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, and no...... It does not remove ALL spyware, and there are very simple things which you can do so that even if you do have 'spy-ware' creeped into your machine, it will not be able to send any information out of your machine.

Also, it is not wise to simply install AdAware and then remove every file that appears after AdAware searches...... If you do not know what you are doing, you can easily delete H-Key files which are essential for running Windows.
Always do the 'back-up' until you have learned what is safe to delete and what is not.
AdAware is not without errors. It is also not invincible in it's detection abilities.

Go softly and carefully and remember that it is a simple matter of entering a text message into your Windows main folder to stop 99.9% of this garbage ever managing to send anything OUT from your machine.
THEY can hit you all they like, but you do not ever need to allow THEM to receive a reply from you.

Enter a 'hosts' file.
A correctly filled 'hosts' file which contains non-viable return addresses for each of the 'hosts' which are requesting returns from you for their own nefarious purposes.
'They' ask and you reply with a message that goes to 127.0.0.1 never-never land.

The hosts file, a blessing from above, the one thing Micro$oft did well. You can get a really complete hosts file here and for, what gave me a little performance boost, check out eDexter. It's just a companion to the hosts file and instantly sends back transparent minuscule gif files from your hard drive, instead of waiting for the connection to time out and error, which can take an eternity.

And for those who don't know, 127.0.0.1 is the IP address for *your* computer. I believe 0.0.0.0 works too, but although the 127 is sometimes a tad slower, it is far more proven to work in all situations.

Cheers!
