hi there !

i just sat down and watched the search monitor of my client and actually i came (once again) to the impression that half of the searches must be made by perverted or peedos... i guess all of u will know what i mean.

well but what made me think is, that actually, as i am part of the network, i help those people to find their sick stuff... and actally this is one of the downsides of gnutella...

now i came to an idea... maybe it's unrealistic or whatever but right now it seems plausible to me:

what about a filter that simply drops all of these ill searches ???

i don't care if some sick person gets off by watching even sicker women with animals but when it comes to children thats where i draw the line...

now if one could simply analyse all search requests on your pc and simply drop all of them that match a special (maybe editable !!?) keyword-list.
as soon as there were more clients in the network that had a feature like that, searches for these kinds files would be very very effectively made more difficult.

just imagine what would happen if only 20% of all gnutella clients had this feature enabled... this would cause hell lot of problems for those seaches...

and actually i don't think that it is very difficult to implement.
and every single client would help to get this problem under a certain control. i guess this is a feature, that would really differ one client from another not just differences in the GUI. and if the other coders do also implement it in thier clients, then there u have the best filter possible in gnutella...

just some thoughts... hey gnutella coders, is that possible ??? couldn't you implement something like that ??? i think u would really help the comunity with it...

thanks for reading, bye
