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. |

 Is anybody reading it? I've already (at some other thread sometime...) posted a similar proposition: is it possible to make the "Numeber of Views" available for announcements too? I'd sure like to know how many people read the rules (I bet the number would be ridiculously low...) but it seems this option is not enabled for announcements, or at least for the announcement ursula posted: the Rules.

| You would have to ask Ursula to actually post the anouncement as a post only then it would get counted. But I agree, one wanders if it gets read at all seeing a lot of newbie posts..... Perhaps it is just as with the licence agreements you have to agree with before installing a programme... Last edited by RaaF; July 28th, 2004 at 04:17 PM. |

| Making the rules page a default listing before anything is posted/new thread created 'might' increase the no. slightly. But then, this xtra page might seem a pain for some of us (although you could limit it to those who aren't full members.) But then, with careful programming, a prerequisite of doing a search for a topic before posting a new thread might also have some legitimacy in the same regard. Your thoughts?

| I personal like to keep things simple, I don't think posting barriers on the forum would do a lot of good . I see more in bringing up a barrier in Limewire before you go to the forum. After all it's a part of the Limewire newbies that are the problem. But then again I think it's mainly a attitude problem. "I have a problem, there's the forum, and there's the post message button" Funny that you two bring up this subject, You both have been verry helpfull so far. But as you have noticed you can keep answering the same question every day for ever and ever. And that can bring some desperation at some point. Thats why I stopped answering those same questions . That in itself could be a solution as well.. |

| Well, I just mentioned this mostly out of curiosity you know. I just thought it would be funny to see the numbers which, I'm sure would range from 10 to 50... You know, nobody pays attention to rules anymore: it's become like the license agreements and/privacy policies that nobody ever reads anymore. What I think would be good too is to separate the stickies and announcements from normal posts by putting them in an entirely different box, above the normal threads. I've trouble noticing when a new sticky/announcement (not that there's a new one every day or anything...)when a new one is posted. This is just a detail of course.

| The rules count concept sounds good. It'd be very interesting to see the results. And even a 'count' for each time a new member had visited that page to be listed on that particular member's record. If we only answered questions that hadn't been answered before, that would probably mean only about 5% (or less) of threads would get answered. We could all go away & have a holiday.

| Sounds great fun, if only I had a horse with wings to get me there. Looks like my holiday already past by. I guess I'll have to wait for the next one. How do you get murasame's suggestions to be taken up. Or should I ask, who mediates these ideas? Last edited by Lord of the Rings; July 30th, 2004 at 01:39 AM. |
