We Need a 'Report Violation' Button

It's very difficult to police the gnutella network. Almost anything can be shared upon it.

Hey !!!

Enough of this apology stuff, OK ?

Absolutely no need... Nothing I can see that could possibly merit an apology !

Keep kicking !

p.s. I have, currently, a list of over 30 'organisations', including a special Interpol site, which may be appropriate for the purposes of reporting 'illegal' material...

I have mulled over the posting of these links within these forums for over 2 years... I still think that by doing so I would, in fact, harm more people than would benefit.

To renegade wolf,

since you have not come across this type of thing, here is an example I just found:
hidden cam - porno two 15 and 14 years young nudists girls scuffle together - unsuspecting school girls film mpg 40,019kb t3 or higher 192.***.*.***[EDIT]

This stuff does exist. I dont know what it actually is, but if I saw this advertised anywhere (and I am sure someone is dumb enough to do just that) I would report them in a hearbeat. With that in mind, the "Limewire company" should make it one of their priorities to report such things, permanently block all who alllow such files to exist, and remove them at the server level. This to me is just good business.

Now, I know about the programs that change the names of files based on what people search, and I know that files aren't always what they're titled, but by U.S. law, if not by morals, this is WRONG. I don't want to see this kind of thing when I get on LimeWire, and have to wonder if it's real, and if I could do something about it.

My point is, we need to add a 'Report Violation' button, if it hasn't already been done (I use an older version of Limewire, so I don't know about most updates.)
Thank you for your time.

*Edit: It appears that the forum has edited out one of my words. I hate to seem rude, but why the double standard?

If I was you I would of got the users i.p that was sharing child porn and reported him. We don't need that sort of scum on any p2p network
