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 Porno downloaded by itself?

My fiance always uses limewire to download songs. And the other day I had limewire open and picked songs for a playlist for our son to listen to and minimized both programs for the rest of the time I was online. I never opened up the window for limewire after choosing the songs and didnt search period, not for songs or nothing. When I got offline I rightclicked the limewire and closed the program. When he got home he went on to download more songs and saw there was 4 or 5 incompleted file downloads for girl oral sex with other girls. He asked if it was me and I told him I hadnt searched at all. There was no search history either since I didnt search for anything. BUt yet they were there in the incomplete file folder! He got real mad saying i was lying, and we have been fighting since wednesday over this. I have had enough and went searching these forums for proof that I couldnt have downloaded them and found the same thing happened to many other people in the same way, their limewire was on idle online and they found porno downloading, or they were using it and saw it downloading also. I showed him but he thinks its all a lie and that somehow our computer is special and it COULDNT do it to ours. So therefore he thinks Im lying. I found a thread whereit said people will push thru stuff like that thru a open port or it is a reult of a worm or something. He then said he has looked up porno stuff before and I told him somehow something HE downloaded brought a way for this to come in. I found threads about it, but yet he still thinks Im lying. This has been a constant fight and I KNOW Im not crazy, I didnt even touch the search section! I went to library, clicked on songs, and minimized it. So WTH?? I have never been interested in other girls, I dont even have many girl friends since I dont trust other girls. And he should know me better but all that doesnt matter. He still thinks Im lying so Im here as a last resort to prove I didnt do it. I know its happened to other people and i KNOW it happened to our computer. I just dont understand. Does anyone have any insight on this?? I already went thru and put filters and blocks on whatever I could tomake sure it wont hapen again but since Im new to this Im hoping others will have clues also~ If you got this far thanks!! I really need your help!

well...a firewall is a necessary component of online activities...studies show that on average a computer without a firewall lasts less than 20 minutes before another person (read hacker) takes control of the machine...simply put a firewall is a virtual wall that restricts communications to those approved by the user...it also contains definitions of current exploits so that it can block them...

I'm not informed about McAffe products but it does sound like at best your software is operating at restricted capabilities...if it is a warez product (i.e. downloaded/stolen software) and has been detected as such then its probably not working at all...

so it is possible that you have been hacked and said files placed in your queue...

what I wonder about is this angry reaction by your mate...I mean really, that sounds totally out of wack for a male to be so disturbed at this type of porn...here you live in one of the biggest cities of sin and this is his reaction?...you are obviously not bible thumping maniacs (since you are downloading) yet he acts like one...hmmmmmm....maybe you all need to see a counselor....

He said if I looked at it thats not the problem, he said lying about it is the problem. Which I understand, but I DIDNT download it. Theres a trust thing going on right now anyway for months. He just doesnt believe anything I say cuse I lied about something 7 months ago and hes taken it farther then it should have been. So its not the porn itself but the fact he *thinks* Im lying. I wouldnt be sitting here wasting my time if I was lying. I would dismiss it and act like I didnt care what he thought. But I dont want him thinking THIS about me. That bothers me since its so not true. Im pregnant with our third child and have been with him almost 10 years. You would think if I had interest in girls he would have known something was up years ago. BUt since i never would even think about that this is really stupid to me and Im trying to clear my name. Im tired of the fighting and just want him to see he is wrong. He doesnt think anyone can put stuff on your computer without you downloading it. I showed him thats wrong but he thinks its bulls**t anyway and that it cant happen. Although I have read about that plenty on here and we stopped using Kazaa years ago cuse it brought in alot of viruses. He just doesnt think this can happen so Im here to prove him wrong~ Thanks for explaining whats a firewall. i heard of them but didnt know what they were exactly~ I dont know whats up with the mcafee, we got this computer from someone else and it had stuff already on it and that was one of them. Maybe they downloaded it wrong or copied it. I dont know~~

Default Its a shame

Its such a shame that such a small thing has caused such a big misunderstanding,, but yes its true sometimes viruses can get in if pushed through especially since you dont have a firewall,, I dont know which operating system you are using, but Windows does have inbuilt firewalls which are pretty good,, do you use windows xp,, it has one all you need to do is turn it on,,, and even if you dont, if you are using windows, try downloading zonealarm (do a google search ) and you can download it.. the basic version is free.. and is sufficient and will even let you know if someone is trying to get into ur system, or if any programme (software) is trying to access the internet like your outlook mail box for e.g.,,, and dont bother about the antivirus thingie,, just uninstall it, and download AVG antivirus which is really good and free,, you can google that too,,firewall + antivirus will protect you from any such intrusions ..

And please tell your husband that often viruses take the name of a popular file and replicate in the gnutella network,, you see limewire works like this every computer connected online is a server and things can be downloaded and uploaded from it, its like that so if your comp is unprotected than things can get in,, it is possible,, you have to be careful downloading music too.. sometime viruses can masquerade as that too.. you have to see the file size does it look authentic.

Default Counselling

Amlanwildlife

It's obvious that mami2mininmino problem is nothing to do with computers, phantom downloads or anything technical, it is to do with "trust". Simply put, her partner does not trust her anymore and if it was not this "computer problem" it would be something else. You just can't reason with someone who is not prepared to be reasonable.

Not only that, I get the sense that mami2mininmino partner maybe looking for a reason to break up with her or is possibly angry that she is pregnant again. Either way, I get the feeling that she knows the real reason for this disagreement but is not yet ready to admit it to herself.

Therefore, and without any shadow of a doubt, I agree 100% with Peerless, this couple is in desperate need of counselling.
