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. |

 Worth the sacrifice I see a single popup ad whenever I start up Xolox, but you know what, I've become such a fan of Xolox and supporter of our community that a single popup ad isn't going to bother me. There are other programs that do much worse, I've used programs that have so much adware and spyware and cookies that it can take months (next to a quick format of the harddrive) to get rid of it all. Xolox is the first p2p program that I've ever given my full trust in and I know they have my interested in mind. I mean jeez, its just a single pop up and after closing it once I never see it again unless I close and reload the program. If any of you don't like ads than I challenge you to make a p2p program COMPLETELY FREE without a SINGLE means of supporting yourself from the program without using ads, as reliable and useful as Xolox is. Welcome to the real world. Put up or shut up. Xolox rocks  |

 Thumbs Mostly Up I've been keen on Xolox for a long time. I don't mind the banner ad in the top-right, but I do protest loudly that I get popups now with 1.20 / 1.21 -- yes, a separate window. And they build up if you don't shut 'em down. Please listen, ppl at Xolox! Also the quality of the network has degraded significantly over the past 3-6 months. Probably this is because ppl are just not sharing stuff -- I understand it's a Gnutella protocol issue and not Xolox-specific, but maybe if you requested that ppl share more in a more visible way, then they would. Or maybe that's wishful thinking! Overall, I'll give Xolox 1.21 a 7/10. Which is down from the 9/10 I would have given the old version just under a year ago. |

 Dishonesty I understand that linking to advertising keeps Xolox free. However, like others I detest the pop-under windows. They would be far less problematic as tabs within Xolox. This is an annoying trend as even Yahoo has stooped to pop-under windows. I think Xolox should offer a "pro" version for a $20 or $30 registration fee to eliminate the banner ads AND the pop-under windows completely. Worse yet, I believe that Xolox is responsible for or at least participating in the rash of Porn Bombs out there (see my post in the "WARNING (Porn Bombs) *.zip, *.rar, *.asf thread - http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=13920). I wouldn't be surprised if there are actually only 5 files out there and that the Xolox client itself is "translating" the filenames on your own machine to match just about any search you do. This is just out and out dishonest, particularly since it says right on the front page "We make the following promise to you: XoloX contains No spyware, no sneakware, no hijackware. " I would classify these bombs as a virus. Xolox is the best Gnutella client I've yet used. I would hate to forced to look elsewhere for a client if this trend continues.

| Xolox is crap Xolox is crap, banners are everywhere, the buttons are too big can't make them small to increase search/download windows and no search refinements. Actually, is it possible to use 1.12 again? I've got it somewhere on CDR, cracked but can't be bothered to dig it out again... 1.12 was the best! No more Xolox for me anyway... I hate ads, I don't care if I'm a freeloader, Gnucleus lets me be one... greedness in the Xolox team will fail them soon. Not happy with only one banner... |
