Hi there,

Can someone tell me if the ability to find porn even with the filter enabled is being fixed or if it is fixed yet.

I have enclosed a screenshot of both the porn found when I searched for "all" through everything as well as my Searching tab in Preferences.

Regards

The porn filter only filters out terms like:
porn, sex, nude, ****, *** etc...
Facial is not really porn-related, so it hasnt been filtered out.
I think there will always be porn you can download, even with filter. What if there's a file called
01.mpg
or
Nanny.mpg ?
Who said it was porn??

If you dont want to see porn, just dont download.

Paradog,

It's not as easy as you think it is just to "not download it". If you have children like myself then you should know that you can not monitor them all the time while they are on the Internet.

I still believe that it is a 50/50 responsibility for the software developer and the parent to regulate the Internet.

The parent sets the time and what the child can/can not access while the software should be able to provide the option of blocking certain words or phrases and have that option being able to be locked and hopefully not easily altered via the registry or a INI file.

Well that's my $0.02.

XoloX's filter IS extensive but is meant to just filter out the most common porn terms. So there is no 'fix' , should you be able to edit and filter out your own search terms? ( whether porn or not)..... yes i agree it would be beneficial and once all spec updates are done - those issues will next be addressed. At the moment xolox's main focus is becoming more efficient and healthy for both user's and the gnutella network.

In my opinion - The only way they'd be completely safe is if you moniter their every minute. Does Internet Explorer have a porn filter? You should be concerned of porn via http , if your kids want it.. they will get it.

Making the password impossible to retrieve would not be very practical . If your kids know how to edit the registry, what makes you think they would not know of other means to get what they want? Honestly... be practical. You'd be better off talking to your kids because porn is ALL over the net. XoloX does try to filter out as much porn as is reasonably possible - but it never claimed to be full proof as it could never be as such.
If your kids are under 13... they shouldn't even be on the forums or chat .

Why not add a coustomizable list of words to block? It would allow parents to decide. A default button should also be included, to reset the list to the current defaults.

Thats possible in Gnucleus.

I was hoping that it would be implemented in Xolox.

Yeah I understand that.
But those filtersoftwares can be bypassed easily.
I dont know, I think it would be better to discuss this matter
with the children than simply to forbid those things.
You know that forbidden things always attract kids?

That is not the point. If i really wanted to things so that it was impossable to find porn, I'd lock my kids in seperate cement rooms. Not a very good idea. These things must be explianed to all children when the time comes, but not too early. Even with understanding, there is a big difference to running into porn occasionally when you did not mean to and having it shoved in your nose. When there are one or two file they tend to be ignored with the rest of the files that don't match. When there are seven or eight, it is just too conspicuous to ignore. It is lke the difference between you hiding you playboys in you room (where kids aren't soppost to go) over the basment (kids can go there anytime).
