In order to ignore someone using the zero slot hack I have set
mxmonitor to ignore anyone not uploading at least 1 file to someone
else. The other person must be sharing and uploading to someone else
in order to enter my queue. I clear my ignore list twice a day to give
anyone ignored another chance to get a file from me.
Anytime someone logs off and logs back on they are assigned a new #
after their name which will allow them to circumvent the ignore list.
There are other means to dodge the ignore list but that is one way.
HTH.
