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 Clean Up or Defragment?

Some of you are suggesting that I should "clean up" or "defragment" the hard disk. My download folder is on drive (C:). So please anyone tell me how to do that exactly? Kindly enlighten as you would an 11-year-old. I'm actually 18, but then again that's only a number. I'm really just a girl who eats, sleeps, breathes music & things like this just sends her spiraling into clinical depression. So please help me, tech-gods. Thank you, goodnight.

Start menu -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Computer Management. Select Disk Defragmenter.

* Disk error issue is actually often also caused by your main drive C partition being too full. So would be best to change your download location to a different partition/drive.

Default Clean Up?

"Clean up"? Does that mean I only have to delete a few files from the drive? Or clear out the entire drive? What? Somebody please say something. This feels like Peenemünde all over again. Thank you, goodnight.

Default Clean Up?

Thanksalot for coming to my rescue. However, my download folder is on drive (C:) & you're talking about some trash can... Does my trash really count towards my disk space use on drive (C:)? I usually empty my recycle bin & I'm still getting the same "disk problem" message. This is too much already! Please help some more. Thank you, goodnight.

trash is a relative term I guess...let's just refer to it as files that are no longer needed on your machine...most of us have some, I've even got a few myself, but I'm not pressed for disk space at the moment...what LOTR was indicating is that perhaps your drive is not only full of unnecessary files (which you would let click on and choose delete, then empty your trash can...and yes, until you empty the trash can, they are still considered to be available and are taking up space) but also has become fragmented which means there are available clusters of disc space all over the place as opposed to being in a nice neat block of open space...

soooo...to reiterate what LOTR advised, clean your HDD of unneeded files, then defragment using the tool he gave the location to...

Sounds like your C partition is nearing full or/& highly fragmented. Do you have another available partition or drive you can use? You can change download location in your LW options. Some presently downloading files may still download to C after changing location but you can right-click them in download window & choose save to # partition.
