synchronet absolutely does not work well against attackers.
if there's attackers hitting the bbs, it slows it down for users that are actually using the system.

i dont want 1 or 2 nodes tied up all night.
that's why i block and they go in the firewall.

i give them a couple of tries.  who has problems with their terminals?
