Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Lower yourself????

I happen to like hip-hop and rap (well, some of it anyway) so I suggest you use your brain before you start posting your "stupidity" on an open world-wide forum.

lol

maybe he didn't know how to exactly phrase his question...

but, I do have really hard time listening to music that talks about
"slapping bitches", "shooting nigg*rs" and other type of BS.

It is quickly becoming one of the biggest problems here in the states,
Before you jump out at Bigjerr think at least for a minute,
is that how you want UK to be like? (assuming you're from UK)
A far as I know... I'd want to be anywhere but u.s. and Iraq, ... and those tolitarian countries...
afaik, uk and aust. is one of those last good places left. not much problems there.

I mean, nothing against you, maybe the hip-hop and rap in uk is really different and violence levels are low there.
**** here is bad take it from me who was raised in the ghetto side of s. ca

Default Hip Hop, Violence and other ills of Society

Vicarious

First of all, I am from the UK, born, raised, live and work in London. And as a married man with two grown up sons I do get to hear some hip hop music which are questionable.

Now, in the US you associate violence with hip hop, you may have good reasons for this, as I am not a US citizen I cannot know or experience what you have gone through but you must understand that violence does not exist because the music exist. More than likely it is the other way around, i.e. a situation exist so people sing about it as a form of expression.

And you know as an American that throughout your history African Americans of always expressed their current problems through song, be it Spiritualism (Church singing), Blues, Soul or now, the 21st format of hip hop. That is why I cannot, and will not, dismiss hip hop as rubbish.

In time to come, the bad hip hop songs, like any bad songs, will be forgotten and the good ones will be seen as a form of expression, dealing with and expressing current problems that the rest of the American media want to brush under the carpet.



UK Bob

PS. We have our fair share of violence etc. in the UK, just accept that there are very few places left in the world where a person and his family can live in peace and harmony.

i work for the ministry of justice and it is well known in my line of work that this 'gang' music does encourage young individuals (young black men especially) to turn towards crime. they hear these 'artists' boasting about shootings and robberies in their song lyrics, and then see the 'artists' driving round it top quality mercedes and ferraris in their videos.

only 3 words to say mate. South London, Stabbings ???

Make no mistake, I am well aware of the killings that are happening with sickening regularity in South London, hence my comment:

Now, I do not doubt that there are some idiots out there that let some aspects of hip hop influence their behaviour but that is not true of everyone that commits a criminal act.

And don’t forget the new forms of art and various opportunities that hip hop has given to some youngsters.

(At this moment I am watching J-Lo's Dancelife on TMF)

All I am saying is that music, no matter where it comes from, is created after a situation exists not before, just listen to some Tupac.
