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.

Well, this is depressing. I too have this "issue" I launch, then it just scrolls through some numbers and never does anything else. I type in the search field, but the search button is always shaded.... it sucks!!!

Default search & download

I am having hookup and search problems - I have a Mac with OS 9.0.4 on Earthlink DSL. I have a brand new version of Gnutella. I tried to find a tune I had seen my brother download the same day - could not find it. I did get one tune downloaded but even when I tried to search for something real common like the B**tles I got NO RESULTS. On others when I did find a tune or artist I couldn't download it. I keep getting a message at the top that says LimeWire:Running the Gnutella Network(Disconnected/No Files Available) I left the machine on all night and got nothing.

Is this a place where I can get help? I've been searching the FAQ's for 2 hours and am getting frustrated.

For help with LimeWire, you should post under the LimeWire thread. Go to "Current Gnutella Client Forums" and there you will find the forum for LimeWire. It seems to be the busiest, with the most help anyway.

you guys freakin suck. you don't answer the person's first question but make fun of someone else for asking a question. granted, this isn't the limewire forum, its the mactella forum. you were right to redirect them, but the FIRST person asked a question about mactella. did you answer that question ever? no, you only talked to about limewire. WHAT THE HECK???? that is sooo annoying. what is the answer to the first question????? 4 people experience the same problem, one person talks about limewire. you answer the limewire person's problem, when they aren't even sposed to be here, but not the mactella PEOPLE (note that is plural) problem, when they are in the right space and time. what asses. no wonder no one likes computer people, you don't answer people's questions, you hide your knowledge. jerks. can you swear in here? i would have used swears more.

Yes, I responded to smithkid as I did not have an answer for the first four posts. (Guess I should have said that). Smithkid asked if this was where he/she could get help - for LIMEWIRE. I answered his/her question. There are many people in that forum who can help since it is more widely used.

The Mactella forum doesn't seem to get much help, which is why I'm not using it anymore. I can't get it to work anymore - keeps quitting - but I check back now and then to see if something relevant has been posted. If I see something along the way that I might be able to answer (in any way) I will try.

If I came across as making fun of anyone, it certainly was not intended. I put a smilie there just so that it would come across as a friendly gesture of help as it was meant.

Hope this clarifies things.

Wow - I'm just back from a 10 day vacation and some nice person sent me an email referring me to this site. Sorry for asking Mactella folks a question about Limewire - I must have been delerious (again). It's a shame that someone got so upset about the questions & answers. How can anybody get worked up at someone named phlox sniffer?

Same problem here for both me and my daughter (two separate computers - two separate Mactella clients). We were able to DL songs, etc. until the middle of May. Since then, neither of us has been able to connect. It simply scrolls through endless numbers until it freezes. Then we have to force quit in order to get out of it.
