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 New To Forums, not to the Net, BUT... I have many questions !

Hello one and all,

I am not new to the Net or to assisting people with their situations although, I am rather out of practice. I have been a Sysop, Co-Sysop for the IRC many years ago before the Web. Later, before and after the Web was created I Hosted, Moderated Forums, assisted with other more technical issues on a one on one basis. Today, I am more of a User that is still helping others when I can but some but much of the technology is leaving me in the dust.

I belong to both forums (Gnutella and LimeWire) and I should have been posting sometime ago. I still am a bit puzzled as to where I am to Place and Post my machine's introduction so I guess it will be below this post or in this post.

Yes, I am having issues that make little sense to me with the broadband fluctuation(s) and yet the <www.speedcheck.net> reports that I am doing okay but that might not be fast enough. LimeWire (LW) acts up often. It disconnects. It looses information. The bandwidth seems to stop for periods of time and then start again sometimes or I quit it and start over again.

I love the ThunderBird and the FireFox and I still use the Safari at times.

Is there a different bandwidth between AT&T Yahoo and DslExtreme? I am planning to go with the latter as AT&T has been the most difficult company I am ever deal with as an ISP and with the regular landline phone connection.

Does anyone have positive information about PhonePower, a VoIP? at <http://www.phonepower.com/>

Both of the companies above use AT&T as their DSL connection but as far as the customer goes, we no longer have to deal with their contracts and services which are pricey. I am not advertising but stating a fact. I require a system, the ISP and the Phone up and running without daily or weekly problems.

My Machine Profile follows in my next post. OH Great! AT&T is offline again!

Thanks you in advance,

Thomaswolfus

Default Appending last Thread of Thomaswolfus'

Hello to one and all,

My Machine's information is below:

Machine Name: Mac mini
Machine Model: PowerMac10,1

Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB

Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.9f4

1. OS version? Mac OS X, Version 10.4.10., Build 8R218

2. Firewalls? "Gnutella/Limewire (6346)" but removing it seems fine also. Now on.

3. How much ram? 512MB I can't go higher without disassembling it.

4. Hard Disk space available? 50 Gigs

5. Connection type? Broadband

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Siemens, SpeedStream 4100 through AT&T

10. ...go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/... Your test worked!!

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Just this computer and I use LW

12. I am an experienced user and have been a LW Pro Member for some Upgrades.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Sometimes, but not usually. The firewall is now on but I will probably turn it off again.
