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 yes

Yes, kazaa has quite a bit of spyware. It comes with cydoor (or whatever the hell its called), which gathers info about you and your searches etc.

However, the main concern of Kazaa is a program it comes shipped with called BDE. BDE allows your CPU resources to be utilized by the company that shipped it (forget what its called). A hacker could easily take advantage of this.

The best defense is to uninstall kazaa, run ad-aware, and then run BDE/B3D killer to get rid of BDE.

Cool

Or to use Kazaalite without this crap...

Apparently some of the users at www.cnet.com have found an even better solution. Continue using the regular version of Kazaa, but download the Kazaa spyware remover, takes all the banner ads and spyware out of the program, and leaves it use-able. I think a poster/reviewer there mentioned they had faster download times too, but don't quote me for sure.

Um, I can't remember exactly the program, it was for Win98 and up, in Utilities though. Good luck.

Ok if you think it easier to donwload Kazaa "and" a remover than kazaalite (this version is also without ads)... one spyware remover is ad-aware but you need also a "dummy" file that kazaa works... - sure this way is easier!

About the speed... sometimes people see ghosts do you believe them? Explain me how should this be possible? You remove only the Spyware and ads in both versions, so you have (almost) equal version... but you changed nothing what has something to do with the speed - I am curious!

Btw cnet doesn´t offer kazaalite perhaps this is why they found a "better" solution?

Morgwen,

I have no idea, I'm a Xolox devotee. I just figure if e-body is gonna carp and moan and about freeware, well then they might as well make it as difficult as possible and try and strip the Kazaa program while they're at it.

When it comes to the MP#'s and such, I'm still so dorky I haven't figured out how to get them coverted so I can put them on a disc, so what does that tell you? I was just sharing what I had read

I am also no fasttrack expert, but the kazzalite version is the regular version without all annoying crap, so there is no need to remove the ads yourself... but of course you can do it if you prefer!

Default Speaking of Kazaa...

I'm not sure if Kazaa Lite is really faster but it does allow songs at a greater quality than 128, which is the cap on Kazaa (so I hear and it seems to be true.)

If you are running the regular version of Kazaa: There is a .dll you can get to replace the Cydoor file (cd_clnt.dll) if you just want to run Kazaa sans spyware. However, you'll need to keep the original version of this file around also or you can't do an uninstall.

I think BDE stuff is bundled as optional software now.

You know, I could swear Cnet used to have Kazaa Lite available for download on their own site at one time. It's not even in their index server anymore now. I wonder what's up with that?

Its obvious, kazaa its not free (you pay with information) and kazza lite is a hacked version... so they had to remove it or they risk being sued. I heared also from other sites which got in trouble - money rules the world!
