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.

Yes an interesting point. Lets leave everyone do what ever they want and nobody stick there nose in. That way we'll all be happy right. Why do theose nasty policemen monitor road speed, and store detectivers try to stiop the hard working thief. I mean those pescy virus scanners are such a pain for the hardworking code writers. I think this concpet has a political basis. Thats right it "ITS's CALLED ANARCHY!"

Exclamation UPDATE

AT LEAST SOMEONE IS INTERESTED ENOUGH TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!

We at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received the information that you reported to IC3.gov. Thank you for making a report. All of the information you provided is currently accessible by those federal law enforcement agencies handling child sexual exploitation.



I have some additional questions regarding the incident:



1) What is the nickname or username of the suspect sharing the file?

2) What is the exact date and time of the incident? What is your computer time zone?

3) What is the IP address of the suspect sharing the illegal material?

4) Was the file downloaded and viewed? If yes, please describe.



If you downloaded any of the material in question, you may now be in possession of illegal child pornography. Even if you have deleted the file, it may still be present on your computer. In addition, other users on the P2P network may be able to upload the file from you. We generally suggest that you contact law enforcement in your area and request assistance in removing the file from your computer.



Please let me know about the above when you have a chance.



Thank you for your help,

Kimberly

NCMEC

Nice work! I presume you provided the ip address & date.

BTW There's a no. of free utilities around that can permanently delete files from your hard disk drive. Here's one & a list of more at the bottom of the page: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...d,22393,00.asp

And here's some more: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0....&search=+Go%21

Hey everyone;

Thanks for the links to reporting this behaviour. I can't believe that in this day and age this sort behaviour is actually occuring in the world.

I use LW and I have some questions:

I like to know how to block all this material from the searches. I mean I have the block adult content on; it still gets through. I type in key words....and still it gets through. It's annoying, frustrating, and it saddens me that somewhere there is a child in need of help.

Why can't LW just have music only instead of vid's and pics.

Default NCMEC? Really?

This message is in response to Ms. Kimberly of the NCMEC, who posted (or was quoted) above.

I am relieved and gladdened to see somebody on the "inside" add to this discussion. As to your "additional questions," I am a bit puzzled by number four. I would like to know how somebody reporting this stuff could download and view it and avoid any type of culpability themselves. I don't think I need to tell you that many times these files are downloaded accidentally by people that have no desire or intention whatsoever to view this type of material. Forcing them to watch and "describe" it rings of entrapment to me.

Also, I would be curious to find out more information about the prosecution and tracking of child pornography files via P2P. A cursory glance of the posts in this and other threads will reveal many people that have accidentally downloaded a file of this nature and are now in fear of their freedom and lives. I have a friend that works for my state's district court, and his response to this issue is that significant cause must be shown to the court by the authorities to investigate anyone on these types of charges, and somebody that has accidentally downloaded this material--and has subsequently deleted it and beyond--has nothing to worry about should the authorities confiscate their machine (a foregone conclusion). There are several steps in which people investigate the facts, and they must determine that there is enough evidence to proceed in order for them to do so.

What are your (or anyone's) thoughts?

Default Just seen this

If you were in the security forces, then you would know how to track an Ip Address, the first thing I learned in the Armed Forces is how to do that,

You would also know that all connections in the UK go through 2 computers, which is constantly monitered for security reasons (won't tell you where, you should know)
You should also be aware that you can browse the person your getting your film from you can get their Ip address, then you can track them back, to where they are.
One other thing, You should also know that your ISP can retrace every move you made on the Internet, every site, IP address, exct

Now If you were in the security forces you should know this

By the way 5220.25M, is a pile of rubbish, all it does really is gets rid of the stuff out of the recycle bin, and deletes the top of the file (It is not meant to secure the hard drive)
And as you should also know No file that has been deleted can not be recovered, even using Military software, we were told to open the hard drives, take out the disks, and burn them, or destroy them anyway possible

Can I just say, Ive meat some of these people, and they are NOT sick, they are simply evil... no I'm not a God botherer, but when you have had honset conversation as I have (don't ask) with people like this, it becomes obvious that they weren't in the original plan.

Default Pedo discussion...let's cool down a little...

OK...I''ve read all 30 odd posts about the "pedo" search on LW/FW, etc...all I can say is take it easy.

Pedophilia is difficult to understand, and abhorrent to most people in the world (jokes about Greek families nonwithstanding). But, as with all true "addictions", this is a case where the brain, etc., has taken over from concious choice. These people are truly not in control of their conciousness. And rather than vilifying them (because villification will only make them harder to find), we should be (a) neutralizing their efforts, by vigilantly pursuing those who try to promulgate their stuff on P2P networks, and (b) isolating them in controlled environments so we can begin to understand just what could make some people want to do this.

Also, this whole subject of underage sex is a very slippery topic (no pun intended). Sure, it's easy to single out the perv next door who's taking digital snaps of your 5-year-old daughter's privates in the bathroom, but what about the art photographer taking sensitive nudes? What about the traditional naked baby on the rug shots? And what about teenage sex? If I have a 17-year-old son having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend, does/should that sex become illegal when he turns 18? (I don't think so, but I'm f*c*ing POSITIVE that some jerk is gonna reply to me, quoting god and megadeath that such acts are REPREHENSIBLE to the REAL god.) And what about the age of consent? In IL it's 18; in other states it's 16; in the Netherlands it's 14. Who's right?

I urge you to keep up the good fight to keep kid porn off P2P networks. And I also urge you to have compassion for the people who are controlled by their desires for such stuff. And don't give me that free-will BS...people who desire this stuff DON'T have a free will anymore. I'll take that to the bank.

Default At Last Some Sanity

Kudos to Mike for the above post. Not only was it well said, but well thought out to boot.

I agree that pedophiles do not have a "choice" in the matter. What is true in most cases is that these people have been sexually abused as children. The massive phsychological damage that results from these experiences very often evolves into a taste for pornography involving children, which in its own twisted way perpetuates the results of the abuse. Those pedophiles that act on their impulses and abuse children then cause those children to become pedophiles, and on and on.

While I'm by no means defending pedophilia or child pornography, I think it's important to keep things like this in mind. Yes, it most definitely is sick, but in a way it's also sad.

In reference to "taking it easy," all I can say is that a large number of people that use LW to download legit porn have, at least once, come across something questionable with regard to age. Some examples I've seen are clearly NOT of age, and some are close enough to legal to give one pause. Regardless, most people the come across the stuff freak out, thinking that in five minutes the FBI will be knocking at their door. The worst part about is that there does not seem to be much good information out there about what should be done when this happens. Another problem is that a lot of porn now is of the homemade (or "amateur") variety, and the age of these people, regardless of what the filename may say, is very likely impossible to verify (for either us or the authorities). What about that stuff? Should a file claiming that it's of somebody 17 years old be taken literally? When does prudence give way to paranoia?
