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. |

 Security Problem with Java Dear LW People A serious vulnerability has been found in the Java applet, see for further details. My question is this: Will this security flaw allow someone to hack into my PC when I am using LW Pro (International) or should I move over to LW Pro (English/USA), which can use different versions of Java, and avoid the security problem? UK Bob  |

| Java Security Flaw Cheers trap_jaw4 I use LW Pro (International), which uses Java V1.3, and at this time there is no way to get it to use later versions of Java. I suppose you could ask why don't I use the English/USA installation of LW Pro, which is able to use any installed version of Java. The simple answer is that LW Pro (International) is stable, i.e. I have had no real problems with it, and, apart from security, I value stability above everything else. UK Bob |

| There's been many many posts on the international vs english installers, and why the international one requires Java 1.3 right now. You can also install Java 1.4 side-by-side, and applets will use the more recent version. |

| Java Security Flaw Dear Morgwen I have sent many posts and had discussions with sberlin about LW Pro (International)'s inability to use anything but Java V1.3. However, when I get home tonight, I will download LW Pro V4.2.3 and re-download Java 1.4. I'll let you know how I get on. UK Bob |

| I'm just a bit curious. I installed english installer of LW 4.2.3 for windows today on somebody's comp. It asked for Java 1.3.x I stopped installation & installed 1.5 & then reinstalled LW. It didn't ask for java again. But why did it ask for Java 1.3 instead of asking for a later version or just 'Java'? Does that have something to do with minimum requirements & that's all it asks for? It also strangely happily connected despite xp firewall being on (without configuration for LW.) |

| Java V1.5 & LW Pro (International) Dear People I have installed LW Pro V4.2.3 (International) and I have Java V1.5 installed on my PC, trying to reinstall Java V1.4 did not entirely work because V1.5 was already there. However, LW Pro V4.2.3 did not recognise that Java V1.5 was installed and it is only using the Java applet it downloaded with, namely V1.3. As I said before, my main goal is to maintain stability over features because I use my PC for other important tasks, like home/internet banking, rather than just entertainment. Saying all that, I would still like LW Pro V4.2.3 to use my latest Java installation without having the bother of deleting V1.3. But I guess this is not to be. UK Bob |

| Win XP Firewall Dear LOTR I use WinXP SP1 along with Norton Personal Firewall 2003, I also use other protection software which is not relevant to this discussion. I have turned on my XP firewall, which is not really a firewall because although it will block some things from getting into your PC it will not stop anything from getting out. I understand that the SP2 firewall works in exactly the same manner. Therefore, there is no surprise that LW can access the Internet without any configuration of XP’s (so called) firewall. However, NPF2003 can auto or manually configure your PCs protection for both incoming and out going communications with the Internet and, in my opinion, is well worth having. UK Bob |
