45 | You did not ask a memo question that has an answer, you made a feature | |
46 | request. The nick prefix has nothing to do with memos. | |
47 | ||

56 | I assume the developer decided that but I am more than happy for it to | |
57 | be that way and would request it to be so or avoid the package if it was | |
58 | not. Users may have linked nicks that they do not want everybody to know | |
59 | of. Allowing access to any user will mean they just register separate | |
60 | nicks again which is more work for them and defeats the advantages of | |
61 | the link system. | |
62 | ||
63 | ><i> Frankly, logonnews is useless, and most of my users and opers | |

70 | That is hardly a services issue. The IRCd would be the place to add | |
71 | false delays into the login process. | |
72 | ||
73 | I doubt users would welcome having a connection to the network paused | |
74 | for such a reason. | |
75 | ||
76 | ><i> Most users I know don't tend to make a | |
77 | </I>><i> habit of readin gth ebacklog in their status windows when | |
78 | </I>><i> they connect to the network...... | |
79 | </I> | |
80 | Many users do not check memos on a regular basis either so spamming via | |
81 | memoserv would just fill their memo box and they are still are not | |
82 | guaranteed to be read. They could also add you to their ignore list so | |
83 | your message would not get through in any case. | |
84 | ||
85 | ><i> Anyhow these were just friendly suggestions, tryign to solve | |

87 | </I>><i> one or two others out there think my ideas are dumb for them, | |
88 | </I>><i> obviously I ought to abandon them, because they MUST be dumb" | |
89 | </I>><i> That attitude is ignorant, and I think my suggestions had | |

91 | </I>><i> you did not suggest any useful alternatives or workarounds... | |
92 | </I> | |
93 | You stated in your original message that there were alternative services | |
94 | packages that provide this. You also said you would not consider using | |
95 | logonnews. Pointing out the obvious seemed a pointless exercise. | |
96 | ||
97 | As suggested above, "mass memos" would not solve your "problem". | |
