  • Shuttle/Matrix auto validation?

    From Alpha@25:25/0 to All on Fri Nov 17 11:42:57 2023
    I'm using the Shuttle/Matrix Menu, which back in the day we used to weed out the known lamers and leeches, right? I like the look and feel of a Matrix, but I want to auto-validate users who sign-up. Is this possible?

    There's the password validation option in RG, but that only works with non-matrix logins.

    I also tried using the NEWUSER.INA infoform (;V50) but that didn't seem to work...

    I feel like if I don't autovalidate folks might never come back :)

    Why even both with that, change user #0 ( / from the user editor) to whatever sec. level you want and all new users will be that level.

    Okay, another question in thie area. When a new user signs up, the 'send email to sysop' doesn't appear to be working. It appears it's triggered by a menu command that's no longer working (looking at the notes in NEWUSER.PAS).

    I can't rule out I've done something wrong of course, but that seems to be the source.

    Is there another way to force a new user email to the sysop? Maybe use the
    "ME" menu command instead... I may have just answered my own question, LOL.

    Thanks for all the help here, I hope this is the right area for these kinds of questions...
