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.

LW would appear to the unaware to be more popular, just because of the activity in said forum...but us long termers know why that is
errr, LimeWire IS more popular. - If you went to download.com, you would find that LimeWire (if you count the downloads for all plattforms not only windows) had more downloads last week than even Morpheus had (not counting the ~150,000 downloads a week LimeWire gets from macupdate.com).
And btw., the Shareaza forums are way more active than the LimeWire forums ever were.

Yes the Shareaza forums on their homepage not here. We have not many Shareaza users around here because they are visiting their own forum. Limewire´s main forum is based here.

The popularity of a client don´t say anything about the quality! Give Shareaza the money which Limewire has for marketing and we will see who will win the race...

Give Shareaza some decency, to stop calling its network gnutella2, and there'd be a chance, that I'd switch to it.

Till then I won't use, and won't recommend using it, because I think, that it says nothing good about the programmers to do marketing like that.

Its only a name. LW is marketing they are faster than Kazaa... I think this is no reason to ignore the programm.

@ Morgwen, but Shareaza markets them as the Ultimate P2P (www.shareaza.com) All marketing are "relative truth" if you know what I mean. On the mother site of either raza.com or wire.com I see far more marketing on the raza side and it's been that way since raza 1.0 in 2002 summer...

Ciao

I don´t care about the marketing as long they don´t pay it with spyware!

They can claim that they are the best - others do the same!

Not for me. When they choose to ignore ethics, I choose not to use their program, and they lose on the long run.

UHHH!!!

This has NOTHING to do with ethic, perhaps its a bad marketing concept nothing more. I am more concered about the other really not ethical clients which are bundling spyware to pay their marketing!

The good thing in a free world is that we have a choice! But you can be sure they won´t loose, even companies like Bearshare and Limewire don´t loose and they are using all kinds of crapware - the user don´t care about it... and they will sure not care about a "name".
