Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

If the cops are allowed to scan anybody's hard drive, ostensibly for child porn, will I get a fine for using Limewire to get a few tunes? most of which I already have paid for but are on vinyl or cassette tapes.

this is something else i was thinking about. Although downloading music is a MUCH smaller crime than downloading kp, if the authorities have the power to scan hard drives and check download records, why aren't they busting any music downloaders as well as kp downloaders?

I think you are getting confused about "who looks for what" on the Internet in regards to criminal activity.

First of all, the police and other UK government agencies look for signs of fraud, ID theft, terrorism, illegal web sites and anything that can be considered criminal and or terrorist linked activities.

That said, the government still wants all telecoms companies in the UK to keep a record of all communications, i.e. Internet, mobile, land line, IM, etc. that occur on their networks for 12 months.

Snooping database has to happen says gov't - Software - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com

http://www.silicon.com/publicsector/...9443438,00.htm

However, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), a close associate of the American RIAA, and their agents search the Internet for music sharers, i.e. uploaders and downloaders. The BPI then approach the ISP they suspect the music sharer belong to and demand the sharer's name and address.

Consequently, music sharing in the UK is a civil matter and not yet a criminal one.

I suspect that the BPI is lobbying the government to change the law and make music file sharing a criminal offence as well as giving themselves "police like" powers, similar to the powers the RIAA in America seem to have appropriated.

UK record industry in illegal file-sharing crackdown - Research - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com

ISPs face fresh threat from file-sharing laws - Management - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com

So, the police will not come knocking on your door because you share music files but if you are a prolific sharer you could get a letter from the BPI threatening to sue you.

Well i was getting really annoyed with this, all of this childish stuff. The easiest thing i could come up with to block it from coming up, was to block keywords in the filter option.
For e.g. most of them kind of files hold words like "lolita" and "kiddy" and "******". Just type in the keywords, don't get none of that stuff anymore, but when i type in tigers, tiger porn will come up... geez

slightly off topic, but earlier today i got a phone call from BT. On the phone line in the leisure centre i work in. They just wanted to advertise remote access, but what worried me greatly was that my details had not yet been logged into the leisure centre's records. According to the outside world, i don't work at the centre, and yet BT knew i worked there. I rang back a few hours later to ask how on earth they'd got that number and linked it to me, the guy on the other end said he didn't have a clue. It seems everyone is spying these days

i think this porn is f*cking disgusting and the mere fact that some people find it so easy to dicuss the **** of children so openly and with such a blas'e attitude is frankly frightening, i have like many others encountered the problem of accidental downloading and have tried switching applications but cant find a program as easy to use as limewire, my solution was to use the filter in the options section of limewire and filter the keywords associated with this type of file and find it to be affective, now i just use youporn or spankwire for my adult videos and leave limewire for music..

If I get it I shred it with three passes with Stomp Soft file shredder.

I finally figured out that if its says pthc or something like that it may be something bad. I assume that stands for pathetic. Anyway put that in your filter also.

My first post here .. but i find most of the videos that are related to porn cant be trusted on its face..

Either the titles are wrong.. like search "25yr old porn" then you open the video and its a 13yr old ?? maybe .. i didnt ask for ID .. So there is NO WAY to avoid it.. Unless you just never search for porn .. but thats not likely search top websites ranks for porntube on alexa and you will find their ranking is almost as good as Google or MSN or Yahoo .. last i looked it was like 40th rank out of the millions of websites out there. so if anyone dont think porn is big there wrong.. its just the age and asking for ID thats the problem ..

Default And the other way around.

And someone earlier in this Thread said it works the opposite also. He said it'll say 18 or something and they "actors" will be 30 or whatever.
