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. |

 Gee, you pm'd me for advice & you didn't take it. Exactly how much advice did you take in the thread. Impatience is not a virtue with any software. There's always solutions if you're patient enough to find one or wait till one can be found for you. It's not easy identifying probems from a distance when little is known. I'm certainly personally sorry I couldn't find a solution for you. But as I replied in my pm that I'm no expert & there's certain areas I particularly lack in. If you do decide to trash LW, keep a backup just in case! Somebody yet might come to the rescue. (When you have probs with any app, you should consider all parameters, incl. the suggestion I made in the last note! It's worked for many others.) |

| Your thoughts seem to be greatly distorted with frustration & impatience. You have obviously never had an experience where a particular app has some small 'fitting into its place properly' problem before. I reiterate, a stubborn frustrated mind doesn't help solve a software issue. This version of software has worked extremely well for some people. But there's always those few who have problems with a newer particlular version. I find it difficult to believe you have taken my advice in such a short time. You need to relax a little. Many of us have had those frustrating moments/nights/weeks where we might have possibly thought the same way. Don't necessarily expect the problem to disappear overnight. It's something that must be looked at in detail & considered over & over. Many software probs are like that. (Sometimes it's taken me weeks/mths to solve a softwre issue, despite my prog training & exp) (Plus, U know guesses are version 4.0.5 or other might work perfectly!) I've only been on this forum 6 weeks as a volunteer & am just a happy LW user for 3 yrs. Lw hasn't cheated me which is why I'm happy to give back. I believe they could very easily charge more for its effectiveness & results. But in some people's cases some fine tuning needs to be done to get the app running efficiently. Sometimes there's some system/LW/firewire settings that need to be set for a very specific user that might vary from others. |

| Frustrations Many of the feelings you have and experiences, I had with Morpheus PRO. Soulseek was okay but all music, little apps, or vids. I gave up both for LW Basic and haven't looked back. LW has many many options and advanced features that you can set and some affect the others. If you are unfamiliar with the terminology and settings ask someone you know to come over and physically help you with the settings, if you have XP I'm willing to remote connect and help you--it is an option. When I first got here I needed help with one or two things and people responded instantly with help--unlike Morpheus and Soulseek. Directing your anger at the PEERS trying to help you will get you no help at all and usually a lot of hostility back. I've been a programmer and writer for many years and when I get frustrated or blocked for ideas, I walk a way maybe for a day or two and try to come back and look at it fresh. There are a lot of people that want to help because that is part of what makes P2P work. Some can be a little arrogant but still they are responding to you right?? Try that on the other P2P's. Anyway, if you would like to try one more time you can PM me and I'll be happy to give it a look see and try and get you running. Best Of Luck |
