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.

So what's the big deal?
First of all its not only Gator...

I know how much spytools exists...

Do you really want to compare cookies and spytools???

Cookies don´t download exe code, they don´t connect to the internet without permission...

Do you will tell us now if somebody kills a man its ok for me that I kill one too?

John it seems you know that spytools aren´t "good" that is the reason why you don´t install them but many newbies don´t know what is going on... they believe internet is funny and all people are lovely... but the truth is internet is a risk today, so we have to inform newbies about the risks... and than every user can decide what they want... but without this knowledge they are helpless...

So tell me John where is your problem? If you don´t care about these tools don´t read our posts, don´t comment them...

If spytools are such a good thing why "you" don´t install them?

Default Why I don't install spyware?

Simple, they aren't out for linux, they eat up bandwidth by downloading ads and they usually try to display the ads they downloaded to me.

However, I don't believe Gator (&c) is truly harmful.

Yes,

simply the best way, its no problem for you, but you suggest all "windows" user to install this crap... Gator and other spytools are a really security risks... but only for windows users...

John if you believe they are harmful, I know thousands of people who said they "might" be really dangerous... and many of this people aren´t idiots, some of them are really good programmers...

So if you don´t have a problem with this tools use them or not but lets us do our support!

Arrow More spyware

BTW, ad aware has also detected spyware on Radiate Advertising, a program that comes with Go!Zilla. Since Gator is also promoted by Go!Zilla, i'm not quite surprised. I agree, leaving all your personal info and passwords in an encripted file is a dangerous thing to do. Anyone could enter your computer, take that file, and do a mess in your computer, email account or whatever. I uninstalled Radiate Advertising and I couldn't get Go!Zilla to work any more. But the truth is I never liked the last version.

If I don't belive in a problem, there is no problem?

No, there is a big difference between cookies which will be send back to one webpage and a hidden systematic data mining together with collected confidental private data and user profiles given to third parties. Last is what national secret agencies do = spying.

John is like a young cat. My teacher told me a story from her little cat when I was in school, her cat tried once to hide from my teacher by looking away. The cat thought, when I can not see someone they can't see me.

I don't even care whether THEY see me or not. It's not like I tried to hide.

Yes, - they *might* be. And Windows XP *might* contain a backdoor for the NSA.

That is the difference between possibility and fact. Any possible danger you see in Gator (&c) also applies to any other internet related software. Gator is not the devil and it is as much of a security risk as any other internet related applications (including ICQ or Morpheus for example).

I don't like the fact that I know spyware is running on my PC, but it's the price to pay for free programs, I guess.

Well linux is without *spyware* (or adware) for now (if you don't count opera), but I don't think that will last forever.

John!

It will! Because Linux its developed by hundreds of developers all over the world in their free time... if there will be a "spyware" linux version, I have to smile... I will switch to another distrubution or I will ask a friend to compile it!

You know Linux is open source its allowed to compile it, as it allowed for Limewire... and we say the people there is spyware into, don´t use the offical version - use compiled versions...

So John now tell me why should I use "spytools" infested open source products?

Let me repeat we inform the people...

and they choose the way...

The Limewire version of Linux is free, and the Windows version don´t work without (only a compiled version! )...

So tell me John why should the Windows user pay your software, and why don´t you pay for it?

Wrong. Linux is the kernel. Just the kernel and nothing more. Little companies producing pretty useless programms with lots of ads just haven't discovered Linux as a platform.

I can't look at the source code of any linux app (borlands kylix for example) nor is there always a open-source version available. - Basically it would be possible to create commercial versions of Linux, sth like a Microsoft Linux (Windows XP is based on a BSD kernel which is more or less a linux-cousin).

As long linux has got a small market-share, companies sometimes give linux versions of their software away for free, but if that ever changed (for example if linux had a market-share of 10% of the desktops), they would consider making money with linux products and they would also write adware/spyware for linux.

Default Linux + GNU + Open Source

Good that we have GNU and many different open source movements together with a high count of alternative free software! Free of spyware and marketing promises.
Btw I thought XP is based on Win NT/2000 kernel and only winsock(2) is "borrowed" from BSD networking code?
