I'm certain GMC doesn't in any way allow downloading - sharing, spoken, refeered to or otherwise.

Thats a very good question ...
In general, my moderation policy (backed by Kris) is as follows: Initial offences unless they are really nasty will get a friendly warning - usually I will just post to the thread and remind people, also I will always censor any innapropriate language. Repeat offenders against any of the forum guidelines can expect penalties ranging from a less friendly warning, to a PM, which is more serious, and then after that we are into bans from the forum - I hate to do that so please don't make me! Specific to file sharing and downloads, quoting from our shiny new posting guidelines: Posts should not refer to illegal activities such as drug use, illegal file sharing, pirating of software etc. So as moderator I can't condone a post which says something like "awesome, go to x.y.z.com they have free copies of all Metalica ever!" - that would be immediately deleted, and the perpetrator warned. Something less explicit like "Hey, you know you can get that piece of software for free if you know where to look don't you" will get you a friendly warning. Also, comments along the lines of "I ahem acquired GP5" will probably set of alarm bells. If you just say something like "I just got the new Metalica album" ... well I don't know or care how you got it and I can't object to that. Even if you say "I just downloaded the new Metalica album" I will assume that you bought it from iTunes or somewhere like that unless you give me reason to believe otherwise  The key is in the guideline above - posts should not refer to illegal downloads. Hope that is clear, Regards, Andrew This post has been edited by Andrew Cockburn: Jul 20 2007, 05:12 PM -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

No more sharing - except for your own stuff, right? i don't know what's on your server and I'm guessing here but since it's your server it's your problem. But, any GMC-folders I'm sure should be clean from illeagal stuff. If you have other folders I think you can still share them, but to make sure hand out a separate user/pw for that. All to keep Kris and GCM's back safe. Just a suggestion without knowing what's on your server, ok.
