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. |

 Hi, arne ! Please, can you explain more about 'spam' and searches being inhibited ? I could further refine my question but I don't wish to in any way 'limit' the scope of your answer !!!  |

| OK. We have a severe problem in Gnutella: The Dynamic Querying protocol stops searches after about 300 results came in, but its designers didn't take spam into account (at least not the massive amount existing today - back then 3 spam answers on a request were normal, today rare queries often generate hundreds, since companies pay people to spam). - GnuFU en - Dynamic Querying Combine that, and rare searches (who would only generate 5 or 6 real hits in the whole network) stop after receiving 300 spam results, but no useful result. So we need an efficient spam filter to make Gnutella run smoothly again. Dynamic Querying is still being used, though, because it provides about 90% bandwidth savings and in theory supports rare searches as well as popular searches.

| Would you like to add it somewhere in the forums where it's useful? I just added it to the Phex FAQ: http://www.phex.org/wiki/index.php/How_Searches_work

To awnser your questions. Total size of shares depends what I have to spread mostly between 1 and 10 GB , mainly Mp3 ( yes those rare titles you cant find with Phex  )Upload is 1mbit pure upload stream Standaard port is been used for Gnutella I act as Ultrapeer to get more results or should I act as leave and have less results ? , define your problem with that. I dont really go into details  of your effort question of what I do else but Phex runs mainly at night where traffic is less in this area so to have a better peformance due night activities  .For the fun I have a open Internet account so that means no ports are blocked and no filtering takes place. @Arne For the fake , spam , etc queries I think there will never be a propper solution for that just like with mails , even a 30 years jail will not stop spammers to continue , a 20 Mb or 30 Mb file can also be spam just like the serveral millions 168 Kb , 178 kb etc files with notorious virus files that are flooding the gnutella network, to stop that is to read them out mark them and ban them but he then no one gets connected ever because unknow people who download them shares them most of the time tough as they dont know what they are sharing , but it aint a centralized network so you will not have succes to do so , lowering queries aint a solution either to stop it. at the end you will have only fake files in your search results at least 50-60% if you aint using Phex filtering sytem to remove them from you actual search results but still they are results  .Maybe you could also add a what those files are and where users should look at , suspicous file , names , etc , your experiance will know that to what files etc, just an idea to. |

| There was a solution to spam: Credence: Thwarting P2P Pollution I tested it and it worked. It wasn't perfect, but quite efficient, and it could have been greatly improved. It let users mark files as spam or non-spam and compared those to the votes of other users, creating a "trust metric", with which the votes of others could automatically be used to rate files. -> a decentral spam detection/marking system. Sadly it got rejected by LimeWire...

| @Ursula: I think you could edit it even more  The "IDEA" part doesn't really need to be in the Answer, and a different finishing sentence (like "But even while heavily spammed, the Gnutella network is damn efficient, and I'm sure we'll get a working spam-blocker, too.") might have been better for an answer. Still: Many thanks!
