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.

I emailed Tiscali last night to ask them why I am suddenly having these problems and if there was any truth in the fact they are blocking P2P files. Of course they have denied this and sounded quite "put out" that I could suggest such a thing of them. They said the problems are down to a technical faults that they are dealing with!!!

My advise is to keep on at them otherwise they will not do anything! Keep emailing and phoning until they fix the problem after all it is their responsibility to put it right. Unfortunately their technical support is rubbish but keep on at them.

I don't understand, Tiscali is supposed to have unlimited bandwidth, and then they limit your use time? That's a load of crap!

Well, they've currently given us 3 months free service for all the crap we've had with them lately, (we've had connection issues since August 2006) so I wouldn't complain, I'd just leave. :/

When the connection works, it downloads fine and speedy.

Hi Andy

I am with tiscalii too and it takes a whole day to download one film if not more. I'm afraid to say that they are usless.

Best bet to get a new supplier that's what I'm going to do. Do you know who works best?

hi one and all, update on Tiscali,u used to be able to use frostwire without problems, but they have sussed that now ! Can't use LWire or FWire until midnight(if you are classed as a heavy user ! ) i.e. download up to 1gig per day,totally illegal what they are doing as they advertise ''Unlimited Downloads '' even heard a radio advert this week for Unlimited downloads.
LWire will stay connected, but gradually lose connects from 9.00am. another problem if u are a heavy user, download speeds throughout the day are MUCH lower for everything,and if you are downloading a couple of different things, Very slow. So you cant even get normal service EVER.
Tech services are useless and just Lie, so the only way forward is to COMPLAIN, yes to Tiscali, but also to CISAS: Communications & Internet Services Adjudication Scheme and to others,maybe, Pipex enters the valley of woe - ZDNet UK and if you want a rant that counts, maybe The Weekly Gripe: gripes rants consumer complaints issues things I hate and annoying stuff CISAS is the official OFTEL ombudsman for all Broadband complaints in the UK, so go on DO IT !!
Every little helps !!

PS This is the first time I've worked out how to put links in a post !! not bad after 18 months!! (Groan) progress not perfection ehh !

Hi Andy,
I am also on tiscali and I have not had any problems at all. At this very second it is 12.13pm and I am downloading 240kb's and I have been all morning. Sorry If that upsets anyone but I thought you should know that not all tiscali connections are restricted (thank you lord).
Tony.
