Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

I was thinking in a digg style algorithm, in which the "the front page" ip's would be blocked. If an ip doesn't get dugged constantly with time it would get buried (not blocked). This would prevent that some people block some uploaders because that people would be numerical small (i hope so) compared with the real users that would dugg the real spammers! I know that the digg algorithm has some problems... but this is just a suggestion, a gnutella Manifest0 anti-spammers!  Cheers  |

| That might die quite quickly. There are more than 1 million live clients at any time, so you'd get more diggs than a normal webserver can handle... At the moment we have one person who collects fakes and spammers and passes them on to the programmers. But a lasting solution to Spam would be great nontheless... If you want to get some infos on the current discussions on spam, you can have a look at the gdf mailing list: the_gdf : The Gnutella Developer Forum (GDF)

 ),but a story can reach the front page with 300 diggs or even less. This means that the real spammers ip only need to have more diggs than the real uploaders that are dugged. There's no need to everyone dugged someone. The people will digg if they are getting spam. Well i think that only with a collaborative thing we can beat the spam. Quote:
How do i report? If someone has a computer virus will we block his ip despite e has good files? Quote:
Maybe this lasts posts may be moved to somewhere, because they aren't a "real" suggestion. Cheers |

| Something which has been in discussion from time to time but which lacked a developer with time to implement it, is avaible via Credence (which sadly was a university project and died when the students thesis was done): Credence: Thwarting P2P Pollution Credence does decentral spam marking and detection, and if it would be implemented in Phex, it could give Phex a real boost. But I assume that it will be quite much work...

| I was looking at credence, and it has four big problems, imho: 1- It's dead (or at least appears to be) 2- The users have to finish the download in order to vote. This doesn't make much sense since it's possible to preview the files. 3- It relies on sha1 to vote. The sha1sum of a downloaded file isn't the same sha1sum of the same file ready to download, because of the bogus SHA1sum. 4- A bad named file would give the users that voted thumbs down a worst "karma", and therefore getting more spam. |

| In the case of bad-named files, the user can just vote the name down /in the last version). In the case of a spoofed sha1-sum and a wrongly delivered file, verification of the file should show that it is a bogus-file (hashing after the download finished), but that's not yet integrated into Phex (but I assume it will be with TTH). If it was changed to rely on tigertree hash (TTH, which Gregor is implementing right now into Phex) instead of only sha1, the chunks could directly be verified, and the first few chunks would show the file to be wrong. Finishing the file before voting is necessary, at least for positive votes, because else the users could vote up a file which is only garbled at the end. And for negative votes it's also necessary because else the program can't verify, if the file really has the sha1-sum. For TigerTree Hashes that could also vanish. And Credence is a way of verifying files decentrally, not just the program (which is dead, because LimeWire didn't carry it over). And that way could be carried over, but Phex would need an additional programmer for this (who would take it as main goal to implement Credence in Phex, and maybe improving it). One more problem was, that it relied on centrally distributed key-files, but that could be removed (it was only a draft of a real system, and they planned to switch to a cryptographic generation inside the clients, but didn't carry on to do so).
