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 WARNING: Child pornography is being shared by P2P file sharing programs like limewire

Child pornography is being shared on yours and your partners P2P file sharing programs! I suggest you block out the files from being shared on kazaa and limewire, it's getting people arrested by the F.B.I.

Good! They should be arrested for child porn. No one should fear, however, if they unknowingly download child porn. You won't get arrested for one file. The FBI wants people with hoards of it.

Angry Still On P2p Networks

I am appauled that there is still child porn available on limewire. I was downloading a video, so I thought, and low and behold. Two very young children, girl and boy, in a very nasty setup. Well now I am on my 4th monitor and had to get a cast for my hand. The wife told me to just get rid of limewire. I like limewire because i can download a lot of Indie music and actually like the searches that are found off the net.

Yeah I know grow up. I have a 2 children as well. Is there anywhere i can report an IP that I happen to come across to report it or is it really true that they only want ppl with hoards. I also noticed something called "keyword edited" after i did a search of superman 2 with richard pryor. DON'T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING WITH THAT NAME. I do wish i have known before that before my $400 dollar replacement. N E WAY!! I am located in Canada and need to know where to report an IP

This thread has many links that you can report them to. Just be careful who you report so you don't report someone innocent that just downloaded one or two files by mistake. And remember to note the time of the download since many of these perverted souls use dynamic IP's

How can you innocently download two or three files?.Okay i have been a victim of that but if it isn't what it says it is i shred it using shred it.I have reported the serious "collectors" by searching the hosts files and if they have loads i report there ip.Saying that there was a case recently here locally where a guy was using limewire to download child porn images and when the file was downloaded he was changing the name [right click rename] and the police found 300 files all called things like disney 1 or childrens movie this is evil people innocently searching for disney clips/trailers/cartoons are downloading them and finding child porn.I report them.Scum.

I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like that. Maybe because I don't usually download children's movies + I am a long time user of Limewire, so I know how to search pretty well.

I also use the Keyword Filter to filter words that imply anything KP related, so most of the results you are talking about never show up in any of my searches. Mislabeled files are off course not that easy to block, but I have been lucky so far. Also use Bitzi to see if the files have been rated good or bad before downloading.

I think people should report those perverts but still like I said make sure first that it in fact is someone "evil" and not some innocent person that has downloaded something of that nature by mistake.

Things like writing down the date and time of the download are very important, since dynamic IP's do change often. Also maybe taking a screen shot when you browse the host and other things like that. These things will not only prevent innocent people from getting in trouble, but will most likely help the authorities build a case against the offender

The reason I didn't mention that was because I very much doubt that many people, that don't know how to avoid these files, will know what location the results come from just by looking at an IP. Or know the laws for that specific country. Also if they are using Proxy to connect through it will not be easy to decide where an IP originates. (For the normal Limewire user that is. For the autorities it is easier.)

It should be a thing for the authorities to decide, if they have any chance of pursuing these sickos or not. The fight against KP is multinational and they work together on it as far as I know.
