   The mute can be implemented until that person understands that     
   being on-topic is essential.   
      
   Personally, I find that kind of feature to be a very good tool     
   for a moderator managing a user on Telegram.  Fidonet doesn't     
   have any easy equivalent to that - except for posting repeated     
   requests to stop, or inform all the bbs systems in the feeds     
   to cut the person off - which is a lot of time and work.
