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 sneaky sexy download

I am new gnucleus user and couple days ago I also accidentally downloaded a porn site masquarding as a music file.

Hint for future action. Look at details of file while still in search folder results if you are using gnucleus. This might give you some hints. My download came as an rar. file and installed itself when I accidentally clicked on wrong action to decompress file with rar utility.

Ok, how I got rid of it... I am running Windows 2000 Pro and cable modem so no phone modem connect. that seemed crucial to controlling costs as program wanted to auto set-up a dial up account. Windows Add/Remove could not even "see" it. i could hardly deal with it using Windows utilities because it was linked to my ip dial-up config in Internet Explorer and was giving me error message " sharing violation". I could not remove the exe. program from my WINNT folder either with Norton. I have Norton Systemworks installed and I used the "clean sweep" utility to remove the program subfolder by subfolder from start menu\Programs\porn site\subfolder.

Finally the only portion of the program left on the desktop was the icon in my bar and I could not remove it using Norton.

I accidentally clicked on the icon in the menu bar and tried clicking on the config button. Since most of the folders were in the recycle bin I figured worst I would get is Windows error message "path not found". Was I surprised to see one of the config options was "uninstall" I clicked this and got a window "program will be uninstalled upon restart". Worked.

hope this helps.

Wink Thanks, but s'ok now

I have gotten rid of it with the uninstall also but foudn there are files spread all over the place. Had no problems with dialup as we have cable modem and no regular modem either.

I had to go in through expolorer also and deleted a bunch and if all else fails search for x-finder, erotica, and websearch and it should find all and delete.

Very pesky thing though..........

Ok I didn't see anyone mention it but there is a program called Ad-Aware mad by Lavasoft that will scan your system and get rid of Scumware, Adware, Spyware etc. It has always worked on these scummy trojan progrms that litter my computer when I am doing un-safe surfing. Iconsider Ad-Aware to be just as inmportant as Norton AV on my computer and keep them both updated regularly. Ther is a freeware (no ads) version for just scanning and cleaning and a plus version that monitors you system and stop the crap when it tries to load. I use the freeware version. you can find it at

www.lavasoft.nu

And no I'm not connected with them in any way.

I must say I just come over all this by browsing after another problem.
There is no doubt that children are curious it's in their genes, we've all fallen prey to curiousity and of course the media doesn't help, yes there must be a way to stop porn on the world wide web but the question is, " do people want it stopped" porn is one of the biggest money spinners on this planet and there is millions capitalising on it, so I suppose the only thing we have is filters but then again they find ways of hiding it as a previous thread said.
And then come the SMART answer, "you shouldn't STEAL" is Limewire not a place for us to share files?? I understand we have a few SAINTS out there!! I don't consider it stealing, one can call it a LOAN and the person or persons I loan from will always be sure to get it back.
Lighten up we don't all have the expenditure to the absurd prices that these Program Magnets ask for. A forum is a place to give a resonable answer/solution to an irritating problem that many programs are programmed to give us bottom of the pyramid technical incompetents..........SLEEP WELL!........BigDin

I agree with BigDin. Porn is huge, and it's not going away anytime soon. If you have a mac, just get Bess or something (or something similar for windows), if you don't want you or your children to see it.

Thumbs up Reply to actortax

I have a 'Belt and Braces' operation, that means I have all the precautionary software available. Visiting ebay.co.uk or ebay.com which ever is appropiate I have purchased Norton Systemworks 2003 (£UK8.00), with www.RegVac.com which offers a trail download and then run Adware.co.uk. That plus running Windows XP Professional with a Zonealarm and an ADSL Modem/Router attached seems to keep my system clean and trouble free.

But if these people are using DSL, with dynamic ip addresses, would banning their ip only work till their ip address next switched?

Yes, and suppose the next user that is assigned with that banned IP also has Limewire running and is sharing a lot of good stuf, you won't be able to get it.
