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. |

 Hello! This is called Spoofing the network! It is not the Porn industry that is to be blaimed for this but the RIAA and MPAA. I think that they are using a specialized client developed by the Rangers based on the old Macintosh Gnutella client Furi. This is how they do it: Whenever you do a search a Query message is broadcasted trough your segment of the network(Horizon).Whenever that Query is intercepted by one of the Evil Eve nodes set out by the RIAA and MPAA it takes the Query and pharses the name and generates Query Hit messages(usually 3 or 4 with different extensions added to them) that matched your Query exactly but with for instance !!! added to the file name.These files are nothing but crap files that will take you to Porn sites but these Porn sites are innocent(bealieve it or not).It is just a smart approach by the RIAA and MPAA industry to make us think that they (The Porn industry)are to be blaimed for this since they are already known to have bad moral so that we will all blaim them for this crap. The reason for them to do this is to clog up the network with crap(Spoof) files.But they cannot do it alone so they need help from unknowledgable users that do download these files and then just keep them in their Shared Directory without deleting them so that their files gets replicated to a great numbers and eventually will become dominating on Gnutella.But fortunatelly it seems that they are failing to attack Gnutella because the Client developers are working to solve these problems and also they will not fool the more Knowledgable users that do care what they share and delete bad files from their Shared Directory.But it seems that they might become successfull with Fast Track and Kazaa.

 While some may be the result of the RIAA and MPAA (have no particular evidence but sounds like some of their other schemes), I know that some of them are defidantly related to porn sites. These files are usually larger and are not computer generated (as far as I know; they dont come up under any search and are hard to recognize by type and size) the files are just given the wrong name on purpose. |

| change the order of your key words. avoid any results named in the order of your search. genuine results are named in the correct order. also, be as specific as possible in the "type:" field. |

| Thanks... Maybe a new thread should be started to make all users aware of the specific IP's to filter. Something like 'Gnutella Users: Please Read to avoid Spam ads' I'm sure not everyone will open a thread called 'porn bomb'. Furthermore, maybe it would be a good idea to stay on top of this with updates of any new IP's that share these bombs. -d |
