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 Well, ok...

How could I resist? You want Phex so much it would be unfair to not do anything anymore. It seems I can´t just quit that easily.

So here´s what´s going on. My developers (praise them) are already discussing concepts to solve the queries issue for good. All in all this will result in a large overhaul of Phex. I will help them as good as I can and watch over the general direction of Phex. And should other clients start blocking Phex, I´ll probably even start coding myself again.

Until that you can still download and use Phex 0.5.2 which is pretty good for now (if you use the workarounds for the bugs).

Bye and thanks,
Konrad


PS: Don´t start bashing Vinnie that badly. I wouldn´t want to start a fight between the gnutella developers. We will find a solution, whatever it takes. And I surely won´t add "bearshare-blocking"-support, just think about the users! We would start something that would lead to concurrent gnutella networks, a situation where we all just loose.

I recall reading in the GDF Vinnie making a discussion for doing just that, or at least something that would require such divisions to take place. I believe he said something about creating a test network for gnutella for experimental clients, but if they do this how do they keep these experimental clients from entering the real network? I would think they would block those clients, he may even want to build in special requirements so that their hosts will work with a start up gnutella client. Anyway that has a stronger potential to create a division in the gnutella network.

Default pointless

I remember the thread.

After thinking about the idea I concluded it is completely pointless. To test the complicated effects within a living gnutella network with tenthousands of hosts an isolated testing network will never grow big enough and to test purely technical issues everyone can build a small testing network easily within a LAN or even on a single machine.

Default Was vinnie the guy that installed spyware on my computer?

I really have a strong urge to beat up spyware people. So if I ever meet em in real life, since the odds that I would are low... I'd prolly jump them. Kinda like how laws used to work in the olden days, if the crime is light, but the possibility of catching the crook is low, then the punishment is big.

Spyware on more than one occasion brought my crappy computer to a stall that I had to reinstall ****ing everything and took me 3 days to do...

Note to people who don't like spyware- Don't buy creative labs products, and don't install any stock market programs on your computer. I'm not sure who was the genious that realized they would be untouchable by law by violating my computers internals, but they need to realize they'res psychopaths like me out there who don't respond well to direct intrusions to their lives.

Anyway, I'm off to poke around with Phex, see if I can implement the "Collection function." Basically if you 2x click a "collection", you get all works of art by a particular artist... Ie Mozart. I don't think Mozart has any copywrights to his works, hey I could be wrong, but you get my point... In my mind, I think whoever institutes the "collection leeching routine" will not only make their product superior to the others, but bring about a new era in file trading.
