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.

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. |

 Strange upload, Am I being targeted? I was on the network last night and when I checked my uploads, the first file uploaded was a text file: iTunes Music Library.xml If I view this file in my text reader, it is basically a coded list of my songs and playlists. Why and how would anyone get this? I'm just feeling a little paranoid. Boris  |

| Are you sure it's a list of YOUR iTunes playlist? Macs are given a certain default playlist, ie: with each installation we automatically get tunes that come with iTunes. I can't even find an .xml file on my entire computer. Do you have an AV app? If so it might be an idea to check just in case. Apparently there's certain sources out there that identify gnutella searches & utilize it in sertain ways. If anybody is sharing their entire iTunes lib as I do, then I suppose it's up for anybody to identify these files. Be warned!: xml's found on the gnutella are very suspicious files, don't be opening them will you. Do a search of 'xml' on the forum (without the rabbit ears of course.) See post 6 of Quality of Content on the Network . |

| Lord of the ring: are you sure you know how to search?  Do apple-f in the finder and search for .xml, one of the result will be iTunes Music Library.xml in /user/music/itunesThis means that Boris shares his iTunes folder, that's all. You can find "iTunes Music Library.xml" by searching "iTunes Music Library.xml" in LW with any type or by browsing the shared folders of an user. If the user love the same type of music as you, you can be tempted to download his "iTunes Music Library.xml" to get to know other artists and tunes, that's all. This is not a virus and while I don't use that mean to find content I might like, this a great idea to do so. Some people are "really" paranoid....  And no LODR, you don't need an AV on mac... I had to post, this thread was too paranoid...

| My apologies. However I did search .xml on both HDD's & but I realised I accidently did an exact result. Actually I do have such a file as well as heaps of Dreamweaver, FCP & 3D xml files. Sorry for my mistake, so U can ignore much of what I said. der... something so basic... Take me bak to os9 please. hehehe Oh re: mac viruses - I've never come across one in OSX or over the net, but I have come across 2 old mac pre-osx viruses (both via fellow students). One affected my computer & I caught the other beforehand. And that's in over 10 yrs. Thanks et voilà for straightening me out. Pity u couldn't do it more often.

| Good on you griff3, you tell them! Funny how microsoft can't keep away from copying mac gui's. xp is so mac, it's a joke. Yet ms never gets anything right. As griff3 pointed out. How many bugs do ms users have to put up with with each update. Talk about incompetence. Yeah & that issue about crashes; that's one part of osx I really do love! The ram management of osx is very reassuring. ms os's even limit the ram their users can use. Wonder why. I can use 3 os's simultaneously on my comp, chicagojohn is restricted to a single bug infested, extremely virus prone, limited os (unless you're programming I guess.) [xp Sounds like a critter from LOTR.] "cool waters" get very cold when something goes wrong. hehehe I had to get u back! |

| Cold H2O is Good For The Constitution LOTR: I find it interesting that you didn't know you can run Multi OS in Windows. Further I avoid 98% of the "issues" that come to Windows users because I treat my system like a lady--a high class raven haired beauty with a fine engine and big, ahem, ahem, towel please! Seriously, Many of the issues people complain about in Windows can all be easily fixed, bypassed, etc. with some simple logic and planning. If you take the time to anticipate issues and read current Windows Tech docs you can have a really nice system. I'd say 99% of the end-user problems I deal with are because of something they did--not the OS. The few Mac OS clients I've dealt with have issues too--just of a different nature. You missed the part of my response that said, "...both OS' have their strengths and weaknesses." You know the old song, "Anything you can do, I can do better....?" Well... I forgot what I was going to say... It's 0300, time to go to bed.... Best CJ |
