Search and spammers

Postby rbswft » Fri Sep 07, 2012 11:23 am

Is there anyway when doing a search via internet to filter off spammers and not get them in the 2000 download list?

Any news on option to store search in Group list to use instead of the dropdown list?

Many Thanks

I find size filters will drop most of the spammers out of the loop.

For #2, this is a planned change for after 6.40. It's going to be better than just storing the searches off.

Good news about group thing. Think that will be super useful to many.

Thought about size filter, but leaves out nfo files. Will do as suggested anyway.

Might be an idea for later releases. Put that in the to do list of "bored, nothing better to do".

Thanks again for response.
