some crazy Chat I can't dismiss
 

I'm Running Shareaza 2.7.10.2
Skorpion Chat 185.180.206.41:58111

Something called Skorpion shows up as a chat request, I guess- I don't know how it got there, and when I try to dismiss it, it doesn't go away. Instead it goes into a countdown from 60 (60 and some text, then 59 and some test, all the way to zero.) When it gets there, a whole page of what appears to be Polish language text appears. Will NOT go away. Anybody know how to help?
:bangh:

We are not normally keen on host ip addresses posted on the forum for privacy reasons (unless it is a BOT.) However you should be aware that is a vps (Virtual private server) and the user might actually be from any country. I'm personally quite a bit wary when I see hosts using a VPS as compared to VPN's. This is due to the 'possibility' of robotic or BOT (pre-programmed, generally fake ID's) types of behaviour. In your experience it sounds like a BOT. However I might be wrong. Regardless it is still misbehaviour and you need to question the motivations of the host.
Add the ip address to the Shareaza hostiles/blocklist whilst the program is closed before you start a new session. See if that helps.

Almost irrelevant but the BearShare, LimeWire, Cabos, Acqlite and WireShare hostiles blocklists have that ip address range blocked.

I've noticed at least a couple of types of BOTs are now using Shareaza as their ID for G1 and G2.

Netname: Hekko_VPS_Servers.

Thank you, LotR. I didn't know there was a Shareaza blocklist. How do I do that?

I confess I've never added a blocklist for Shareaza so I cannot give you specific 'how to' details. But check Shareaza • View topic - All-In-One AntiSpam Filter [Aug-14-2011] however this list looks a little old.

Once you have the blocklist you can manually add the address to the file, perhaps before you install it.
Whilst the BearShare hostiles had 185.180.0.0/16 blocked, you might go smaller scale and instead either add:
185.180.206.41

Or add both:

185.180.204.0/22
185.180.208.0/22
which covers the Hekko_VPS_Servers range where that misbehaviour was coming from.

I don't know whether Shareaza now has an auto-hostiles update system. (WireShare does, but WireShare also blocks a few types of BOTs by default using other techniques. That includes the reknown spam-BOT.)
