Apex Features Post 003 by Freebow

I have found this feature which allows to add a file from a search menu into ADLSearch but only as TTH. I think that this is not good idea because most of "sick porn" files we kick because of their title - not content. That way someone can change a file name and it will stil have same TTH with nothing wrong in filename and nothing wrong in video or picture file. It would be nice just an option which adds file name to adl search as forbidden or something.

...and also TTH, and auto-showing all users sharing it? Then it will be easier to kick and ban. I am sometimes playing to make an alternates search for such a file, and it is showing many, many users b*stards.

Hmmmm Like I said when it consider kicking sick porn from hubs TTH can lead you to a mistake. For example 98% of files are not a sick porn but have that key words in filename to attrack sick people which are easy with the money for that stuff (not in dc++ world but on xxx sites). Considering song duplicates it is tottaly OK. Or movies and things like that. But I am talking about ADLS. In that client which I tested (sorry - no names) there is an option for TTH only. It would be really nice if in Apex should exist function to add files from regular search into ADLSearch but with filename not TTH... Also REGEXP in ADLSearch would be great option.

My point of view is that if a person has such files, either misnamed or real, he is sick. Why otherwise a normal man would download a file with such name?). And I do not like having sick people in hub. However sometimes it is really hard to decide, if it is a single *NastyName*.jpg in a folder with 100-200 or more pics. It looks like a chain mistake when user accidentally downloads from a sick person. But everyone is resposible to maintain a clean share.

P. S. I just thought of a feature request, stay tuned. It will be very easy imo.

Edit: Erm, we have it... please let's test, if we put in Settings>Advanced>Share Skiplist patterns similar to ADLS content (f. ex. "*preteen porn*.*;*sick porn*.*"), will we be able to share such forbidden files. Pls guide me whether the example pattern should be improved in some way. If not able, which I guess will be the case, Apex may come by default with suck a list entered, like the TGO hub in Favs. I believe no one will object, even the sick persons will save some nerves if not being kicked.

Uh man. I like Your posts. And You are helping me from the start. But it seems that You dont understand me... or I dont understand You... For example: Every OP kicks because of the filename - not because of the real file contents (considernig sick porn). If the filename changes and the file dont contain sick porn - there is no reason to kick that person. You ofcourse know that when You change file name file still has same TTH !!! Thats why you can add a files TTH into ADL search and after that kick other guy which have for example some erotic picture or movie with the same TTH. There is no reason to kick a guy for sick porn if he have blondegirlnude.jpg in a share and the picture is normal xxx. The problem is that at the other guys share this very same picture with same TTH was named *NastyName*.jpg. And it is not the TTH which decides if the file is wrong but simply his filename...

Uh about that feature you are suggesting... Wont we help sick people to hide their download files and maybe they could download something that will not trigger pattern which is listed and share that sick stuff with others? And then the other guy could do the same sharing not triggered file with others? Uhhhh I dont know. Maybe more comments should help...

No hard feelings mate, we are on the same side...

Sorry... it exist and it is ok. It helps more then it could harm. hm. Imagine that feature separately for each hub. In the hubs where movies are forbidden you can enter *mpg;*avi;*mpeg... etc.etc. Separately... that would be a great feature.. dont you think? I am a bit tired.... uh...

I think your missing the point.

We dont want either sick files, or good files with sick names, both are sick, and we dont want them. PERIOD!

as for your picture of the file with the sick name, you really really shouldnt have postede that. one might suggest you posses such a file. Think on this.

Well it was my mistake at the first place. It should be posted somewhere considering OP version of Apex. I dont have that file - I have found it on one of the hubs wher I am an OP. Please read again. I am talking about sick names on good files which have been renamed and become good files :)

OK, I think I have it... Most of the misnamed files afaik are notorious. So we are dealing with only a few TTH-es. What I guess we might do - adding a sub-option to ADLS: "...but use color X instead of color Y when reporting in MC, if file TTH matches one of the following: TTH1; TTH2; etc.". In this way, OPs will have some chance to show a little mercy, if TTH is matched. But if it is not matched, and after a short real check of the file, the user should be banned forever and for good.

Uh mate. Yes You got it. You are working really hard. Thanks. I also spend much time trying to suggest some things.

I thinking.... at this moment... maybe the best thing to do is just to ad a filename search to adls instead of TTH. No TTH at all. So if he have a filename with that words checked - its ok Cheers mate. PS: I am working on some gfx of HUB Properties. It took me much time but... I like it...
