One of the unfortunate results of the internet cluster system are the idiots who flood the system with semi flames, intentionally phony spots.
Mini announce/full firefights have become routine. DX Net members who spot each and every net station. But the worst are the lids using profanity in their firefights. As far as I can tell from studying the three major Clusters softwares, there is very little that can be done to filter these types of behaviour. set/noannounce eliminates proper announcements. even set/nodxdedx has it's disadvantages to some. I can see no way around this problem without program specific filtering options like you can set in your email client to bann spam. Actually I think 'spam' is a good analogous term for this problem. I never considedred myself thinskined, but I find some of the Cluster Crabs to be ruining my enjoyment of the hobby. Sorry, down from soapbox.
