morgwen:

What are "agreed internet operational purposes?"

In addition, you left out the next paragraph:

"A RFC [request for comments] document and translations of it may be copied and furnished to others, and derivative works that comment on or otherwise explain it or assist in its implementation may be prepared, copied, published and distributed, in whole or in part, without restriction of any kind, provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are included on all such copies and derivative works."

--http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/databaseref-manual.html#A3.1

So, now that we have that copyright included, let the IPs flow!

Post IPs but NO personal data! Ask RIPE if its allowed to post them here! The first paragraph says ALL!

The second says ONLY if RIPE agreed that you are allowed to copy the data you have to include this paragraph!

RIPE don´t know anything about this here so its sure no agreed copy!

Morgwen

P.S.:
I will close this thread if anybody post personal data! NO discussion about this point!

Yes I know this! But it seems that some people here think I have to explain my actions, this people are wrong! I do it sometimes that the people understand that this here is a free forum but this doesn´t mean that we bend the law here!

Feelings are sometimes wrong! Why should I hate you? You explained your point of view and I explained mine!

I am glad you have brought this to other peoples attention.
Also there are files that usually say (full-downloader) they have links built in that take you to porn sites or advertisements and by just downloading you get things added to your desk top....Annoying....is an understatement

I agree, posting more than IP address is not necessary (anyone can find those information through other sites). What matters is that we could at least let others know who is behaving badly, and that something may be done about it. I didn't know LW had the ability to block certain IPs, GOOD!

Well Morgwen, I am very relieved to know you don't hate me! Keep up your good work. I'll be hanging around as well.

can we have something like a registry of ips that return bad results?
this way we can limit their actions on GNET

Just for info, this same person is using more than one IP (or should I say, a variation) The first two sets of digits are the same, the last two are different. I have blocked at least 4 different variations of this IP.

not to reveal personal info on him but i suspect all those IPs are in he czech republic. [one was, no offence to other czechs]

i read these messages out of curiousity, but whoever started this topic may have to re-evaluate THEIR own prerogatives. sorry to say it but alot of u seem like nosy and for no reason irritated people who want to put an end to limewire which in my opinion is one of the best file sharing programs out there. so in other words, use limewire if u want. if it bothers u dont use it anymore.

but don't use Bots to spam others.
that's whats hurting the gnutellanet.
