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.

Default OT: Hackers stick it to the RIAA

From the Viruslist.com Newsletter by Kaspersky Labs:

Yesterday, August 29, the Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) had its Web site defaced and was forced to take it offline for
repairs.

The RIAA refused to admit that its site had been entered and defaced but
acknowledged their site is offline and will be back soon.

With its protectionist stance towards P2P file sharing sites such as
Napster, Morpheus, KaZaA etc., the RIAA is not a popular organization
among many Internet users and has therefore become a favorite target for
hackers. Reportedly the RIAA site is well protected and presents a
formidable challenge to anyone trying to hack it. The successful hack
and defacement of the site has drawn largely positive reactions on
weblogs such as Fark.com (http://www.fark.com).

The RIAA's legal stance that online music sharing violates copyright
law, and is therefore illegal, is a position that irks many Internet
users who see believe it is their right to share files.

The RIAA reported this week that Music industry sales are down 7% in the
first half of this year, a decline that the RIAA attributes directly to
on-line music trading. A 7% decline represents a decline in U.S. dollars
to the tune of $280 million. Such figures suggest that the fight between
content owners such as the RIAA and file sharing sites and their users
will be a long and nasty one.

Of course the 7% could also be because many companies went bust and the economy stinks .. but i guess they will grab any excuse to blame it on the sharing people.

And the 7% loss couldn't be because of the fact that the record industry hasn't put out a run of decent albums in years.

Naaaa!

Unless the RIAA acutally has proof that online trading has caused the downturn in sales, I wish they'd just knock off their whining. I agree with everyone so far.......it's the economy!

Paying $13+ for a CD with just over a 1/2 hour of music (an older Offspring CD is my example) isn't encouraging people to buy them either!

The 7% decrease is significant. Since CDs were first introduced in 1983, there hasn't been a decrease in sales, despite economic downturns, wars, other entertainment choices, etc. That is, until 2001, when sales were down 5%. Now, halfway through 2002, they're down 7%. Meanwhile, in 2001 Napster was huge and KaZaA was taking off. Every computer today is sold with a CD burner. Blank CD-Rs are way cheap.

It's hard to not attibute the decrease to P2P when even a quick glance at the posts in this forum say "Why would I buy a $20 CD when I can download it for free?"
