Temp Ban On Virus Sharers

[panthos]

:angry: Why can't people who share bad files (files with viruses) be temporarily banned? I dl'd a file a long time ago called popup defender 6.5 and found it to be infected. Today I looked for popup defender and the same infected version was found by a multitude of users. Get these people out of here, or at least temporarily until they get the message.

it's not possible

kazaa doesn't identify unique users

Messaging doesn't really work. I tried and no one accepts them.

If everyone used static IP addresses, you could theoretically filter out the IPs from virus-sharers, it's been done to filter out supposed RIAA IP blocs (not an SP).
