User paging restrictions.
These constants outline the user's preferred restrictions on incoming pages from other users. The following mutually exclusive constants are available:
- PGS_OFF
- The user wants to receive no pages from other users.
- PGS_ON
- The user will accept pages, but with a minimum of pagetime minutes in between pages. The pagetime field is in the user account structure, useracc_t.
- PGS_OK
- The user will always accept pages, regardless of their number and frequency.
- PGS_STORE
- Just like PGS_OK, but pages to the user sent while the user is busy (i.e. when the OLF_BUSY flag is set in their onlinerec_t) will be stored by the system and sent to the user en masse as soon as the OLF_BUSY flag is cleared. This is the default state on our system, since it guarantees that pages to the user will not be lost. Historically, it dates all the way back to 1992, when it was one of our most favoured additions to the source of the Major BBS.
Please note that any restrictions imposed above do not apply to users with the USY_SYSOP privilege flag. Even if a user is in the PGS_OFF state, an operator can page them as if they were in the PGS_STORE state.
