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. |

 OnLuck Icon So whats with the OnLuck Casino icon that neatly installed itself when I ran the 1.57 update? I know Xolox needs revenue to fund development but you've been very upfront about savenow and other packages why not give us the option to load this along with other software?  |

 xolox 1.57 To Team (better: Gang) XoLoX: You bloody liars, you despicable crooks. I hope you get bolder and more brazen as time goes by so that all of you guys eventually end up in jail where you can't use any of the money your unethical ways of 'doing business' have earned you. Show this letter to you corporate lawyer, perhaps he can put some common sense and a tiny bit of decency into your bird brains. You also should keep in mind that the Netherlands' 'liberal' laws don't protect you from liability and prosecution elsewhere. Below is my letter to CNET's User Opinions, read it! ----- Jan. 29, 2004 Today I downloaded and installed the 'XoloX 1.57' P2P file sharing program. The software's vendor: Fun - XoloX automatically detects your computer settings and connects for fast, hassle-free installation. Safe - automatically scans downloaded files for viruses, allows users to preview files before downloading and performs smarter searches by blocking bad and malicious files. !!!!! Spyware-Free - XoloX does not trick its users into installing anything they don't want. Any additional software is purely optional !!!!! And tons more... See Features. Yeah, right; tons more, what a joke, what a bunch of lies... By installing this program one also gets this bloody bundle of spyware (and who knows what else) without being made aware of it or being given a choice to not to install this/their rotten stuff. If you did install XoLoX, run (the hopefully updated) Bazooka and Spybot Search & Destroy (Ad-aware did not find any of the entries - updated as of today). Having WinPatrol installed to prevent the browser object from being installed wouldn't do any harm either. Found the following in my system after the install of XoLoX: My Search Bar, My Search Bar.B, no less than 27 'MyWay.MyBar/MyWay' registry entries, an 'Onluck Casino' shortcut on the Desktop, and a browser helper object 'My Way Speedbar for IE & Netscape' (if I wouldn't have had WinPatrol installed). The install program tells you (using the 'Show Details' button) that it installs 17 items. When uninstalling, XoLoX shows that only 7 of them as taken out, what a bloody mess. I also ran a Windows search for files and folders and found the folder 'MyWay' (242KB) that XoLoX installed in C:\Program Files. Had to delete it, the XoLox folder and its sub folders, and the Onluck Casino shortcut manually. Now run Bazooka and Spybot again, just to make sure... By the way, I checked for spyware just minutes before installing this crooked piece of crap and had absolutely nothing of that sort in my PC. My advice: DO NOT INSTALL XoLoX 1.57! (Not unless you are prepared to get rid of all the spyware junk it installs BEFORE using the program and BEFORE it tries to go on line and spreads your address all over the Net.) Questions: Why does CNET (for example) accept trash programs like XoLoX that are submitted by unethical software developers and/or their marketers? What's the use downloading something from a 'respectable' site if this site introduces programs like XoLoX? What if a dummy like me goes directly to the vendor's site instead of first reading a download site's whole spread including the user opinions part, a newbie, or an otherwise somewhat technically challenged person downloads and uses this program??? Check out the software's site and see what they say CNET's opinion is, you'll be surprised. CNET's 'Editor's note' is a commendable feature but I suggest that you put an additional red spyware warning label directly into the 'Download Now' section, right below the 'Free"... Or better still, remove this program and programs like it from your downloads section! Peter E. ----- Ps.: Found 6 e-mail addresses on the XoLoX site, mailed this letter to all of them. All (but one) did not accept my mail and had the same message: <bugs@xolox.nl> 213.133.33.154 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 552 Message would exceed quota for <bugs@xolox.nl> Giving up on 213.133.33.154. The one and only exeption was an autoreply: Hello, Thanks for emailing XoloX Support. At XoloX we pride ourselves in a simple and painless client, but none-the-less if you need help please check out our forums and FAQ. FAQ: www.xolox.nl/client/faq.html Forum: www.xolox.nl/forum/ If you still need help after browsing the FAQ and forum, feel free to email us at help@xolox.nl and we'll try to answer your question in a timely manner. Thanks, Team XoloX ----- As expected, the link to help@xolox.nl does not work... |
