Forums General Discussion assumed porn

I am a new user of mirc. One of the reasons that I use it is because there is no place for porn, but unfortunately I am constantly receiving messages telling me to visit websites where I apparently you can view nude pictures. As I have 2 young children at home, I am very concerned about them being subject to this type of contact. Can anyone tell me how to stop these messages, if not, I will have to delete mirc from my hard drive, which would be a shame as I enjoy using it.

Any help will be appreciated.

try add this in your remote (ALT + R) in your mirc..

This will close any private messages that have "http" or "XXX" in it.. this is what i use to get rid of all this lame online spammers.. how ever you wont be able to recieve any urls in private.. but if you want to recieve a url from somone, just disable it, just right klick in a channel or query window for menu.

ainsy: It's unfortunate that you have to receive objectionable content while on IRC, though it is only the fault of the mIRC chat client as much as your ears are at fault for overhearing someone swear.

There are some options that you might pursue however, such as finding a differen't network to chat on with a lower spam rate, or simply ignoring all messages from strangers. You might even abe able to script a solution that will block all questionable messages with fair accuracy.

Here is an example of one such scripted solution. To install this script, follow these instructions first.
Press ALT+R and select the "Remote" tab (if it isn't already).
Goto File > New
Goto File > SaveAs... type: Myscript.mrc (and press Enter).

You should have a clear area to type in now. Enter this code.

Code:

On ^*:OPEN:?: {
  if ($count($strip($1-),hello,asl,a/s/l,ctc,c2c,slm,salam,hallo,cyber,chat)) $&
    var %reason = Contains possible solicitation.
  if ($count($strip($1-),sex,money,xxx,porn,pr0n,naked,nude,p[color:red]*[/color]ssy,c[color:red]*[/color]ck,b[color:red]*[/color]tch,s[color:red]***[/color],f[color:red]***[/color],c[color:red]***[/color])) $&
    var %reason = Contains explicit material.
  if ($count($strip($1-),http://,ftp://,www.,.com,.htm,.jpg)) $&
    var %reason = %reason Contains a website url.
  if (%reason) { 
    echo 4 -tsi * Ignoring message(s) from $nick $iif($comchan($nick,1),( $+ on $ifmatch $+ )) $&
      because it: %reason
    if ($ifmatch) echo 4 -ti $ifmatch * Ignoring message(s) from $nick because it: %reason
    ignore -pu60 $nick 3
    HALT
} }

Replace the * with whatever you feel appropriate.

If you like this script, do send me money.

It works perfectly

Just a note to ainsy however:

When you copy and paste the code it will end up all in ONE line in your remotes. Flicking between windows, make sure you separate the lines EXACTLY like Raccoon has posted above, otherwise it won't work, or it will echo incorrect error messages.

Edit: Almost forgot! * Mentality gives Raccoon and sparta peanutbutter cookies *G*

Happy chatting

Regards,

want to ad:
You paste it in wordpad first .. then in to remote to solve that problem, it looks like it should after that "it dont have formated text when you copying it from this site, thats why it ends up in one line"

This seems a bit over the top to me though. I've seen some of the porn sites that circulate on IRC, and they're often rather innocent. If I were a parent, I'd want my kids to see more of these sites to keep them away from the really kinky ones until they got older. ^_^ Good luck though!

AND GOOD LUCK FIGHTING SPAM!

YEAH! pr0n as a learning aid!

why can u be my parent?!?!

considering how often they are trojans, that certainly would be a "learning" experience to be avoided

Ha ya then you would be getting more messages to "download this". I had to set a network for a family down the street and they had mIRC. I looked in there remote and found like 5 different Viruses type things it was crazy and they all pm you telling you to connect to DCC or "go to this site"
