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.

NOBODY said that it is good that ONE client block an other...

but if one client starts seperating, I think its FAIR that other can do the same!!!

As I said I don´t agree that we block a client but when Vinnie is more and more seperating he don´t need to wonder that other go the same way!

Of course he can make money...

even if I think its bad to do it with spyware but he CAN make money!!!

But it is GOOD to seperate and try to make more money with it???

If this is OK... where is your problem that other users don´t want to be a part of this Gnutella/bearshare.net only a part of Gnutella?

I think this is a free choice and FULLY legal!!!

So where is the problem?

Let Vinnie make his bucks let him create his own network...

but let others do the same!!!

There is no hypocrisy, you try to create one because you read only what you like, not what the people explain to you. Okay, I got it: You see people are right here, but you have no arguments to prove your point, so you flood. cheap trick!

Well, not everyone agrees with your political stance on the subject. And for you to try to diminish the quality of service for these people is an abuse of the gnutella network.

So what is acceptable? Blocking programs and demanding that they leave the network which is an open network even though no other developer has a problem with them on gnutella..

In any case i dont think its a good reason because you do not contribute resources to the benifit of a single vendor if you do not use that program. The resources arguement doesnt hold because its P2P. You have just as much access to "resources" as other people do well it used to be that way until some people decided to block others.

There is still no good reason why blocking servents on gnutella is a good idea much less accomplish anything.

In the end it seems people here want to spilt apart the network just to please there own selfish needs. But in the end none of their ideals help gnutella or is fair to other users in fact they are doing everything that they are complaining about. Spiltting the network apart, unfair practices like blocking and not respecting the network as an open network by saying that selective programs should be kicked off gnutella..

Mrgone, guess what? IT'S DONE! Blocking is here, people have a choice and you can't stop it!
Hahahahahahahaha!

>What's the matter, can you not provide evidence supporting your conspiracy theory?
Grabbing at straws and trolling to support your position won't work! It's over, it's done, get over it! You lost $$, oh well, bad investment.

>So your intention is to force people to use a different client. You're trying to impose restrictions on an individual's freedom to choose what software they wish to use.
>And for you to try to diminish the quality of service for these people
Twisting words like a attorney won't work either! We are forcing the greedy spamware client to leave the network! It's easy for people to find a free client!
Why should we be forced to provide computer network resources to corporations?
Now we have a choice!

Are you saying people are too stupid to figure out corporations are sucking off their resources? Are you saying they are too stupid to choose not to give their resources? Are you saying they are too stupid that they can't find a free client?
See, I can do that too.

>So stop hiding under "Unregistered" and post under a registered name.
But that's my real name!

>Morg, is this an indication that you don't want me posting here anymore?
Can you limit your posts to something like two a day please? Troll bait!

>Please tell us why it is okay for one client to block people from the network and bad for a different client to do it.
Already answered over and over. We know your point of view, we know, we know, and you are RIGHT! in your own demented mind that is. So stop asking the same questions and think up something new because you are getting booooooring.

>There is nothing wrong with someone making a living.
Not when that someone uses my network resources to do it! Let him pay for his own network and deveop his own client base.

>If that were the case then there would be no bearshare connections for you to block.
If there were no connections to block, people wouldn't block it, so there must be something to block and a reson to block it, so they block it because they now have a way and choice to do it. Been there, answered that. If we repete the answers fourty times will that be enough?
Please click on each of these links and read all the posts in each one and then it may sink in.

Sephiroth >you do not contribute resources to the benifit of a single vendor if you do not use that program
Not true because that client connects to ME! It can go off to it's own paid for name brand network. As the official BearShare representitive here we know your position and what motivates you.
So as a official BS representitive can you tell us when this BS network that is talked about all over the BS home page will be working?
