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.

Default What is the problem?

I ask all of you this then; what is the problem with my posts?

When a user posts that Bearshare sucks, all of you tell them a personal opinion. That is a reply to a problem from one person. Almost all of my posts have been replies to someone else having problems with thier respected clients. So if you guys can give your opinionated answers why can't I?

If your programs are good, then you have nothing to fear with my posts. Let the reader decide, and if you don't like what I write just don't read it. I used all of the clients, which I made responses to. I like all those other users have been lied to. I was told that the client I was running was the best when it wasn't, so who really is spreading propaganda.

I post my stuff on open discussions, why are you guys trying to make my open discussions closed? Calling me a troll and what not, let me tell you this then, "I don't get paid by Shareaza to Advertise".

So what do I get out of Advertising Shareaza? It's simple, I get the feeling and gratification of supporting the truth. I know and believe Shareaza is that good. Most Shareaza users take it upon themselves to spread the word of Shareaza, and you guys can't take that. Shareaza is growing organically, just like how Napster, EDonkey and Kazaa grew (by word of mouth). All the current Gnutella P2P clients are growing in-organically and that'll never work for they don't spread by word of mouth. Only Shareaza has been growing Organically and it is a matter of time before it is up thier with the kings of P2P. Shareaza doesn't need to pay for Advertising on "download.com", Shareaza doesn't need to pay off other sites to mention them, and Shareaza has "Sharelive.com, Peerweb.com, etc... backing them up".

So instead of watching my pro-Shareaza attitude, tell me what is your problem. I reply in a legit manner to other peoples posts just as you do.

Do you guys enjoy ripping people off, because I sure don't. With all the money from PRO versions, you'd think Gnutella would constantly improving. Gnutella has been stagnant for quite sometime, and won't change anytime soon. Think of Gnutella Companies as Oil Companies. They invested so much money on Gnutella, that improvements won't come until the original Gnutella pays off. All that hope was shattered by Mike when he made G2, and all of you nay sayers are jealous. If you hate what I write don't read it, or respond to it. Just that simple.

Your posts are not opinionated answers, they are ads. Not a single one of your posts actually has anything to do with the topic of the thread you're posting in. Your motivation is not to help people fix their problems, but to advertise Shareaza. Why don't you create a 'Shareaza promo' forum and people who want to read your posts just go there. I am sure it will be hugely popular.

What you're doing is plain simply spamming the forums.

It's a matter of annoyance, not fear. If I want to read about Shareaza, I go to the Shareaza forum.

I think they can make their decisions without your help.
Quote:

There are a lot of people who 'used all the clients'. If they all posted like you, this forum would be unusable. If everybody spammed, e-mail would be unusable too.
Quote:

Thanks for spreading the truth. You are a real freedom fighter.
Quote:

Again, what client is the best is something you best leave to the users to decide. I think we all are aware of the existence of Shareaza. I don't think you are in any position to lecture us on what servents are better than others. What exactly are your credentials to make you an expert on this topic?

Have any of your posts been deleted ever? You are a troll. In fact, you're a spammer. Of course you don't get paid. That doesn't make your posts any more appropriate. Does it ever seem strange to you that all the tens of thousands of other happy Shareaza users don't feel compelled to troll in the Gnutella forums?
Quote:

Why don't you spread that 'truth' where it belongs, in the Shareaza forum?
Quote:

Well, it seems you're the only one doing it in the BearShare, Limewire and Xolox forums. Those other Shareaza users must be doing it elsewhere. In fact, I'm using 'raza myself occasionally. But that didn't make me discard netiquette and start spamming around in other forums.
Quote:

I haven't seen any Kazaa ads in these forums lately. Maybe Kazaa users have a different idea of word of mouth than you.
Quote:
Shareaza doesn't need to pay for Advertising on "download.com",
Would you mind quickly verifying whether any other servents represented in this forum pay for advertising on download.com? I didn't find any last time I checked. Who is spreading the lies here?
Quote:
and Shareaza has "Sharelive.com, Peerweb.com, etc... backing them up".
Good for Shareaza. There should really be no need for you to spam these forums, then.

If you had bothered to check the gdf every once in a while, maybe you wouldn't have made the above statement, since you are an advocate ot the truth. I don't know for how long you've been around but I can tell you gnutella now as opposed to gnutella even 6 months ago are worlds apart. Shareaza looks very nice. That's about it. A nice interface doesn't make my files upload/download faster.

This post started as a complaint about the reactions to your posts and - surprise, surprise - turned into a Shareaza ad. I think you have now exhaustively told everyone in these forums that you like Shareaza a lot. Thank you for your contribution. But now it's time to change the subject.
