Hello Carlos!

But a sysop has great power to delete/block a user at any time.  
The only issue might be if a bbs operates on auto-pilot for  
most of the time and the sysop doesn't check in.  But even  
then, their uplink can block input from that bbs.

Sure.. some nefarious posts/links might get through, but they  
would be shortlived in the ftn way of doing things.

BTW, managing nefarious users is super easy in the Tg-BBS  
system.  First, a user needs to "register" with the bot - it  
would be nearly impossible to automate the process. Next, it  
they post an unacceptable message, the user can be blocked/ 
banned in one step. That user would be hard-pressed to try  
posting again - they would need to establish a new registration  
(ie. new SIM or phone number) with Tg in the first place.
