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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

Wink Re: Re:Lee

That may be true and I am aware of this. I have some PR people looking into it for me. However, my primary purpose for the site is to let people know what I am doing. But thanks for the offer and I would be highly interested if your serious about following up on the offer to redesign of course you could take the credit for the design.

Thanks for your reply,

I responded to the person who posted this message and offered him the opportunity to redesign the site if he wanted to. I think most people probably understand now the site isn't intended to be a place for people to hang out it's just there to provide information about what we do. BTW I have a lot of new stuff online I'll be bringing up the servers this evening to access the content on Gnutella just do a search for [CBT, WMV, Full, EXE] or visit http://networking.leeware.com

I think that Lee's site is very useful. There is no question of that.

I also think that most porn sites are not done well. They are to busy and very irritating to the eye.

I just wondered if there is still a chance to get in trouble with the RIAA if I have taken all those files off my computer, and have uninstalled and gotten rid of LimeWire. I just did that today, so I didn't know if there was a way of them tracking all the stuff I had downloaded in the past.

thanks

let's say you get caught, are found guilty, and then refuse to pay the fine...what happens then??? go to jail??? mwahahahahha...let's say everyone refuses to pay the fine...I really don't think there are enough prisons to hold all the ppl, let alone pay the cost to keep them prisoner...ahahahahahahhaha..

I imagine that the first thing they'd do is try to get the money through your employer via your wages. I suspect they'd also jack around your credit rating until you paid. We really don't do debtors jail anymore. Unless the sentence imposed by a judge gives you the option.

They collect the information in advance so deleting the files at this point is like being caught on camera with your hand in the cookie jar and thinking that leaving the kitchen will keep those investigating the matter from knowing it was you.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

However, There is a point in which they validate the content being served by a particular host unfortunately this is all done with in a very small windows of time so it may only be a matter of time before you hear something. I only suggest that if you have stopped sharing copyrighted information, consider continuing to support p2p by hosting non-infringing content. Trust me all of your legal issue regarding p2p use will magically disappear.

Default what to share

it seems that the content that catches most attention are mainstream audio and video content. the less top-ten-megastar a file is, the less likely the weasels at cogent, baytsp, etc. are going to search for it. in the long run this is going to help less well-known artists find an audience, because sharing their stuff is less risky.

of course, the safest way is to share content that is legal, which surprisingly is not just boring educationals and linux ISOs.

there's a ton of live performance recordings of popular artists over at furthur that can be legally shared. i donwloaded some content from there and am now sharing it both on furthur and limewire, these files are increasingly popular.

(www.furthurnet.com)

and then there's the artist promotion initiatives from bearshare and more recently limewire.

there's plenty of opportunity to share cool legal content, if you do some research.

and if youre really paranoid, try www.freenetproject.org.

It goes on to tell of the U.S. Government installing "black boxes" at ISPs to track people's internet surfing, downloading, etc... Has anyone here ever heard of this???

Have any of you gotten these pop-ups (it took over my whole screen!)? Is it just a marketing ploy because of the recent RIAA investigations??? I was thinking I might have to change my ISP..

Has anyone heard of these? If anybody knows anything about this, pleeease tell me.. thanks

Laura
If you enable your firewall after you're done using limewire, those popups should disappear....

You have to disable the firewall whenever you use Limewire next.
