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.

Perhaps I should explain why I started this poll... ?
No ?
Well, I'm going to anyway..

The Image Caption Competition could be a lot of fun for a lot of people here...
Something else to do while watching your connection fail or that 9.2GB download stall at 99.99% (after 3 weeks, LOL) !!!

The simple truth is that sometimes the 'competition' has been decided by as few as only two people actually voting !
(How else could I have 'won' so many times, heh ? )

Sometimes there have been as many as six or seven voters... Gosh & Wow !


This is ridiculous as the caption entries are open to all members here.
The voting should also be open to all members here.

And, a reminder to all... You CAN submit images to be considered for use in the competition...
and, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE 'CUTE' ANIMAL PICTURES !!!

I have to agree...not because I think its elitist as you have phrased it, but because including all registered members might create more traffic and 'loyalty' to the forum

That... THAT is the whole idea behind this poll, Daddy !!!!!!!!!

And, hey ! It IS elitist by any definition because only a selected elite are permitted the right to vote. And, the majority of the time they abrogate that 'right' by not bothering to participate.

Bit like a 'democracy' where, in fact, only an elite electoral college is actually allowed to determine elections.

Now, where would any sensible population allow that kind of unfair and unjust nonsense to go down , hmmm ?

I care not for the opinions of a few individuals who's qualifications are not known. If the contest is not to be judged by qualified experts then it should be judged by all who choose to participate.

And they who do not vote have no advantage over those who cannot vote. Use it or lose it.

ursula, have you quit cleaning?

Well, I've had my Ultra-Supremo (2nd Grade) Security Pass revoked so I can no longer show up in the dark of night and clean the toilets.
Is that the same thing ?

The corporal who is currently in charge here decided on his own that it would improve the morale of some of the inner elite guard troops. A secret entity, know in the Vatican as 'P2-Sheilas', is the corporal's main source of support, but DON'T tell ANYONE !


It was sorta related to my, and some other's, rather vociferous protests against the imposition and application of the 1st level of GF's version of the Nuremberg Laws.

(It will, maybe, be a minor miracle if this above comment makes it past Herr Censor... But, not to worry... I have copied it and will PM (and if necessary, e-mail) it to you...)

Why would I do that for you, now ?

Cuz, 'they' are decided that you are worthy of 'elevation' ! (If it hasn't happened already !, LOL)
(Trying to imagine how comfortable you'd feel in a black, hey, maybe brown - or Ayers Rock Red, shirt !)
Or, considering the pettiness of the corporal and the Sheilas, it may now never happen !

Masons, anyone ?

So, NO MORE NEED to give a damn about people who are so foolish as to think/believe that Limewire is the only way to do p2p !
I mean, as you will see for yourself, you suggest to people that there are alternatives to the LW trash and they actually become angry with you !
Almost like playing Frank Zappa's Dumb All Over on the White House Lawn, hmmm ! (Actually, playing same in the foyer of the Sydney Opera House would be more applicable to 'my case' !!!)
OK, for you real Zappa fans out there, the 'Lawn' reference WAS deliberate.. Sorry- couldn't resist it, But, believe this... I heard it on first release which was just a bit before that english-bred brat cut down his pa's cherry tree. (Can the editor check these dates, please ?).

Now... Let's get to the meat course here, huh ?

How do you vote ?


LOL

hey, how about a new... well, I think it's new, acronym ?
I mean like 'wtf' and such...

Yes, dear !!!

Now, what's the name of your latest music release that can be purchased for real money ?

I mean, we might as well promote it here, hmmm...

I'm sure that the regular folks here do not realise that you're not just the most popular nasty bartender mod that they depend on for the next erudite personal diatribe !!!
(Admit it, gang, you all love it from him...)

They really should be allowed to benefit from your musical artistry, too !!!

HEY, the above is NOT a pi$$ take... Peerless really is a good musician doing stuff you want...

'good' may seem a mild description to some of you...
In the real music biz 'good' is... well, it's like... er... 'tall', as in big mountains...
