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.

Please design the webpage with the generic font families in mind...
"serif", "sans-serif", "cursive", "fantasy", "monospace"

sans-serif which often will result in Arial or Helvetica is in my eyes the way to go...

Later on when the design is finished I don't mind if more special fonts are used. But that makes only sense when they are available on close to 90% of the systems.
This page might help to find out which will be most commonly available and its generic matches:
Code Style: Font code sampler for CSS font-family properties and Web fonts

@king2: That sounds great!

@Gregor: Could you create a short description of the release process?
Is there a way to create special version numbers for weekly builds - i.e. using the date (2007-12-03 - yyyy-mm-dd)?

About the website:
I tested the website with the fonts, and serif seems to look good for me while sans-serif looks a bit too clumsy.

The for family I use is:
font-family: "URW Palladio L", Sylfaen, Verdana, "Lucida Sans", serif

- URW Palladio L 75.15% - comes from GNU/Linux
- Sylfaen 94.08% - Comes from Windows
- Verdana 93.04% - Comes from Apple/MacOS
- Lucida Sans 88.37%
- Lucida Sans Unicode 91.24%
- serif

-> I know that Lucida Sans is a sans-serif font, but it looks and feels right.

URW Palladio L looks best and is avaible on 75% of the systems, the others are good substitutes.

I hope that this improves the fonts quite a bit for all users.

My opinion is you spend way to much time with strange and complex font definitions.
I have really seen many great designed web sites, they are all based on very basic font definitions and I have never seen a single one with such strange font definitions...
But in the end I don't care if the page looks good

There is no way yet to create special version numbers for weekly builds.

@king2: Though we can't do weekly builds at the moment, there's one very important thing you could do for Phex:

Set up a blog and write about the changes.

This is something Phex is seriously lacking: A source of up-to-date information for other people.

For example you could get information about changes from the subversion commit messages.

(links:
- Phex - CIA.vc
- Phex - P2P Gnutella filesharing program - Ohloh )

Also you could write about your experiences with Phex (but be careful not to do any illegal downloads or uploads (and even less write about them)).

What do you think?

Could you give the new design a glance, again?

I redid the transitions in the tab-bar and worked on the texts (i.e.: How to place the links, etc.).

The site isn't an "any user come in" page like LW (I can't beat them in simplicity - their website is great), but a site giving interested users information to get them to stick with Phex, going into a niche, LimeWire doesn't fill: Openness and friendlyness, along with offering people background information on everything stated there.

Phex - take back p2p

What do I still have to change to make it ready for users?
