Default Advertising thru phony posts

Is it possible to ban IP addresses of those responsible for advertising using phony postings?
I am starting to learn that small, say 1,034 MB files, show up in a series at the beginning of the searches. They also contain viruses, and if this continues to be the case, I will go back to DC++, where this type of activity has been banned.

DC hubs are under the complete control of the host/OPs...and of course the kwality of an individual hub is determined by the kwality of the host/OPs....

hence you CANNOT compare a completely open network such as gnutella to dc hubs....

what you need to do is learn which files are fake (which is many times obvious) and it helps to use the bitzi lookup command...


just the 2¢ of a former maniac OP of a 9 hub network....

You can ban ip's, but often their ip's are dynamic. So one day they may have one ip & the next a different one. But then some other sucker has got that banned ip. WHich is bad for them, & potentially bad for you since if you ban a lot of ip's, some of those you may want to connect to in the future but can't.
