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.

This is really ****ing annoying. Now half of the songs I search for aren't even there. They've just been wiped out with all this shitty spam. Whoever is uploading these files is ruining the network. I also get a load of spam .mov files for when I search for videos. It's extremely annoying and needs to be stopped.

Then I noticed they say "no refunds"...are you kidding me? This is junk! I downloaded 54 songs and everyone that I have played has the stupid bill clinton advertisement. What can we do about this? Bring attention to this organization. This is not what I paid for.

Springs,
It takes a little time and effort to be able to recognise fake files,like.mov and .zip files of certain sizes.avoid results with multiple hosts,i.e. 40 or more,
please look in the forum using the ''Search'' function,type in phrases like 'fake files' ' Spam' etc.. and you will find masses of info on this. you also have a 'junk filter' in LWire which you can set up to block a lot of it.
Look at the stickies on fake files. BTW LWire once mastered is BRILLIANT !

It ****** me off when I search for a music video and the search turns up 10 results, each with exactly the same file size and name. Not only that, by file size I mean like 270Kb. A normal music video in mp4 format could no way be as little as 270Kb. I donno if it's spam or not, but it is some crap that I don't even want to try downloading.
Also annoys me when I put in a perfectly normal search and I get things like "Cute Girl Strips On Web Cam" under every artist which I search. I accidentaly click on it, 750Kb, I have it downloaded in 6 seconds, before I know it internet explorer has opened up 10 times over on a dating website.

One way of not downloading songs with bill clinton's voice, is by avoiding songs of size under 1,000 KB's such as 22.6, 114.1, 136.7 kbs. Every song I found under 1,000 kb's, I marked it as Junk, but that's not enough.

As a feature request add a filter under the audio search options, to exclude any word you want.

I also dont filter so i get more results so i can choose which file i want out of the (large) list it really wont hurt you to not filter if you just use your brain and common sense but sometimes even that isnt enough ive caught myself a few times basically if one file looks alot larger than the rest in the search... its probably not what you want....once you download it. PLAY IT! if it isnt what you wanted DELETE IT! but dont rely on that completely the item may have multiple viro-s or if you open it may completely destroy your computer if you arent smart just be careful when you download
