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.

For instance, I've just located a naughty guy sharing a file named "kiddy porn..." (2MB or so).
I can see this guy's IP address is *4.165.3*.6*
I went to http://www.arin.net/whois/ and saerch for this IP address.
I got an address of a college (both mailing address and an e-mail address) located in East coast of US.
So, from this, I can say that this guy is using a college network to share the file. Most likely, the college will not like to have this kind of activity under their nose. All I need to do is to notify the college the exact IP address which I found (i.e. *4.165.3*.6*), and the content of what this user was sharing. The administrater can do the rest. I don't need to know who this guy was. The college will handle him/her appropriately.

Of course, not every IP addresses are disclosed. Also if the user is using a dial-up system, it'll be harder to locate (although you will still get the provider).

What are you trying to do? Playing Gnutella Nazi, searching for people who share what appears to be child porn?

Do you actually download the files and watch them to verify it is really child porn? If you do, I bet you've seen a lot of it, you pervert!

I''m just tyrying to have some fun.
Who cares if it's really CP or not (you might, I don't).

Just thought this might be an answers to the good people who want some kind of solution to the widespreading distribution of cp (or what SEEMS to be so, lol).

Do I dl and check? I've better things to do. So I guess I'm not a pervert.

Happy sharing.

"Can someone create a 'bot that will roam the gnutella network and replace all child porn with a picture of me in my underwear picking lint out of my navel? "


Now that is a scary thought........

Just for the record, we are sharing legal music illegaly (oops!). Child porn is illegal by definition. Doesn't make us saints, but there's a subtle difference, don't you think?

Or are you actually sharing illegal music? What kind of music is that (no, don't answer, this is just a rhetorical question)?

No, I was politely pointing out that you got things confused. You were supposed to figure that out (Besides I'm not defending anyone's opinion).

File sharers aren't too bothered about the legal accusations made by RIAA and the like for different reasons (mostly because they think record companies are charging way too much for a CD). Some actually believe that the accusations would not hold. Others take this as a form of "sampling". For them, file sharing is still a grey area, legally speaking.

Now, child pornography is an established crime; period.

So there you go, I didn't think I needed to spell it out, but hope you see the point now.

Besides, for many of us, child porn is distasteful anyway.
