If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

Default Request removal of "powers", abuse of them
Sorry to have to do this but Ursula is now threatening users for their opinions, and making wild threats against gnutella clients.
Being a representitive of Gnutellaforums this should be of concern to all moderators here.

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=12591

"If this particular unregisterd 'braiser' wishes to carry on his crusade, there are several established clients which are ripe for the 'roasting'."
Threats?

"You are now tracked."
More threats? Should I worry about this anon unknown moderator trying to hack into my computer because they have my IP address and a personal grudge against me?

"Cool it with the negativity. I said 'please' the first time I asked you this....... there will be no repeat of that word."
More threats? So are negative opinions not allowed here anymore? And what besides editing/deleting my posts is next? DOS attacks against my IP?

"I will NOT except unfounded and unproven negative comments which blast away at another client, no matter what or whom that client may be."
Abuse of powers, and editing posts when it's unnecessary because it's against this moderators opinion, or just to show the "power position".

"Why, I am someone who out-ranks you here"
More abuse, show of "power". I didn't know there were "ranks" of users here, and am I on the bottom rank and have to obey this "commander"?

Yea, maybe I am a pain in the **** sometimes, and have strong opinions, and bring up strong controversy but I haven't violated any forum rules.

Even this message could be edited, deleted or modified so abuse of this type of power should be not allowed. Only level headed people should be given moderator powers.

Why was this person given "super moderator" powers when it shows this person has only been around here for a month now? What are the qualifications?

Power corrupts.

"If this particular unregisterd 'braiser' wishes to carry on his crusade,
"braiser" was an attempted humorous reference to the trend for you to not often go into full flame mode --- braiser - small flame -------- geddit?
Quote:
there are several established clients which are ripe for the 'roasting'."
Threats?
read, junior... read. CLIENTS, junior... CLIENTS were stated to be ripe for roasting...... Oh dear, she is still carrying on with the braiser and flame routine by saying roasting.
And, junior, what the 'big-boys' have been doing these last few months are more than worth a good roasting.

Quote:
"You are now tracked."
More threats?
Oh yeah..... quite serious really.... It means I write your IP down on a list with a few others......
Heavy, hmmm?
Quote:
Should I worry about this anon unknown moderator trying to hack into my computer because they have my IP address and a personal grudge against me?
Yes, certainly, of course... I sure would. Absolutely. What was the question?

Quote:
"Cool it with the negativity. I said 'please' the first time I asked you this....... there will be no repeat of that word."
More threats?
Certainly. I never say please more than once to people who don't hear the first time. You seem to be quite happy ignoring the fact that you DID get a please out of me.
Quote:
So are negative opinions not allowed here anymore?
Of course they are allowed here..... this has been covered before. We are not concerned with negative opinions.... We are concerned with negative BEHAVIOUR..... two entirely different things, right?
Quote:

You have left out plague, war, famine and pestilence. What's your favourite?

Quote:

Abuse of powers, and editing posts when it's unnecessary because it's against this moderators opinion, or just to show the "power position".
Sorry, junior but zero points for you on that one. It is entirely due to your remarkable consistency at being always abusive and aggressive. You have a habit which is not productive when it comes to helping people or discussing nearly anything.

Quote:
"Why, I am someone who out-ranks you here"
More abuse, show of "power". I didn't know there were "ranks" of users here, and am I on the bottom rank and have to obey this "commander"?
Junior, you are going to have to start taking humour pills.
Start with the ones that allow you to receive and then later try the ones that might help you send......

Think of me as your very own 'over-night sensation'....... I've been around awhile, junior, awhile. More of those little quick-off-the-mark habits you have..... hmmm?

Quote:
Power corrupts.
Don't it just!
It also usually means having to occasionaly come into contact with unpleasant things.

btw, I still haven't been able to find any wild threats against Gnutella clients. Any hints where they might be? I suppose they must be stashed away with all of the posts of yours which I have deleted and edited into oblivion, hmmmmmm, junior?

Now, wasn't that nice of me to take the time to respond to you and your little problems?

Then please look at yourself too.
You can't cover this up by saying "it was humour" because I didn't think it was funny at all for a representative of this forum to do. And I don't think anyone else saw any humour either.
Quote:

Always? Are you sure?
I help people here all the time, and I don't even have "forum god" status.
I'm not the only one having problems with your moderator "power" status attitude.

Run a poll, junior.
That should satisfy you and settle the issue for at least 2 hours.
