Password protected preferences for adult material
 

Please consider adding a password option to the adult material and/or search keywords preferences. Those of us with children or those who would just rather not be exposed to all the porn would appreciate it.

I too would find this very helpfull indeed.
I have small kids who are very tech literate(!)
I also run a small business, and would like to allow employees access to the gnutella network without being able to view porn.
<plead>Please,please,please build it in! you know you want to.</plead>
<bribe>I'll buy limewire pro if you do!</bribe>

I too would like this feature. I have an addiction to pornography, and am not able to have limewire etc as it is too much of a temptation.

How exactly do you tell that it is porn?

All of the netnanny software and the like block a lot of legitimate software and don't block all possible porn.

It is possible to block out keywords and particular types of files under options|filter - there's even an adult content filter that you just have to tick. It isn't, however, password protected.

precisely. I think he is asking for that checkbox to be password protected, if someone wants to uncheck it.

It's just a few lines in the source code, you'd have to change to set the adult filter to always on.

If you'd compile the source code yourself (it's less challenging, than it sounds) it wouldn't be a problem to do it.

I don't expect it to always be perfect - as MamiyaOtaru said I just want to be able to have that checkbox always on.

The last coding I did (apart from a smattering of HTML and Applescript) was in BBC BASIC - just how easy is it to mess with the code and recompile?

Well you will have to download a "JDK" (for free) from http://java.sun.com and you will need "ant" from http://jakarta.apache.org/.

Download the complete source code from http://www.limewire.org (you'll have to use a cvs client, further instructions on the homepage).

In the file core/limegroup/gnutella/SpamFilter.java you have to edit line 39:
Replace
boolean filterAdult=settings.getFilterAdult();
with
boolean filterAdult=true;

Compile LimeWire and create the .jar files.

aah. unfortunately, as I'm running Mac OSX, most of that stuff ain't yet available for me, or at least I can't see it on the SUN site and the ...I forgot to mention that earlier.

Hello!

A password protection function to bann and prevent any porn material to be searched accessed or viewed by a certain user/users is a function that sure would be wanted for certain people but such a function is not possible and that is because of the curse of Meta information.A porn bann filter would just bann the most evident words such as porn,lolita,sex etc but the persons/companys that do distribute porn fill their files with meta tags and words that has nothing to do with porn att all even if you just perform a search on such a innocent word such as LimeWire you would still find some porn files in the results list.
