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. |

 ISP's really don't care about such stuff (unless its found being hosted on their servers)... law enforcement and some private groups do the policing....

this hasn't happened with me downloading kp by accident, so i guess i have nothing to worry about. Still, it makes me so angry that LW, a very useful program, has to be polluted like this  |

| interesting.. i always thought it was ISP's. a little while back (2007) my american cousin who's 12 came to visit. he's a bit messed up so he was searching sexual harrasement and other strange stuff online, and a few days before he was due to leave our isp (orange) cut our line to investigate. Nothing happened since then.. |

| and I'm sure such activity was reported to the ISP....woops...you're in the UK....cough, cough.. yeah, there is 'eavesdropping' going on over there...was he using a search engine?.. there are websites where one can report such activities and they will contact the ISP, the law, or both... cpHotline.org ASACP: Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home in general ISP's aren't too eager to do such policing...it cuts into the profit margin... as a point of fact: its not LW that is polluted by such things, its certain users that are sharing the material...I can only think of one p2p platform that isn't infested with the stuff, and that's IRC (and it isn't really p2p in that sharing is not required, and because of the way the networks are set up open channels promoting such stuff would be removed by the central servers)...and I bet there are a couple of hidey holes even there...

| hm. one thing im wondering is, do the law enforcers or whoever is policing the web and p2p's let a user rack up a load of illegal activity (by which i mean downloading kp) before catching them? obviously they're supposed to be looking out for the true consumers and primarily, the producers, but in order to do so they will have to wait and observe a user doing it repeatedly? my faith in the justice system is pretty poor so it would be quite worrying to hear that they'll just cuff anyone near the stuff, accidental or not. |

| Web Snooping in the UK marshmarsh16 You may not be aware of this but the UK Government is well forward in it's plan to snoop on all forms of telecommunications within the country. Please check the following articles: Snooping database has to happen says gov't - Software - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com Especially this one from June 2002: BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Official site to advise on state snooping BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Agency denies internet spy plans In fact, if you search the BBC News website you will find stories of Government plans, dating back to 2000, to snoop on UK citizens Internet usage. The only way to protect yourself is to restrict your Internet browsing and don't let anyone else use your PC. Saying that, and as I said before, the Government is looking for persistent offenders and not accidental downloaders. UK Bob PS. Also, don't forget that there is a Government backed anti-P2P campaign, run by Virgin, going on at the moment. |

| yeah, but theres going to be a limit on their snooping. i mean, how long do ISP's keep user records? doesnt the Data Protection Act force them to destroy their files after a certain length of time? |

| The aussie government discussed this .. afaik (prove me wrong if you like) .. it was down voted .. invasion of privacy. I guess USA & UK govs do not understand or respect privacy. Exception is for Child pornography however in most countries in the world. Over here they will set the person up, not invade them without evidence. In general, the legal approach here is 'innocent until proven guilty'. Whereas I believe in USA 'you are guilty until proven innocent'. Different countries have different requirements upon ISP's keeping history records (some governments require the ISP keeps records for a certain amount of time.) And also in part it's up to the specific ISP in some cases as to how long 'they' decide to keep records. |
