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.

Angry unwanted downloads

hi im a limewire user and after I successfully downloaded [Edit], I checked my shared folder and found that there were an extra 1200 or so more files that I DID NOT choose to download in my shared folder. So I decided to go to "My Computer" to my shared folder and deleted all these unwanted files- which mostly consisted of programs and some of which were sick stuff- rape games and Angelina Jolia Sex games and other stuff like this. After deleting these unwanted files they were finally gone, but after restarting the comp., these files came back, and increase each time I turn the comp. on. PLS HELP!!!!!How can I stop this?

Hi there, anne_may040 !
Your post has been edited because we do not allow references to copyright infringement within the Gnutella Forums.
To be more honest with you, the BIG CHEESE who is actually boss of these wonderful forums inadvertantly relegated your post to an obscure place far away from any public view.
Hey, at least you know someone is paying attention to you, right ?
Some of the Moderators felt that your post was more than important enough to be reinstated with a suitable edit.
We now hope that your post will receive the answers it deserves and will benefit not only you but the many others who have suffered the same problem.

Have fun...

I saw that one of your posts had been removed by the Administrator because you mentioned copyrighted material you had downloaded.

So I felt it only right to let you know the reason.

It's not acceptable to mention particular files by name, if you need help about a particular problem, you need to be general in your descriptions, if this includes problem files.

Use terms like 'A large File' or something similar.

Your problem is real and needs to be addressed quickly.

Get an anti-virus prog straight away and run it..

I recommend AVG... go here and make sure you download the free version..

http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl7.php

----------------------------
Also.. look at anti-trojans.... this is a free trial

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/

------------------------
and.... this is also free....

Spybot...

http://www.safer-networking.org/

If none of this works.. come back and see if the guys can help you any further. You may need to delete stuff in safe mode and I've never done that myself.. but I can find out, if no-one comes back to tell us.

Finally, be very, very careful about downloading stuff, especially .exe files.

Hi, gang...

Hey, not sure why you're jumping on the "virus bandwagon"...

This could also, and far more likely, be a case of a nut/weirdo/creep/jerk who has "bundled' a lot of garbage, AND maybe some malicious application, into a 'popular' file for downloading... Rare for any of the anti-virus programs to catch that sort of junk.

A tip for you, anne_may040... When you are going after those 'very popular' files, look for those which have the large number of sources, i.e. the maximum number of ppl sharing EXACTLY the same file with exactly the same size... (The 'match' of an exact file name is not so important.)

This will not completely avoid the problem that you have experienced, but, at the least, you'll know that others are also suffering !
(Joking !)

Yes possible, but such sex files often contains viruses. And what is more important after she deletes the files they come back and increase - this sounds for me like some sort of a worm!

Kath suggested the best way.
