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. |

 100%? I just can't believe that 100% of the users share their files. Ivan "In the dark we make a brighter light"

 Re: 100%? Quote:
I am not trying to be very pessimistic here but I would suggest that it would be better to work from the idea that maybe 10% of users regularly share nearly all of the files that they have - and let optimism raise the number from there. I present for sharing a certain number of completely unique files which are extremely popular - they have been downloaded in 1,000s - When I do a search for these same files the returns are very small, if any! (Although I did one time have 112 hits on them!) But, there is no way to make any positive changes with any client that involves denying freeloaders - Any law that was strongly introduced would have the effect of damaging the network as a whole. It is something which must simply be accepted as part of normal human behaviour. It must also be accepted that this is an argument which is mostly based on emotion and a feeling of unfairness. Better to just get on with it all and shift some IT, right? Don't fret

| The next step in file sharing? Yes, I share, and I would like to share more. Here's a copy of a post (slighly edited) I did in the Xolox support forum: ----------------------------------------------- Me too, just like Wolf, can only keep on my hard drives a small fraction of what I have to share (programs). What would be useful is a page/site of requests, especially for rare hard to find stuff. That way, people like me, Wolf and others having a lot of stuff to share could go there to see what people are looking for but have trouble finding, and if we have it, we could then put it temporarily on our hard drives. To be useful, the list would have to be maintained somehow. Ideally, the people having put the requests would be able to delete them once they got what they requested, so the "sharers" could delete the stuff from the hard drive. What do you think? Could this be the next step in file sharing? |

| Or the next step in doing time! Yes, I did see your other post. I was going to reply later, but as I am browsing for 'naughties' I see you again here - There are serious legal issues which would need to be considered regarding your proposal. Anything which diminishes the anonymity of responsibility within the Gnutella Network is bad.

| Maybe it would be good to ask who is sharing and if your are behind a firewall or not. If you like to know which files are very popular you can check at www.gnutellameter.com to see which search terms are popular. Also the client Phex displays you a statistic how often other users search for your files. Gregor |
