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. |

 Obviously if this becomes law in the US, Apple will be forced to manufacture TCPA-compliant computers for the US market. What I find even more frightening is that this is taking place in a country where people will march in the streets against, say, motorcycle helmet laws as an infringement of personal freedom. I can already see a 1984-ish underground with rickety old OS 9 Macs and Pentium 3 boxes...  |

| Here in Australia we have a government that considers toadying to the USA a matter of pride (we just can't wait to start bombing Iraq) and we have a communications minister who has trouble distinguishing a PC from a TV (for all the wrong reasons) so we'll be trying to get to the head of the line for PC fascism compliance (we already inhibit broadband use by putting in pace 'pay for data transfer fees' that mean you can use up your monthly 300 gig allocation in 30 minutes after which you pay punitive 'excess' fees) - so - I'm at a loss really I'll happily switch to macs if it means a year or two longer of using the internet the way I have/want to - but - here too - people will march in the streets to protect their right to have huge (pedestrian killing) 'bull-bars' mounted on their cars but when it comes to this they'll accept the line that 'this is good for you but bad for those evil internet pirates' its all extremely irritating and I really don't see a viable/effective stance to adopt to oppose it sad_mad_(soon to be obsolete)_vlad |

| Back to the original impetus behind the first posting (which apparently overtaxed the cognitive powers of the poster immediately above): the German porno dialers also use sneaky spam -- without telltale html -- trying to get the recipient to download one of these dialers. I got one just the other day (relayed through an open proxy in Brazil) inviting me to visit one of their sites. |

| I am not the same unregistered who replyed earlier to this thread...but I would like to say "you are not the only one" I also d/l this same file but luckly did not completely install it. Being new also to p2p I didn't catch the size until it was too late! Luckly I only installed all this nioce "links" to these sites which might I add took me a whole hr to remove from my pc.....arguh! Afterwards, I learned my lesson very well and check everything b4 I d/l or install it! This may I add is a very good thread for those newbies to p2p/file sharing to learn to watch out for this sort of thing and also how to correct it if they do happen to run into this situation |

 to the originator of the thread If you want Win32 XP-Pro, you should buy it for 200$. If your son wants 20$ worth of music, he should buy that to. But in that universe, and in that universe only; you have a right to complain about filthy internet-worms with porn embedded. In this one, you should have kept your mouth shut, and dealth with the problem by your own account. If I steal a car, and the tire is flat, I don't go to round advertising it. I shut up and move on. btw: If somebody "uploads" a file (from your point of view): It's allready been downloaded by you (or your sanctamonious son). |

| I recently had a similar situation happen to me. I was looking for a audio file & got a search result that matched my search description, but instead of a mp3 file, it was a zip file. I made the mistake of unzipping & opening it ( after doing a virus scan ). It unzipped into 2 files ( one of the files was named "open me first" ) , & the other "I believe" was named _x-finder.exe . If you see these files, don't open them, DELETE THEM!!! Although they are not seen as viruses, they will install a program that takes you out to porn sites & will seemingly register your e-mail account with these sites. I'm not going to get into the right or wrong of file sharing. People have been copying songs as far back as I can remember. This zip file was obviously planted to discourage file sharing, but I'm still on LimeWire. |

 Win XP Pro is not the only download that's corrupted. Win XP Pro is not the only download that's corrupted. ... On 9/2/02 I was able to download a bogus zip file which was supposed to be a Harry Potter audio file. Instead it was a file that unzipped to 2 exe files. The 1st file was named " CLICK-ME- FIRST.exe", the 2nd was named "setup.exe". If you open these files, you'll wind up with a porn-finding utility on your system. (none of these files will show up as a virus, but they may as well be). As of 9/2/02 the ip address sharing this & other suspect zip files is 66.250.52.242. Will this individual be sharing from this same address tomorrow? Who knows? My question to you is - if there is a user on the network that is spreading distructive files, what can be done to stop it? Or is there a way to warn other users? |

| stop wining! Just put him in your banned ip slot.. One way to find people like this, throwing corrupted files on the net is to search for ANYTHING (i do not mean the word anything but replace it with a word you like), and note all the 28K .mpg .asf .jpg .mp3 .html .vbs hits that are reported. Some klients reports hits just for fun and points the hits to webservers in order to generate traffic. Just ban the MF from your client and he won't pollute you any more. As for this perticular one, he has been on the net for a while now, polluting like a madman. Probably just some kind of lame *** 14-year-old kid being a wise-guy. Or maybe an important part in an international conspiricy where the americans aim to dominate thought all over the planet and start colonizing other starsystems and sh*t... I do not really know. JUST BAN THE PEOPLE BEING *****LES and the world will be a better place, and quit wining about the negative effects of freedom!! --------------------------------------------- quote: As of 9/2/02 the ip address sharing this & other suspect zip files is 66.250.52.242.
