Good valid points! It seems there's no easy answers! I was hoping you might have some suggestions.???
I've noticed, particularly recently, when searching for music or other multimedia, identical/similar pseudonym named files show up that are jpg's of a link to a website. It's a girl meets boy chat website. It seems to have targeted many of the more popular searches. If that's not deliberate spam, then what is it?
A couple of weeks ago (unless I'm mistaken) I thought I came across a post which named a website/forum/email address where people could list corrupt files found on the Gnutella netwk. Despite a couple of hrs searching I haven't been able to locate it (perhaps I'm not using the right s. criteria. It might have been in a 'Sticky' thread.)
I was tempted to include links to several threads that discussed similar issues but since it has been discussed in parts before, I decided why bother. There's not been much interest shown in this thread anyway! Everybody knows it's a problem & that it's getting worse, but all people seem to want to do is temporarily vest their anger/frustration (using the forum as an outlet). No positive suggestions about how to overcome these issues. Although I did come across one thread that one party admitted to talking to the FBI about disclosing the addresses of those who indulge in under-age porn (ie-browsing of their computers listed high no's of such content.)
Perhaps this was a wasted attempt to expand this thread. OK windup time!
