Fake child porn rooms on winmx

[Blitzen]

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that according to the chat rooms list theres 2 openly advertised child porn rooms, its not good for winmx to have these kind of scum using the network.

It seems the above rooms are not real and infact the chat rooms list has been flooded with loads of fake rooms !!! theres rooms listing from years ago but on trying to enter nothing happens. Iam seeing over 1700 rooms.

Those rooms used to be on WinMX a long time ago, but were investigated and shut down. All that you can do is report them http://www.virtualglobaltaskforce.com/index.asp

They ain`t real rooms omega i don`t know how but the rooms list for me anyway is showing loads of rooms from years ago. Iam running winmx on secondary and tried many refreshes but the rooms keep appearing like ghosts of the past !!

[Stevi]

Ok, but you can still report them, and maybe the person/persons doing the flooding will get busted and the flooding will stop. Just a thought...

Theres hundreds of fake rooms and all different hashes it brings back allot of memories seeing some of the old rooms listed, you can`t get in them .

Heres a few more samples of fake rooms that i know closed years ago

I could go on but theres loads. Others can see the rooms too.

I don`t know what happened to my post above maybe it was a bad character in the room name i was trying to post. Anyway maybe this is someone flooding the chat rooms list to put extra burden on primaries i cannot think of any other reason anyone would flood this list with fake room of rooms that closed years ago. But how is it being done when all the fake room have different hashes ?  it certainly makes it allot harder to find a room your looking for if you don`t know how to use the filter!

flooding the chat system was/is (not sure on the current situation of this anymore) done by mediadefender.... they would DDoS a user with a blocking patch (either KMs original or the community patch) or just flood users without one... (hosts connect)....

what method are you using to connect?

[Blitzen]

Iam using the community patch from the official site, others have also confirmed they can see the fake rooms too, for those who do not remember old room names you can see some of the fake rooms have winmx 3.53 or 3.54 in the topic tags, but what i cannot understand is how all the fake rooms of which there are hundreds ,all have different room hashes!!

I can see rooms that closed almost 5 years ago listing lol

That sounds like a Network Injection program that is listing rooms with the ash numbers. Ill see if Ghost can run a check and see what's happening.

It appears the fake rooms have gone ................ very spooky!

I have edited the topic to reflect the false nature of this event.

One has to wonder just why anyone would bother trying to annoy folks when most chat folks have their chat havens on favourites and thus any new listing are in the main ignored
