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. |

 Ultrapeer and Leaf---Duh, huh? Your client is a leaf node shielded by an Ultrapeer. Hence you will see few or no searches in the monitor window.... ------ Don't understand------can someone put this in clearer words for me? I'm very experienced online -- and a complete novice at sharing like this....I'm in LOVE with it! Which I shouldn't be, as my band and I still wish we could earn our hard-earned money back on our CD's for sale... Having said that-----last night I was enjoying watching the searches rolling in at high speed----now there are none...as I think it over---I haven't changed anything! How did I turn into a Leaf? Or am I not? And how can I see the neat incoming list again? I don't wanna be a leaf if it isn't interesting to watch. What to do, what to do....ah, if only Shakespeare were here to advise me...but perhaps there is a wise moderator? Thank you! Paula  |

| If you are a leaf, your ultrapeers will only send you only those queries that contain keywords matching files you are sharing (that's not always accurate but it saves easily 95% of the traffic between leafs and ultrapeers). Ultrapeers are not shielded that way (or at least they were not shielded when that FAQ was written) so they can see much more queries in their montior window. So, if you want to see what other people are searching for you'd better become an ultrapeer. |

| Life as a leaf The use of the word leaf is intended almost literally. There are many leaves in a forest and fewer trees. When you are new to Gnutella, you will always be designated a leaf and you have to access the wealth of copyright free material through the ultrapeer network. In this more lowly position, you will not be prejudiced, The search system is designed to return the same number of hits regardless whether the searcher is leaf or ultrapeer. However, should you have lots of free bandwidth, and you provide good qualntities of copyright free material on a reliable basis with a high upload success rate, then in time you may be designated an utrapeer and a proportion of your bandwidth will carry the traffic between the other ultrapeers, and leaves will connect to you for access to Gnutella. So I may not be Shakespearean, forsooth, but I have tarried enough on this commission and must exit stage left in search of someone bare. Last edited by David91; May 8th, 2003 at 12:44 PM. |

| Re: Life as a leaf Quote:
You may indeed be not Shakespeare, but methinks you be just FINE (fahn!) on dis list...and I too must fade into the pale moon, since I went not to my chamber last night to sleep, but spent the hours poring over Limewire by candlelight...well, actually, by monitor light. But didn't candles sound better? Adieu, and expect more questions...I've Only Just Begun....<moderators cringing at the prospect> Paula Last edited by Crazy Miz B; May 8th, 2003 at 12:47 PM. |

| Yet more questions? When the night is yet so young? Ah well, it seems I must high me back to the task of answering you after tarrying a moment with the bear. I'm sure you would never want to download copyright protected material because that would be illegal, right? As long as the favourites are, as you say, old and therefore outside the usual period of copyright protection or you are downloading in other circumstances representing an exception to whatever laws you are operating under, life will be trouble free in a public forum such as this. It is good to be amibitious but, if I were you, I would drop into Preferences and tag the leaf option because being an ultrapeer can have unexpected effects on your machine and, if you are inexperienced, it would be better to stay a leaf until you have a better understanding of how your machine works. Fo' sho' dis 'as bin a wicked pleasure. Asta la vista, Paula. Last edited by David91; May 8th, 2003 at 01:47 PM. |

| A Leaf by Any Other Name A leaf I will remain until my betters feel me worthy of the trust of the Ultrapeer Tree thangg. I'm not overly ambitious---just a Macaholic with a new toy...I use my toys heavily! And I always play by the rules of whatever state that tells me what condition my condition is in. Lame reference, but being Shakespearian can slow down typing and heaven knows we don't allow that in THIS house... Thanks for all your help... I'll be bock.....<--what, so now I'm Schwartzenager??? (sp?) That would be more challenging than Shakespear, for pete's sake. Paula (and in the earlier message, you said BARE, not bear...I caught the reference, uh huh, Billy Bob...) |
