Default Re: On its way

At some point Gnutella will definitely need a way to block spammers/spoofers.

This should be built into the protocol - ignoring certain IP addresses for a few hours and propagation of those banned addresses among ultrapeers.

Without this, Gnutella will die within six months as all the results returned will be useless - either porn spam or RIAA fakes.
