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.

I think most of us find it sick. But doesn't "limewire" start with you and me? The problem is too big to put on LW, just us little folks can make a big difference in this sick sh*t if we junk it, and in the least NOT d/ling the barbaric filth-

Yeah.....true. I would suggest not even downloading porn on Limewire or any video that seems to be fishy. It is different if you download something that is labeled child porn and you INTEND on viewing it, and clicking on something completely different and then viewing it and finding it to be child pornography....especially if you are sitting there downloading a cartoon or something for your 8 year old child and then it pops up as the sickest stuff that parents would never want their kids seeing their entire life.....but the sickos are all around on LimeWire, that is why I have put the whole program down for downloading adult content because it just isn't worth it because you have a chance of getting arrested or getting stuff that you don't really want to even look at.....but someone out there thinks that you do because you downloaded it, like the feds being one...

I suggest just looking on google or some other sites that have free porn like thehun.com or any other site that is free of charge porn, they are all around the web, and it is very rare to find child pornography because the feds bust child pornography sites very fast, if you search for a porn video or picture on google you will not find any cp content....that is why I use it.

This is one thing that is a universal crime to some extent everywhere....but I knew a perv once who taped (hidden) guests going to his bathroom...this sick twisted lump got it when the cable modem guy came over to check out his modem and found footage of young girls (daughter and friends) going to BR/shower, without being aware of this camera...He got a warning! A warning!

In the US it is VERRRRY bad to get caught with ANYTHING on your computer that even hints at CP... It doesn't even have to be genuine either, a convincingly youthful looking 18 yr old in a video or stills who claims to be underage is just as bad as the real thing! Here's another example of how screwey it can get. A former school chum of mine who lived in New York City was 23 at the time he was engaged to his fiance. She was 17 at the time. Now in NY state 17 is the "age of consent" which means it was perfectly legal for him to have as much sex with her as he felt like... His BIG mistake was to videotape some of their intimate moments... That you see was illegal... He just got out of prison last year... Spent 5 years there... If you are gonna down porno or anything else for that matter off of Limewire or any other place, I strongly recommend you get an external slave HD and use it for downloading exclusively... This way if you do get stuck with some nassty stuff in a DL you can use a HD scrubber on it and not affect your master drive... Just food for thought... Cheers, Cappy...

Watchers of KP and makers of KP disgust people more then serial killers. A prime example of this is how hard the FBI works to throw those guys in prison. And you get a long a** prison sentence just for having one pic of a minor showing any hint of sexual innuendoes on your comp.

I ran into KP once through a false download and by accident, after that I cleaned out my computer twice. Even though everything is deleted I have this shady feeling that the crap is somewhere still on my hard drive. I'm getting a new computer and the end of this month and I plan on incinerating my old one.

That sounds more like superstition than caution. Just defrag the drive and that
will scrub the last whiff of the picture out of there.

Not always. Sometimes a format just resets the disk structure and scans for
obvious errors without actually overwriting and testing every sector.

I've faced this problem as well. I qued some videos the other night and later watched them to find that some were KP. I deleted them. Then I previewed some of those still in que and deleted some more that were iffy.

I thought I was good, then I realized about a week later that I forgot to delete the file fragments or whatever. However, I don't even share my files, nor do I share file fragments, so do I have anything to worry about?

I also didn't know that a regular delete wasn't secure. So I guess my HD still has fragments on it. This sucks. I think I'm fixing to uninstall limewire. Too much trouble.

A defrag will reliably scrub the remains. If you have Norton's software you
can set Speed disk to run every night.

Since you're not building or sharing major collections the authorities have no
interest in you whatsoever and even in the impossibly rare case they do, you
can reasonably assert your innocence by the fact you did delete the few files
you did get by accident.

Question

Aaron,

I have recently had the same problem as a few others here, downloading everything that shows up as search results, including ******* kp (searching for videos with the keyword "young" is a bad idea!! - I expected to get 18 year old variety stuff, not toddlers). Your comments are definitely making me feel better. I have been constantly scrubbing my hard drive since I found i had that **** downloaded.

I still fear that the feds are going to show up at my house and take my computer and inspect it and find something and give me some 5-10 sentence because I was "in possession." I have never been a paranoid person or even worried about the government watching me, but now I just feel like a dirty fugitive.

I really hope you are right, that if I did fall into some kp sting trap on gnutella that my deleting the files (I actually stopped most from finishing dl'ing) would exonerate me. I still hate this feeling. I didn't knowingly do anything wrong but this country could still put me in federal prison for several years if they so chose.

Furthermore, the post below by killians is ******* horrifying if it is true in its entirety. It is all I can think about right now. P2P porn is obviously not worth it with all the sick ****ers sharing kp.

The items were deleted, but I didn't completely follow procedure. It'd just happened so many times I just see it and delete it. It doesn't really phase me anymore and I've been P2P sharing for years.

Three months ago, Feds showed up at my work, and at my house with a search and seizure warrant. They took five computers, 600 cds and dvds, and said "have a nice day, we'll be in touch."

I'm currently without a lawyer on retainer because it's federal and costs $10-15,000 for one if you haven't been charged yet. They can spend the next 285 days toying around with my stuff before deciding to charge me. I haven't slept more than a couple hours a night for three months because I know "how it looks". The law does not care what your intent was. They don't care about how the internet works. They only care that there was ever illegal porn on your computer.

I will probably go away for the Federal minimum sentence of 5 years, if not longer. It's taken me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I will not see justice in this case because the law is ignorant.

This is just to let you all know, be VERY careful. It might be your door they come knocking on next.
Any updates, killian?

also,
can you not be charged if "they" just have the log showing you downloaded this trash... is that why they take your comp and search for the illegal files?

No, such logs prove nothing. Just encrypt your disks, get Alzheimer and never worry about the FUD in here again.

"Any updates, killian?"

They don't read forums in Guantanamo Bay.

I reformatted my drive and ran a defrag. Should that be enough?

I don't know whether Aaron is an undercover DEA agent but that "defrag destroys all evidence" is pretty much nonsense. Especially running defrag after format is completely pointless. You thought you're smart because you knew that's gonna be faster, right? After a format completely fill the disk with non-compressible data. That should really destroy all evidence unless you're public no. 1 in which case the billion to restore the data anyway might be justified. Yeah I know under Windows such a simple task is really difficult to accomplish. Just download a boot disk for Linux or any BSD and use dd to overwrite your disk (dd if=/dev/zero bs=64k of=/dev/path_to_raw_device). That's a one-liner and effective.

Nonetheless, you should really use disk encryption and get some Alzheimer. There's no safer way and I'm pretty sure real lolipedofins are smart enough for that.
