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. |

 Welcome to the Polar Skulk (Infos & FAQ) Welcome to the Polar Skulk! If you just entered this board, this thread should give you first impressions of the Polar Skulk and provide you with some infos. What is the Polar Skulk? The Polar Skulk is a community of free and legal content gatherers and propagators. We search for high-quality free content and we propagate it in the Gnutella Network. How can I join the Polar Skulk? To join the Polar Skulk, you can simply follow this trail. It will lead you to further information about the Polar Skulk and to the Polar Den, where you can find a pup, which will follow the trails of wisdom from the crossroad of songs to the dens of our skulk elders, so you can listen to the symphony of the Polar Skulk. Who can add files? Every member of the Polar Skulk can become a Skulk Elder and publish files. To become an elder, you need to contact arne_bab, who is moderator in this forum. Every Skulk Elder is only responsible for the files in his/her own den. Those files must fit with the Vision of the Polar Skulk. If a Skulk Elder violates the policy about the allowed files and in that way violates the vision of the Polar Skulk, he/she will lose the status as Skulk Elder and the identity of the Ex-Elder will be published, because any Elder who violates the Vision endangers the whole Skulk. What is this Vision of the Polar Skulk? Files should be legally shareable all over the world, and so we do our part by spreading free files into the Gnutella Network and tracking down the best free content on the net. This way free files will get more and more popularity, and more and more publishers will realize that they have the best chances of being heard, if they release their files free for sharing in free networks. That is why we have a strict policy which governs the files which are being added to the Den of the Polar Skulk. Files must be: - legally shareable - free to use (which means: No DRM, no use restrictions; license: at least cc noncommercial noderivs or one which provides more freedoms, GPL and similar included) - free for minors (no adult material) - free of rascism, hate-propaganda, etc. - clearly labelled, so users recognize them as free files - interesting. Only worthy material should be included in the Den. Remember, that foxes can be quite choosy  Why all these fox analogies? We use the fox metaphors, because the Polar Skulk is based on Phex, and because foxes are quite curious and have a good nose for interesting content. And so your Phex can get you high quality content by curiously following the trails of wisdom laid by Elders of the Skulk. I want to help! Then we welcome you most dearly! As first step, you can follow this trail and find yourself a pup, which will act as your connection into the Polar Skulk. Then you can find interesting _free_ material and talk in this forum about it or create your own trail of the scent of wisdom (how to create that trail) and become a Skulk Elder. What rules are there when talking about files? If you talk about files in this forum, there's one most important rule: No direct links to content. No magnet-links to files. Any propagating of files is only done through the "crossroad of songs". This is necessary to protect the forum, because direct links can't always be followed easily, but magma-lists containing bad content can easily be removed from the crossroad. Second, almost equally important rule: Only talk about files, which adher to the vision: Only free files.
