These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

| Yes it does happen. Quote:
Does that make sense that the files could be shared through ITunes without someone knowing? Thanks for any comments. |

| I know this threads been dead awhile but I did a study on some of the .jpg files that where labeled as naked teens, underage or child porn. I found that most of them where either naked grown woman, jokes images that showed a random picture that said ha ha you pervert on them or viruses. only 12 out of over 40 files had young naked teens in them most of which where the same pic but just labled different. and there where several pics of teens that had cloths on and where posted in a sexy way. Oh and I got several files that when you clicked delete it wouldn't delete and had for options had only only open, preview, send to, open with and cut and copy Of cource I new they where a virus because when I viewed it with paintshop pro under thumbnails it had a blank image. So I clicked cut on the folder, then paste in anouther folder and then opened the folder but not the file again and saw it had this pic. I then exited the folder clicked cut then I pasted it into the deletion bin and clicked delete and it was gone.  |

| Jane, it is possible to leave iTunes open and sharing a download folder. This makes it possible to inadvertently share everything that was downloaded by accident as well as by choice. I always advise people not to share the downloads folder at all because not only are you automatically sharing stuff before you get a chance to check it for viruses, worms and contraband like illegal porn, but you may also be infringing on copyrights if somebody comes along later and uploads some of the perfectly legal files you downloaded. Don't worry about the illegal web sites that distribute underage porn. They are always found, no matter where in the world they try to hide, and the police in all countries are always willing to work together to arrest whole gangs of these criminals and their customers whenever and wherever they are found. LimeWire, on the other hand, is not a web site or porn distributor. It is just a piece of software people use to share and explore for whatever they want, and it has no control over what people do. One may as well blame Internet Explorer too. |
