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. Donīt 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. |

 Sepiroth! What Moak says is simple... Less freeloading = more files... more files = higher availbility of the files higher avaibility of the file = higher chance for a download Its very simple! Its no myth - its logic! Morgwen  |

| Sepiroth, what should I do? Not collecting information about existing statistics projects, not analyze the gnutella protocoll, not helping other people working on statistics project... instead belive in the Bearshare hype and Bearshare will be the big glory? You Bearshare maniacs are really becoming anoying and wasting my time. Eat some sweet Xmas cookies, Hohoho. |

I only asked a few questions on how your statistics thing is being done. Because like i said i took a stats class and considering the reponse i got im guessing you havent.. So i probably could have helped you out on it. Because if it isnt statistically correct then it wont be any use to people like developers and etc. Ill tell you what you need to be doing to best benifit gnutella. First would be not to say that just because someone doesnt agree with you is a waste of your time. Second would be to stick to the issue and not stoop to insults when you cant defend your position. Morwgen the last part of my post addressed that very thing. I say that most people believe in exactly what you posted but i have yet to see it actually work in any p2p program out today even ones with a ton of anti-freeloading features so i think its a myth. Even if you or moak dont agree with it i still dont think that it was appropiate for moak to post insults like that towards me. |

Perhaps you didnīt post this in the last post... but in many others! And you are talking about insults here? How do you call what happened with me on bearshare.net? I said only my opinion and Vinnie, you and other trolls started to flame on me... I see a difference between ironic statements and insults! And be sure if Moak will start to flame on you, I will do something... I am not Vinnie! But I know that he will never do this! Morgwen |

| Sephir please stop it. When you come back with arguments + a friendly voice + and helping other users, then I will be very glad. But just repeating Vinnie's voice is not interesting, really! If you're interested in my statistics investigations, ask friendly. During holidays I don't expect more replies, but in a first step I tried to contact every existing Gnutella statistics projects, Limewire's host count, Gnucleus network mapping, visualisation projects, crawler etc. |

| Coming back to topic Would it be a good idea to seperate between "encourage sharing" (we had many ideas here) and "forcing sharing" (even if in a very friendly manner)? Would someone like to summarize all mentioned ideas? I thought it could be a good idea to find back to a constructive discussion for everyone... Happy holidays, Moak |

Me stop it, moak your the one dishing out the insults dont try to blame me for what you started. And yet you continue on insulting me. Get this through yer little head. I am not vinnie. I guess its easier for you to just call me a troll and drone for vinnie than it is to respond to my arguement which you have still failed to do. Im not the one starting crap by calling people troll and drones here so im not the one who needs to stop it. You say you want to have constructive discussions and yet you roll out the troll insults whever someone says something you dont agree with. Just because i dont post what you want to hear or you dont understand doesnt mean that its has no worth, and it sure doesnt give you the right to start insulting me. |

| Moaks's list of Anti-freeloading features on Gnutella Here is a list of collected ideas and features, anything missed? A Anti-Freeloading features, allready established in common servants: * Block downloads from web browsers (and web search interfaces) * Remind user to stay online before quiting, when ppl still download B Freeloader-friendly Anti-freeloading approaches: * Chat between clients (community feature) * Specialized horizons (community feature) * Showing a Gnutella Karma or Generosity Indicator * Encourage cooperative beaviour (splash screen, online help, teach sharing etc) C Freeloader-friendly Anti-freeloading approaches + force sharing: * Swarming with tiny minimum bandwith (especially for modem users) * Minimum upload bandwith (as eDonkey/Xolox does, calculated from download) * Minimum upload bandwith with more AI (detecting user/bandwith idle and then share with much higher bandwith) * Prevent zero upload slots (together with minnimum upload bandwith) * Automatically share download folder * Develop/Implement new technical features for better bandwith use (superpeers, hashs etc) D Freeloader-unfriendly Anti-freeloading approaches: * Block anyone sharing less files from connecting/downloading * Mojos or upload/download ratios * Run Gnutella as a background service and share automatically when online. E Unrecommended/Stupid Anti-freeloading approaches (Klingon style): * Block all low bandwith users, share only with cable/DSL/highspeed users * Flood and kick remaining freeloaders with distributed DoS * Let freeloader connect, but don't send/route search results targeted to them (drive them crazy) * A TTL1/TTL2 crawler which hunts freeloaders and automatically launches aggresive countermeasures * Be selfish too and stop sharing files "Make Gnutella a better place, for you and for me" (Michael Jackson, very free interpretation) Last edited by Moak; January 3rd, 2002 at 03:32 PM. |
