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.

Thumbs down Child porno on limewire!!??

hey, i just created an account to write this because i don't know where exactly to express this serious issue.

recently while downloading videos i came across titles of child pornogropahy or in other words rape videos. I checked the ip adress and the hoster of the videos has an array of videos with the same child involved.

Although this is a free p2p program, content like this should not be aloud at all!. Im not gona talk or start something with this because i don't have time, IM just letting it out if it hasn't already. I suggest makin an update that does not allow certain words like Roygold and anyother words that refer to these videos on the file name so no one can really download this content.

You really should report this if the person has a static IP

Check over a few days, maybe a week if you get the same results from the same IP. This is because if the person has a dynamic IP then you could get someone that's completely innocent in heaps of trouble.

There are links i the thread below for reporting crimes like these. These sick perverted people have to be stopped.

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ght=Pedophiles

If you search the forum there are other threads about this issue as well.

I asure you that you are not the only one being offended by this

I also created this account for the sole purpose of protesting and notifying the powers that be of the problem of porn files. I like to look for rather obscure composers or pieces of music, but find that almost every search brings up zipped files with additions to the name I searched for -- additions like "naked", "BONUS", "cute girl has orgasm on webcam", "young and cute",or "BDSM". Because many of these are attached to zipped files, I would dream of downloading a Zipped file. I find it odd that the addition "cute girl has orgasm on webcam" came up on several searches for different titles. This phenomenon of porn files cluttering up the searches, but it is also frankly scary. It would be very easy to download one of these files by accident, and I suspect they frequently have viruses attached.

Yes this is still happening; I'm also experiencing this problem. When they come up in my searches; I mark them as JUNK. Here's a new one however; I'm searchng for games, for my four year son, right now, and I'm getting zip files that are SETUP programs for websites that promote POPUPS and Viruses. When I mark them as JUNK, they imediately get back in as NOT JUNK. Let's do our best, and keep doing it. They won't win in the end- God bless you though!

Wow, I did not know limewire had something like that... Could you really download a picture or video of porn by accident? I only download music so I do not know much of this.

Lightbulb Taking Out the TRASH!!!

Yes; it's very dishearting to find such garbage to take out all the time. I'm gong to ask LimeWire to provide me with some Garbage Bags. But look; we can't hold LimeWire to all the responsibility of this problem, we as free members must take the opportunity to help LimeWire keep this from continuing.
But please remember; if people keep subscribing [by accepting the downloads of these kind of offers], They must remember that downloads are recorded, and the member's ID is marked. And further; the tags are permantly left on your hard drives, even after deletion, so there is no excuse to be a reason that someone did not know. Being NAIVE as adults is not excuseable.
I understand that the authorities are devising and implementing actions to indite pedophiles, and they are accomplishing their endeavors with great sucess. I applaud them, DO YOU? God Bless them, please.

What are you talking about? LimeWire doesn't save "tags", there is no such thing as undeleteable
data and there is no such thing as a "member ID" in LimeWire or any other gnutella program.

Gnutella is no place to get games anyway.
There's a lot of spam and malware being pushed out there.
Try safer places like the original websites.
