *90%
of their time talking about the Seven Little Schitts? *It seems that
that would be counterproductive to your reason for starting a "filtered
server".

Sure! The funny thing is.... they can post their patooties off and the
posts will propagate to all servers.... they will just be filtered
from *my* server. So..... if you are getting headers from my server,
their posts will not be available.

The ones that honestly want to end that sort of repartee will be the
ones that choose either to (1) ignore them or (2) download headers
from my server and, thus, not be *tempted*.

He answered the question...it reads content, too, but he won't filter
out the golf-motorhome-grandchilren-guitars crap. Too bad. That would
cut down on the daily number of posts, and almost totally eliminate the
crap from the Seven Little Schitts.

Gene, you have your own NNTP server?
Yes....

Can we all try it?
That is my intent, for all those really interested in less noise.


Gene: will your server filter out all the trash, including discussions
of golf, motor homes, grandchildren, guitars, et cetera?


Maybe, but not if they are civil.

I guess what I am asking is, what topics will be filtered?


Just the ones that people can't handle. Politics, for example. At this
point, I'm not really trying to determine acceptable subjects so much
as I am simple civility.

And does your server read the posts, or just the headers?


Both.



Thanks...so when someone like Reggie makes continuously snarky remarks, or
if some remarks are reported to you, will you be able to filter them or
him ...out?

Serious question. I'm interested in the recognition patterns. Reggie
usually tries to veil his snot.

Reggie is crap. If Gene filters him out every time he makes a snarky
remark, the world will owe him a debt of gratitude. I'm sure, though,
that I can refilter what Gene filters and keep Reggie where he is
now...in the permanent bozo bin, along with the rest of the Seven Little
Schitts.

...crap from The Seven Little Schitts, some might want a good screen
cleaner:

Not to worry. Beta is going fine and I'll soon offer a "crap free"
option to those that want to read it. Of course, all others are free
to continue to post crap and swear they are trying to "clean up" the
newsgroup.


Gene,
I am curious when you open your server will you allow people access to
your server whose sole purpose of reading rec.boats is to observe and
comment about "rec.boats" being flushed down the toilet, then spend *90%
of their time talking about the Seven Little Schitts? *It seems that
that would be counterproductive to your reason for starting a "filtered
server".


Sure! The funny thing is.... they can post their patooties off and the
posts will propagate to all servers.... they will just be filtered
from *my* server. So..... if you are getting headers from my server,
their posts will not be available.


The ones that honestly want to end that sort of repartee will be the
ones that choose either to (1) ignore them or (2) download headers
from my server and, thus, not be *tempted*.

I am just waiting for you to "turn the key". So far though, things
look good over there, the real idiots are non-existant.. ;)

I think he is working more on content than individuals. Hopefully it
will include "sig files" which are only there to inflame others too.

OK Dwarfs;)... and I am probably the shortest and fattest, let's see
what he has and play the game. This could be the breakthrough we have
all been waiting for.

I like it, everyone can post, they just have to be civil... If there
is anyone in particular you want to plonk, you can add that filter to
your reader locally.

No more name calling from me either.. well, except for us dwarfs..;)
