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. Donīt 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. |

The forums which are closed are: General Gnutella network discussion General Gnutella developement Bearshare Xolox The clients forums are up to the developers to decide if they will stay open or not... Its still more than other websites offer, have a look at zeropaid there is no OPEN forum...

| The BS forums prove that flaming still happens even when you require registration. 2 months of proof is enough. So the flaming will not stop because of blocking non registered users. You may lose some important information because of this, such as users that don't want their employer to know that they exposed something bad for Gnutella or things people may want to say because they are a developer and want to save "face". You could for instance, pass any anon posts through a flame test, where it takes the vote of 20 different "registered" users before the post will appear. |

| Sorry, but this unregistered user can't think up any good ideas, you all couldn't have asked first before you closed it so some of us who think beyond the "norm" could come up with something for you. (notice I say ALL, meaning all the mods here) It's simple, you have a link between normal posts that says something like "read unapproved post from anonymous" or "approve post from [first name]" and people can click or not click. When they click two buttons come up at the bottom that says "vote, is this flamebait?" and if enough DIFFERENT people say no then it's posted as a normal post with the ID anonymous. If enough say yes, it's removed completely. Think about the free time you mods will have then! If it needs to be edited then that's another story, but you could have another button for that "needs editing" and it's sent elsewhere if enough people agree. Yes, it's a problem because it's not part of this typical software, and I just gave away the hot new killer feature for forums like this and now someone else will make $$ from my idea as usual. So if you ask nicely maybe some smarty here would be willing to write the php code to do that instead of cutting us crazy out of our minds non conformists off. |

Wonderful. btw, has anyone noticed the minor little fact that those who continuously refer to the poster who is only here to make 1 or 2 posts, and that's it, are actually the 'dudes' who are posting over and over and over every day? Why don't you guys speak only for yourselves and NOT for the imagined posters whom you do not represent? And, ursula has no 'thing' against anyone here....... ursula does have a 'thing' against stupidity, hypocrisy and game-playing. But, that could not possibly be applied to anyone here, right? Hands up from those who disagree! Last, FYI, the Shareaza Forum is also now added to the list of Registered Posters Only. Let's not have anyone getting upset, OK? There is still plenty of room for some of the un-banded peacocks around here to display their feathers!
