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. |

 I'm little upset! I JUST installed limewire and haven't used it yet. These are my problems: 1 It won't allow me to block ultrapeers from uploading, several are trying to upload but only 3 at a time allowed. I set it to 0 users and 0 bandwidth. I restarted limewire..nothing changes...there are still ultrapeers uploading from me. 2 What ARE they uploading?! When I haven't downloaded anything yet. I'm pissed bc I noticed my desktop available for upload, I quickly removed that. WHY was my desktop set for upload?! I restarted the application but seeing that so many ultrapeers were still trying to upload, and that I couldn't stop them it appeared to me they probably are accessing and uploading something from my desktop! 3 I tried uninstalling limewire. It only uninstalls the desktop shortcut, from the start menu, and possibly the "add remove programs list" if it was there...now its not. BUT it is STILL in my program files, my documents, and registry. It still runs! 4 I'm upset that I can NOT see what ultrapeers are uploading. I should be able to see the files they upload from my computer, as an integrity/security check to make sure the program is safe and running properly. But this is not an option. 5 Same problem removing frostwire. I downloaded limewire and frostwire at the same time..I had NOT used either yet. Frostwire would not allow me to block users from uploading. Again I dont understand what they are uploading. Yes I have an antivirus I pay for, I have windows firewall, and all windows updates. My operating system had been reinstalled recently and not used much. But I'm afraid that ultrapeers were able to access my norton serial key, etc and access cookies/etc to view passwords used on the internet etc..any other personal information that hackers would want. I don't feel like limewire is safe and I dont understand Why I couldn't block uploads and so many things seemed faulty from this program.   |

 1. How do you know they are ultrapeers trying to upload? Ultrapeers are users you connect to in order to connect to the network. Without ultrapeers you will not connect to the gnutella network. That's how it works. LW basic users connect to 3 UP's, Pro uses to 5. Those who are lucky enough to run in UP mode can connect to many more. 2. When you first install LW you are given options for setting which folders to share or not. There is a Remove link beside each location. Perhaps you missed that option. Depending on which version of LW you are using, I presume v.5 since you didn't say; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...s-windows.html (click on link) 3. NEVER use the Add/Remove Control panel to remove LW. The uninstall option is via Start menu -> All Programs -> LimeWire -> Uninstall. (This will not remove preferences folder or downloads folders.) Using the Add/Remove control panel will result in an incomplete uninstallation. 4. Under Tools menu on menu bar, you will see option to see Downloads & Uploads windows. 5. I have no idea why you wish to 'block' people uploading from you. This is a p2p network; p2p = person to person sharing. If nobody was sharing files, there would be no files in your search results. It would be an empty network.  See information in the link I posted about knowing which files are shared & not shared. From Library window, those with Shared (1) beside them are being shared. Those files with no 1 after them, Shared are not being shared. In the p2p Network window, files that are shared have a tick beside them. Those not shared do not have a tick beside them. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/337915-post2.html* Good to see you have Norton AV. Other good tools to have are listed near top of page in point #3 here WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on blue link) |
