how to help with Bouncer account monitoring

  • check support email for new account registrations
  • when they come, 'cd /home/gry/znc; ksh u.sh NICK >> users/NICK.txt; ksh comp.sh NICK | head -n 5' It will show you which existing users this user is similar to based on nick, ctcp response, ip, etc. for each nick pair, write 'comm -12 users/NICK1.txt users/NICK2.txt' to see which fields are common. if this user is similar to an existing abuser then no further action is required
  • if the new user isn't similar to an abuser then you need to approve their account. first go to https://bnc.lecturify.net and unblock their account. then forward the email that you've received to support, as instructed in its first paragraph - delete this first paragraph and forward the rest of the email
