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.

Question Question About Child Porn?

How do you report someone?
And whom do you report them to?

I am getting tired of downloading a movie file that has no keywords indicating its illegal porn only to preview it and to find that’s its child porn!!

I don’t want to here any crap about "Someone’s Freedoms"
No one has a right to obtain child porn.

Any one who defends the right to obtain child porn,
Well, then you must have a lot of it.

I can’t wait to see what kind of response I get to this post.

Okay, Peerless, don't bite my head off or anything, just a friendly, hypothetical discussion here, but are you saying that people who watch (and I am by NO means defending the actions of people who do) are pedophiles? Or just the warts on the butt of society that need to be surgically removed? I would hate to seem to be on their side, but unfortunately, their rights are protected by the First Amendment in the US at least, and if we were to deny them that right, then the movies, cd's, etc. that you enjoy could be deemed unacceptable and your right to view such material would be restricted. Who would determine the criteria and govern such decisions? It's a fine line we all walk and I agree with you totally, people who watch and enjoy kiddie porn are not working on all cylinders, hangin's too good for 'em, burnin's too good for 'em, they should be torn into itty bitty pieces and buried alive as far as I'm concerned, but legally, they do have that right, as abhorrant and disgusting the thought may be.

So, let me have it and be gentle with me, okay? LOL!

Default KP

Dear Wild Peach & Peerless

This hypothetical discussion you are having about first amendments rights is interesting for US citizens but we in the UK have no such rights, KP is illegal and that is that. Anyone caught with it, in physical form (pictures) or electronic (on computer) will be prosecuted, no "ifs" or "buts".

However, I think you guys miss a very important point, KP is not like ordinary porn, that is produced by an amateur or professional industry, KP is made within families or, to put it another way, KP is the filming of child abuse within dysfunctional families.

How you go about stopping child abuse is another subject but if you could you would effectively kill off KP.

So, I do not believe KP is about the rights of the individual it should be about the rights of a child to be a child.

Default KP (again)

Peerless

I take it that NAMBLA is purely a US pressure group because I do not believe it exist in the UK.

I do agree with you that KP should not exist and that it is way outside of what any reasonable person would include as "rights".

But KP exist because abuse within the family exist and, to broaden the subject, child abuse also exist within the "care" system, i.e. churches, orphanages, foster homes and anywhere else a few “so called” adults hold enormous power over children.

That is where KP comes from and that is where it should be stopped.

Peerless:

I love the compassion that you show for the children of this world, it shows that you truly have a good and genuine heart, however, most abusers have been abused at some point in their lives and I don't know, maybe their behavior can be reversed, but what they need is help. Like I said, I agree with you, they're sub-humans, at this particular point in their lives, but you've got to believe in the power of redemption. I personally don't think that kind of material should be available here, but the ultimate remedy for that is not to view it at all. If we all feel that way, then the material would theoretically disappear, because without demand, there's no need for supply. But it's apparent that SOMEONE'S watching it and until we rid the forum and the world for that matter, this will never stop. Pedophiles have been on the Earth since time eternal, maybe we shoulld let a higher power take care of justice.

One Love,

Wild Peach

Default Child Abuse/Pornography

Dear Wild Peach

I agree with your sentiment but, I'm afraid, that is all it is, you said:
Quote:
Pedophiles have been on the Earth since time eternal
This is an important point because KP is the filming of child abuse, which has been around forever. As long as there is child abuse there will always be someone to film it. But if we can stop child abuse, child solders, child prostitution, etc. KP will then stop.

Not knowing about the horrible things in the world will not make them stop, which is what you are suggesting, tackling the root problem is the only solution.
