Do you mean gates it as in to newsgroups?
No, I mean gates as in you can view the content of posts on the open internet in a web browser without any authentication.
It's probably not a bad idea for the network coordinators in the respective othernets to make a decision and remind everyone regarding web availability
of echoes online - it's easy to miss, and easy to forget to check when you make changes to configurations.
Synchronet makes it pretty easy to restrict - anything that the guest user
can see when logged in is what an unauthenticated user sees when browsing
the web. I have mine set to allow local echoes as read-only and you have to log in to get to anything else.
I used to have a robots.txt file in place, but that's only using the honor system for crawlers.
... Curious ideas wait for stranger times
