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.

Lightbulb Solution to Child Porn, Viruses, Trojan Horses, and Other Files

It angers me when I download a file and go to scan it with my Antivirus program and find it Riddled with all sorts of Spyware, Viruses, and Other damaging stuff. Or when you download a video just to find out it has kids being forced to do stuff that no child should ever be forced to do! So, I propose an idea which hopefully will help us enjoy a error free p2p program.

Why can't we Vote off files!? The people that use Limewire -and correctly at that- Should have the option to vote off files! Every user of Limewire will sign-up and become a -for lack of better words "Moderator" Looking up files and Voting them off the Servers! let me explain the process, lets say for example there is a file called:

"Little girl in a Pink Dress.mpg"

"X" amount of Registered members with Limewire have downloaded and found out that this file contains "Child Porn" they have voted that the file needs to be removed and the IP address Banned Permantly along with their Account.

But, in order for this to work we need to make sure there is a way to make sure that Users are not just Voting off "Good" files just to be a Jack***, we can make it so there has to be a certain amount of Users Vote in order to have it kicked off and the User banned. I understand that people will find out a way to get around this system but we need to try, for our Childrens sake lets work this in some how!

Thumbs up Solution to Child Porn, Viruses, Trojan Horses, and Other Files

That's a great idea, which could work really well. As for people voting off good people and using the system against them, wouldn't the administrators be able to check porn posts of these users before blocking them?

Now explain exactly how the file is going to be removed and Banned Permanently. There are no servers on the Gnutella net just users like you and myself. In other words there are around 2,000,000 servers on the Gnutella net. And you are one of them. Perhaps you need to do some reading on the Gnutella net. Then come up with a workable solution.

ok heres some solutions in adressing IP's if we blocked all ip's that had or shared any of these files we ourselves could be blocked if we got the file accidentally since there are no servers involved in this we need to look at our individual programs, they could be modified to exclude these files from showing up in our searches (hopfully not excluding others) it would take some time and help from all of us to identify these files and i'm not only talking about the child porn this could work for all files unwanted by the majority of users for instance i have been getting alot of virus containing files and some that are just simply viruses by another name we would need somewhere to report these files in time when enough of them have been identified and sorted an update could be sent out having these files for whomever is sending them pourposly would be pointless and they would not even come through on our searches it is possible just like a list of peers being updated and whatnot.

Default solution?

if there are over 2 million users, and we all blocked each other, that would be funny. kind of like ignoring yourself in yahoo chat, before they made it so you couldn't do that anymore.

the best way to not receive stuff like that is to carefully pick your search terms. sorry, but if you're searching for "little girl in a pink dress," it doesn't take a genius to figure out what you're going to get. and for viruses? by scanning files & all, you're doing the best you can. there's always going to be some *insert favorite curse word/insult here* that can't act right. if you don't like what you end up with, delete it & try again.

however. the nice thing about the internet is you can turn the computer off & walk away. if you start to take it too personally, seriously, etc., then it's probably time to do just that.

I have found a sneeky way round this i know this is going to sound a bit evil but so what go on browse host i.e. child porn look what documents they have and see if theres any hotmail or e-mail or any thing you could use as "evidence" and report them to:-

http://www.iwf.org.uk/

with a picture of there e-mail or there ip adress might get this sort of thing banned from LIMEWIRE which apart from the viruses and child porn is an excellent network.

Sometimes this won't work cos they are shielded tho.But sometimes there not.

Terryt

A web site you found is very good and a starting point for reporting some online shenanigans in the UK.

It is just a pity that we do not have a central law enforcement point as they do in the US. This, I feel, is because we still have too many "backward looking" autocrats in positions of authority.

I'm new to Limewire & Forum. Grandpa's insite on no central sever was most helpfull. My complaint is about the amount of time wasted downloading a movie only to find out it has no sound, is a test pattern, has subtitles or has more skips/ hesitations in it than an NFL game does, for commercials. Why do people do this to fellow members ? First off label it properly & if it's good put it here. If it's S***, put it in the toilet. Stop wasting fellow members time.
Just a Nit
