Freenet Messaging System
Freenet Messaging System or FMS is a spam-resistent message board application for Freenet. It was designed to address problems with Frost such as denial of service attacks and spam. Users publish trust lists, and each user only downloads messages from identities they trust and identities trusted by identities they trust. If person A trusts person B, and person B trusts person C, then person A can trust person C – and so on. If a user proves to be untrustworthy, by spamming for example, then users can change their trust rating for that user, and this will propagate through the trust web, so that others quickly stop pulling messages from the spammer’s outbox.
To allow new users to join the web of trust, FMS employs a mechanism based on the concept of CAPTCHAs. Every FMS user inserts these CAPTCHA tests, which can then be solved by a new user in order of that person to become minimally trusted by the existing user.
FMS is developed anonymously and can be downloaded from the FMS freesite<ref>https://127.0.0.1:8888/USK@0npnMrqZNKRCRoGojZV93UNHCMN-6UU3rRSAmP6jNLE,~BG-edFtdCC1cSH4O3BWdeIYa8Sw5DfyrSV-TKdO5ec,AQACAAE/fms/-104/ FMS Freesite</ref> within Freenet. It does not have an official site on the normal Internet. It is the currently most advanced messaging system for Freenet,[citation needed] as it features random post delay, support for many identities, and a distinction between trusting a user's posts and trusting their trust list. It is written in C++ and is a separate application from Freenet.
