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.

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. |

 We Need a 'Report Violation' Button I made this forum account for one reason only. Yesterday, I searched in 'VHS Videos' under 'Videos'. Nothing more, nothing less. It returned exactly 485 results, about half of which were advertised as porn. Now, I don't know the exact nature of the Limewire rules, but porn of the legal, voluntary variety I don't care about. However, at least 10-20 results displayed appeared to be child porn and/or ****. 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?  |

| First rule I can suggest to you, don't be afraid to be rude if you know what you are talking about is right. Everything this man has said I agree with, he's probably not lying even though I have not found such results from searches like this. Yet, I also joined these boards because I felt compelled to suggest exactly the same thing he is suggesting for an option in Limewire. I received a virus (Trojan) that was embedded as an wma file just 20 minutes ago. The scripts were stopped before the file had finished downloading, both Limewire and my Anti-Virus did a good job of that. Yet, I figured, hell is that enough ?! Why not be able to log all corrupt file events and log such info such as: > Hosted IP Addresses > Usernames > Other info Depending on the severity of the Log event, such as a virus or child pornography, it would perform instructions such as: > Send Email Warning - This would state that YOU the user are hosting a corrupted file that could and is assumed to be a virus, your IP and username have been recorded in violation of secure and proper use of the Gnutella networks and are formely warned to remove set instance of file: "C:\Users\*******\Downloads\Music\a perfect circle - Emotive.wma" If you are caught in violation again after 2 days, your account and IP will be suspended from all network activity there after. A beautifully ingenious network like Gnutella will eat itself out from the inside if it allows people who are actually hosting viruses, spyware and other malicious files to continue to do so. Another thing it could do is script a dummy user to download the file from the host and perform a complete data scan and analysis using some online virus application, then decide based on report statistic's what to do next. Hell, if someone was smart enough, they could track down every last instance of the file on the network and wipe it out completely...Now hows that for a public safety service !! ==RenegadeWolf== |

| Thank you for the input, I totally agree. You have some great ideas, and I hope an admin gets around to seeing this. (By the way, this is of little importance, but I'm female, not male.) |

| While I'm sure this might seem like a good idea to you, it certainly isn't.. unless of course you want to rid the Gnutella network of all the good files as well. One very important factor is exactly that you cannot just print out logs of what users are sharing. Keep in mind that Record Companies and Movie Studios would love for that feature to be implemented also. How many people would be sharing their music and movies if they had to be on record for sharing them. Not many I bet. ... and yes the keyword filter here is a pain in the @ss, but I think most people can figure out what that 4 letter word is. What I would suggest is using the keyword filter and just block the results that contain these words. |

| Sleepless- While I'm as guilty as the next "illeagal file downloader", I would be totally willing to give that up if it could possibly protect the dignity and sanity of an innocent soul. I realize I sound like a bit of a bleeding heart, but realize this: If those files are really what they say they are, then this is a much bigger and more painful issue than any music file sharing I can think of. This is not okay in my mind, and if it's okay in yours, I suggest you rethink your frame of mind. My apologies for my forthrightness; it's a subject I feel strongly about. And thank you, Lord of the Rings, for your suggestion, but this is not exactly what I was hoping for. You see, this will only stop ME from seeing them- that's not what I want. I want them GONE. I'm sorry, but it's not for my sake, it's for the possible victims here. |

| Hi... You will be able to find numerous references pertaining to this subject spread throughtout these Gnutella Forums... One point that must be emphasized is basic and is mentioned elsewhere... Simply that, when pursuing others for the offense of sharing illegal material it is not only probable but highly likely that the vast majority of people either busted or harassed will be totally innocent AND totally unaware that they were in any way involved in sharing said material. The issues are not as clear as one may wish. Know anything about 'zombie' problems ? Do you share incomplete (partial or pending) downloads ? Do you share from your DownLoads folder without vetting (100%) EVERY second of sounds or images or words in eBooks BEFORE allowing a file to be shared ? Do you ? YOU could be charged with crimes because of any of the above three... And the above three are nothing... they're merely a few examples of how innocents are charged. No one here is promoting so-called illegal porn... Absolutely to the contrary. |

| As I said, my apologies for my forthrightness, I'm sorry if I came off as rude or demanding. I do not make any folders on my computer available for download, because I have a slow connection, AND for privacy. While I don't have anything remotely like what I am protesting about, I would still rather keep my computer MY computer. I am sorry if I have been the cause of this projecting into a heated argument, I only would like something done, if remotely possible. |
