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.

I am a KID??? I am not 16... - I am 30!

And yes I am no developer - but if I don´t understand something I ask other developers "how" all works and "what" is possible!

SO I think I can build my opinion - I tested almost all clients and I speak daily with at least two developers...

Do you really think you are the only man in this forum here who understands how GNUTELLA works?

And "shut up" and Morgwen its a girls name are very good arguements!

Let me say it in your words - shut up!

And what has Mr. Anti-Bearshare done exept for complaining too ?
I'm now in the Clean LimeWire project .
Thus I'm actually contibuting something .

I've had allot of PM's and mails from people that couldn't get LimeWire to install because the official installer crashed .
So I've started to write my own installers for LW and I've had nothing but positive E-mail yet .

BTW : If any of the LW crew read this flame-war :
Have you ever considered using a installer not dependant on "Windows Installer" ?
Allot of people have problems with Windows Installer and InstallShield .

You forgot to put the 'rolleyes' syntax after you're witty remarks there. I guess its just the old age.

I havnt complained about the spyware, installer, or limewire connections (what was happening with v1.9-2.0). As you can see those people that have complained I have explained what was going on to them (as you and others). About the installer, just zip LimeWire using the exact path and tell them to make sure to have java installed. If they cant do that. They should run the basic version and help pay for the development.

Alright guys, this thread has gotten a bit unproductive. I'm tempted to close it, but I'm hoping that we might be able to reach some resolution on this.

All I can say is that it's definitely difficult for everyone to see eye to eye on everything -- lord knows I have problems with this myself quite frequently. The three primary contributors to this thread are also three of the most energetic and almost always beneficial contributors on this forum. So, I guess I just ask that everyone use their knowledge in a productive way. When conflicts come up, it would be good if we could try to be a bit more cooperative.

I have to admit that I have gotten frusrated with VTOLFreak's posts on various occasions (no offense, man, but it's the truth!), but I have to agree with Morgwen's point that it's healthy to have a little disagreement. Also, you (VTOLFreak) clearly have considerable knowledge, particularly for 15 year old. Morgwen and anti-bearshare are two of the most consistently helpful people on this forum. And, come on, anti-bearshare runs Free-BSD -- you gotta like that.

At the same time, we would definitely appreciate it if users would treat us with respect. That doesn't go just for us, though -- I feel strongly that everyone on the forum should be treated with respect -- particularly when we disagree.

So, anyway, sorry this is getting a little long and turning into some strange rant/philosophical meandering. Let's just get this thing (Gnutella) rolling like it should be and show a little respect for each other's efforts.

Plus, it just hurts me to see you guys fight. It makes me feel like I'm a failure as a moderator or something, you know? Does nobody think about me around here? Just kidding.

Closing the thread sounds good to me. I just find it very irratable when such people spout about things they know nothing about. I'm in the computer field and I meet people like this all the time (Microsft talk, errr....insanity). Most of the time I do nothing, but there are times where they cross the line or I find the urge to correct their ignorance. I also find myself not boasting about my knowledge like so many generic geeks do or try to do. I feel like the wiser, listens then speaks. As I've said before voices with ignorance must not be heard. Thats how ignorance spreads. But we do learn from our mistakes and hopefully we will correct them. Thank you.

Anti-bearshare!

If you are so wise, and want to ignore the ignorant... why don´t you stop to insult them? This is an open forum here not only for developers or computer freaks!

@ afisk

Please close this thread!
