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.

And then install a proper operating system and some proper software.

God I get sick of this lame 'oh windows is so vulnerable to viruses' crap. Microsoft don't fix it because they get so much media publicity from it, d*ck. What else could get them on the 6 o'clock news three times a year? That's a multi-million dollar timeslot.
Yeah! One word for ya: mac
I built my own network, ran the wire, mother boards, installed the software on all clients, I had a lifetime's worth of trouble... then I discovered real software, written by real programers for real hardware. Symbiosis! There is a beautiful place out there where computers actually work for us, not against! mac

Default Strange search results

I don't know what it is. But lately when I'm surching for something I got 4 differnt files as a result:
XXX(the real thing)
XXX(awesome!!)
XXX(please share!!)
XXX
They are always very small files (378 KB), clayming to be a mp3 file.

To contain music they are to small. But what is it? I haven't downloaded it and I woun't do that. Still I afraid - could it be something on my computer?

Thanks for all tips

They are porn files. If you go to your options (in LimeWire) you can Filter hosts. Enter the IP addresses for those files and they won't show up anymore.

You need to block this host it's easy and frickin works. Tools, Options, Filters, Hosts the number is *IP address removed* at least until they get another ip address.

Anyway, Limewire rules

Thanks for the info on these files, being new to downloading, like an idiot I got all excited thinking i found the songs i was looking for (clueless), so i downloaded them without looking at the size of the files until it was too late, I know now! Can they hurt my computer or have they possibly, i have tried to delete them from my music folder and it will not let me, how else do i go about deleting them? Thank you

I have downloaded this German Porn Dialer thing before. It is usually hidden as a Crack Program for moajor softwares, Registry cleaners, internet speeding up programs, download accelerators, and other utilities designed to help you get teh better out of your computer.

Please try to avoid downloading these kind of small 2 - 200 kb files with unknown extensions from limewire, kazza or any other P2P or website where you don't know who you are downloading from.

If you really need these small free programs you can always get them for free from downloads.com where each one is tested and is what it says it is.

As for removing it, I only found success in rebooting, hope someone finds a way to rid of this very soon. The problem is it is very hard to track down where this program is on your computer, and I think it installs itself in several places and then replaces any one of it when you delete it.

That might have sounded a lil crap but I aint a techie it was the best discription I could give.

Gee,
If you are downloading stupid free porn, then it's your own fault
when you get a dialer.
