So like HPT, I built in the idea of read and/or write access to an area. So can you can make some areas read-only and/or write-only.

If you attempt to write to an area that is read-only (or you dont have permission to write because its an area that is writable by others,eg: "private" echoareas), then clrghouz will send you a netmail telling you that your post was not accepted and why (insufficent access).

I've also been toying with the idea to have a voting system. It should be fairly easy for me to know if a node is active (messages being posted from that system), vs a system running on auto-pilot (only receiving messages) - and thus for a voting system, to be able to determine if the majority of active nodes agree to something.

(I was going to implement a way to vote for a new, or retire an old echoarea - and automatically create it when the majority of active nodes agree to have it. Thought it might be something useful, and I was curious if, and how, I could make it work.)

But, I've taken a break from clrghouz - I'm sorting through a gazillion photos and videos to find duplicates (programmatically) - I'm spending most of my time to find the tech specis of AVI and MOV files, as well as JPG and HEIC pictures, and then suck some relevant data out of them and figure out which ones are dupes :)
