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. |

 Have you heard the news? I personally did not see it, so have no evidence but a friend of mine told me about a news article on UK national news regarding organisations planning to take legal action against Limewire and to (I quote) "put a stop to illegal downloading". Has anyone else heard any news regarding this? I personally think this is merely big boys talk and will only give Limewire more publicity. I don't see how anyone can take them to court, as it is the responsibility of the uploaders whether they wish to break the law or not. There are problems with illegal material on Limewire, but I think that is a seperate, more vast issue in itself. Discuss.  |

| Your friend might be referring to the NYT's article http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/28/te...8grokster.html that interviewed LimeWire's Mark Gorton about the US Supreme Court hearings related to file sharing networks. He pointed out that since LimeWire is released as free open source software through limewire.org, the software and protocol cannot be stopped. There are other ongoing filesharing lawsuits in the UK, Canada and around the world. For example, Google news has over 600 entries for the SCOTUS Grokster/MGM hearings, so I'm not sure where your friend got his "idea." |

| Stief, my friend did not acquire an "idea", he was referring to a television news article in the UK that was broadcast last night. It does seem similar to the article you mentioned, however. I know that record companies don't like it, but I really don't see how they can have a case for prosecution. News articles like this one always crop up from time to time, and the reporters don't even seem to know the first idea about file sharing or even the functions of Internet downloads. |

| Fire and radio satires now bookmarked (I hadn't seen those). Thanks. This isn't satire, but should be: Back in 1996 campers were targeted for singing campfire songs, and the Scouts still remember. Quote:
On an even more serious note, the EFF has also added a "Deep Links" section to help keep up on the Grokster/MGM case at http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/ |
