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.

Default Viruses In Larger Files Too!

I just had to go through hell whiping it from my system. So, there goes the myth that viruses/trojans/worms come in small packages. I dont know how because I dont download software or games, just music but I got infested. Gnutella is really going downhill. Is there any straight free music networks out there besides Gnutella?

Either these hacks are getting smarter or I did something real stupid. I only download MP3 files or what I though was an MP3 file which was pretty large. or it was software renamed as a MP3 still cant figure it out. Not to name it but I tried to dl a full album.

I cant say it on here but what I found inside thanks to my AV was not a MP3 file so beware what you download, no matter how big or small and no matter what extension. Guess I'll stick to MP3 singles from now on.

It kinda takes the fun out of downloading, doesn't it? I use the free version of AntiVir XP and it has saved my hard drive more times than I can count. I cant see how anyone can download without an AV! If I just stick to the MP3 singles, I seem to be fine. But I have been scanning those too just incase.

Default Hi-Jackings

Sphinx & Limewirer

I wholeheartedly agree with you guys about not venturing onto the network without your AV running but, as you know, we (the converted ones) are not the problem, it newbies and novices.

Anyway, there seem to be an increase in hi-jackings, users "jacked" away from the LW site and taken to a scam site. Again, this is caused by victims (mainly newbies and novices) not protecting their PCs.

When will they ever learn.

What on earth makes you think WinMX was or is virus free I used WinMx for many years and there are as many viruses on it as there are anywhere else. Scan Scan Scan always protect yourself

LOTR What I dled I thought was a full album it turned out to be software renamed. It had an MP3 extension. They are now getting clever in their titles as well as extensions. The software blew me away and gave me a fail safe mode in windows, thats how bad it was. Never again. Like I said, beware, as they are now placing viruses in larger files too. If it wasnt for my AV I'd be in the middle of a ugly reformat.
