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.

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. |

 Alternate client review, suggestions for LimeWire -- I downloaded a few clients today, and here's what I thought: BearShare= In terms of looks, it sucked next to limewire. Big BearSharers are always bragging about their QoS, it was nice, but the simple LimeWire 4-Star style is better. What I really like about it is the QHD ID thing, and also you can see how many query hits you have on a file. It's nice to know who you're downloading from or uploading to. The "Statistics" page had a little too much info on it for me, others might want that. What really got me is that it automatically shares your entire hard drive. Gnucleus= A lot of people like Gnucleus, so I tried it out for size. It was very claustrophobic, with all the seprate windows for each single function. Through the mess of the windows, I found a couple of features I liked, like the minimize to tray. It's the only working one I've found. I still think it looks (Em. on looks, it really isn't) too complicated for me. Phex= I really like this one. It has the cross-platform look thing, similar to LimeWire, so it looks fine. As with BearShare, it can ID clients (But it doesn't ID ISP's) and lists the query hits. The search within results looked good, but I didn't use it. Like LimeWire, you can view incoming searches. It doesn't block freeloaders, which is a small deterent. ***************************** Phex is the only one still on my computer. I still like LimeWire overall, but I like some of the others features. Suggestions: 1. Client ID (BearShare, Phex) 2. Minimum size (BearShare) 3. Minimum speed (Phex)(Phex uses a different scoring system, but it would work on LimeWire) 4. ISP ID (BearShare) 5. Minimize to tray (Gnucleus) 6. Query hit counts (Bearshare, Phex) If any developers have replies, I would like to hear them, and if any BS, Phex, Gnucleus have replies, that would be good too.

 Dont forget, <b>Phex</b> does auto re-searching, this means that if you walk away from the computer or go to sleep, when you wake up the next day, it will have found other locations to download from and start downloading from them. This feature has allowed me plenty of sleep while my computer is constantly looking for the files to download and then downloading them. My download results have increased from 1 to 2 over night, to 6 to 7. |

| You know, I don't understand this whole deal with Window's users and the tray. I mean come on. Your not saving memory by having them there, so who really cares? So it looks a tad cleaner at the bottom of your screen, big whip. If it were all that easy to put it there, I'm sure the LimeWire developers would have done it already. Obviously they have more important things to worry about. Who need fences when you've got Windows? :-P |

| Client ID? If your talking about what I think you are, would that not require some sort of registration? I mean, maybe there could be a masquerade as option, but I think most limewire users prefer it the way it is. Most, that is.... Not all. Particularly Ex-napster users I would think to be the ones that would want that option, but look where napster is now. |

| Kirby- Thanks for the suggestions. We are working on many of the primarily user interface features that you described, and should have some of them implemented in the not-too-distant future. Over the past several months, the LimeWire team has been spending a lot of time on more research-oriented projects that are just now coming to fruition, and that should make dramatic improvements to the network in the next six months. While I don't want to go into more detail, these changes include making the Gnutella network an advanced searching tool for all types of information, not only file sharing. They also include making vast improvements in bandwidth usage on the network and in the number of searchable files. That said, we still remain strongly committed to the fundamental user issues that you have brought up, and we will continually be adding these types of features moving forward. With regard to the tray issue, it takes about 30 seconds to implement this in a native Windows application. Doing it from Java requires much more sophisticated code. We have it implemented for Windows NT/2000, and I'm working on it for 95/98/ME. Thanks to everyone for the valuable input. |
