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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

Default Underaged nudity on the Gnutella network

On Monday August 4, my brother was given a prison sentence for having deleted file names that insinuated kp, theses files could not be verified, but just the fact of having words is enough to send you to the cooler. He had got these files of limewire, which looked as innocent as any music file you choose to download, during the download the file name changed which he only realised when he went back to his pc, he deleted them off immediatley. There was also an uploader on his pc which the prosecution failed to mention to the judge. When my brother went to give his plea, he was only shown the case file 1 hour before, his barrister advised him to enter a guilty plea otherwise he would get 18yrs, so this is what he did. The prosecution then announced that they had made an exaggeration, which the judge did not seem to impressed with & ordered a pre trial revue, his barrister announced that he had not been advised about this or he would of advised a not guily plea. My brother had his revue & on Monday we went back to court for sentence, we were advised he was a low risk & unlikely to be a risk, but he is in denial, all because he maintains he is not into this type of sick **** & if anyone ever touched his siblings kids he would be in court on a different matter. We went ino the court room to a different judge,the prosecution went over the old stuff that he had already said they exaggerated (possibly due to being a different judge & the local press being there) but also admitted these files could not be verified, he also said there was a vid of a girl tied to a bed performing oral sex, a play on word i guess, as i use the word 'girls' if im going for a night out with my mates & some of them are in there 40's. I got the impression this judge had made his mind up the minute he walked in the court room, he passed sentence of 6 months for each offence (which had already been previously advised of an exaggeration & not being able to verify theses files) the sentence totals 7yrs. Unfortunatley barristers, judges & solicitors are not computer savvy, they are dinosaurs in this area & the police know this & use it to there advantage. The police & courts are not interested in the why's & wherefore's just the fact they can recover words of your computers memory is enough to convict you. I know dozens of people this has happened too even my own kids tell me it has happened to them on an old computer we had, thank god we don't have it anymore. I have been on my brothers computer many times & never seen anything underhand, he would never let me on it if he did as he knows what a nosey cow i am. Yes, i have noticed a few adult porn sites he has viewed but what young or old lad dosn't look at adult porn even girls for that matter.
What i am saying is, in the eyes of the law it does not matter how kp got onto your computer, the fact that it is there is enough to put you in prison & the sex offenders register. It is scary **** & those that download it to keep & distribute are the one's that need seeing to. My brother refuses to lie & say that is what he is into to satisfy the legal system, if he had said what they want to hear, he would be free.

Default How?

It is really rotten that the justice system (should I use that word) treated him that way. Police, prosecutors and judges are all in a business which is rated on its conviction rate. Just like a retailor of gasoline does not care if you're are suffering because of the recent increased cost of gasoline the prosecutor cares only about his conviction rate. The police their arrest rate. And of course what judge doesn't want to seems tough on child porn?

Innocent you say? "Yeah they all say that" they'll tell their cronies at the pub tonight.

How did the fact that these deleted subjects had been downloaded come to the attention of the authorities?

So what you are saying is that your brother had 14 files on his computer that where in relation to KP....He accidentally downloaded 14 files is that correct ??

All sounds a little suss to me...The authorities where obviously watching him for a reason...

Default Dont Download it

At the end of the day, if the title says 12 yr old etc, dont down load it, you dont want it, so ignor it, download the older ladies like me lol.

If you dont download it, you wont get into trouble, and lets be honest only pedo's want to download it, so they deserve to be caught anyway. Perverts

Im not joking look for NUDE holiday pics tina and look at me instead

Miss Angry

I, too, question why the authorities were looking into your bro's computer.

Charged with posession of child porn, when the only evidence is 14 filenames that could not be verified? A prosecutor admitting to "exaggerating" criminal charges? A lawyer telling a defendant to plead guilty at arraignment? (With only one hour to prepare for a case, the standard practice is to plead 'not guilty' and waive time. The plea may change at a later date - after further review of the case and discussion with the DA.) Was this in the US (what city, state)?

If the "girl tied to a bed..." was made to appear underage (even if she was over 18), and the title implied child porn, then posession of the file could be a criminal offense. But you said he was downloading music.

A program that changes the filenames as I'm downloading them is a new one on me.

Any comment(s) re: 'undesirable' material that may be distributed within the Gnutella Network will be absolutely incorrect if any specific client is named and/or 'accused'.

I hope I am not out of line here but I was at address: 96.20.121.169:43230 (197) and observed some of the raunchiest named kp files I've ever seen ...Thanks for your attention

you weren't 'there'...you totally misstated your concept...

you can report that IP address here: CyberTipline

you should log the time/date of the incident so that they may properly investigate...it also helps to take a screenshot of what is on your screen (i.e. their shared items)...
