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.

Of course NOT, what do you think why you paid for it?

Limewire and Bearshare PRO are SPYWARE and AD FREE versions... nothing more...

Now your problem... do you mean the T3 thread? You are using Limewire right? Because this is the bearshare forum... I can move it if you want!

You do not buy BearShare to get special features all that happens is you get the ADS taken off so get over it.

I have been downloading and sharing in Bear Share Pro and tried Limewire last night for the first time. My observation is that on Bear Share downloads are faster and there are alot more to choose from for instance George Strait had over a thousand different songs listed and on Limewire only in the 200's? And the time it took to download was much much faster on Bear Share! So use the one that suits you best!

FYI: Vinnie, the maker of Bearshare, has decided to block uploads from Bearshare to Shareaza. Because of this, Shareaza users are now blocking uploads to Bearshare. This effects Bearshare users a lot more than it does Shareaza users since Shareaza users report hardly ever downloading from Bearshare while a large percentage of their uploads are to Bearshare. Vinnie has cut off his Bearshare users from a large pool of files.

If you want to make sure you are finding the most files and have better downloads you should switch to Shareaza. Shareaza has G2 (Gnutella2) which has Global Search, among other advanced features. Bearshare, Limewire, and the rest of the Gnutella 1 clients do not have these advanced features. They only search a small fraction of the overall Gnutella network.

You can also use www.sharelive.com to find verified files with Shareaza. Sharelive is a database of magnet links for verified files on G2. Ever download a file only to find out it's something else? Sharelive fixes that.

Shareaza is also free and it doesn't contain any adware or spyware. www.shareaza.com

Default Shareaza is way better, and comes without the price tag.

Bearshare, plain and simple just doesn't work in our current time. It claims to be number one, when it has features which have already been implemented for over a year in some cases. Bearshare can somewhat be compared to Morpheus, a company that deciets its users by claiming to be the best.

Shareaza has all of the latest features, and will implement the newest technologies to make Gnutella a better place. When I say Gnutella, I mean G2 because G1 is pretty much done for. G2 is G1 reincarnated, but with a bigger ambition and goal set out. G2 will revolutionize the P2P technology. All who don't follow will cease to exist in the Gnutella environment.

Unhappy The SlowMoe trolling compendium

Due to lack of better things to do with his life, SlowMoe spends most of his time in Gnutella forums, advertising Shareaza to users of competing programs. Check out his latest four posts.

They're easy to spot, they all have the red "download Shareaza" icon on them.

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=17784

Some samples:

"I don't want to start any flame wars...I noticed Shareaza had all of the features Limewire did, plus countless other...Shareaza with only one developer outplayed, outsmarted, and outlasted Limewire, Bearshare, Xolox, and the list goes on...Try Shareaza it is the solution to you problems."

---

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=18246

Some more samples:

"Support of the G2 Network will enhance and give XoloX better abilities, and a good edge over other clients. Or will XoloX follow the slow moving clients such as Bearshare, and LimeWire?"

---

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=19848

And yet more samples:

"Limewire is far inferior to Shareaza, which to this day still supports the best of both networks. Shareaza comes with no ADS, or even spyware."

---

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=2

And yet even more samples:

"Bearshare, plain and simple just doesn't work in our current time. It claims to be number one, when it has features which have already been implemented for over a year in some cases...Shareaza has all of the latest features, and will implement the newest technologies to make Gnutella a better place."

Default BearShare sucks! LimeWire sucks! they are both a complete rip-off!

the free version of kazza is way better and kazza has more selections of everything. And half the time none of the things want downloads. And when you do ask for an artist you get like 99 of the same songs! I want my money back! We should report these people for fraud! I bet this isn't even legal-like they said it was!
