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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

Unhappy Incorrect File Tags

I looked through the 2 pages listed and didn’t see any mention of this, tried searching but it seems to search entire forum and not frostwire specifically (it could just be me @ 1am).

I have come across an alarming increase in files being listed as x, download the file only to find out it isn’t at all what it was meant to be, this was slightly amusing the first 3 attempts at a specific file, however it now is just tedious especially after waiting a whopping 8hrs to download each file.

Is there a way to warn other users or somehow let users rate the download as to try filter out the nuts incorrectly naming files whether purposefully or not.

This feature would be blissful and no doubt helpful to all using frostwire.

I'm afraid this is all part of the fun of using p2p. Right clicking on a file in the search window will give you the option "Bitzi Look up" which will take you to a web site where the details of the file MIGHT be found, but this depends on feedback from many users, and whilst it would be great if feedback to the site was better, I understand it is not too easy to report to the site, and less easy if you are a Mac user

Previewing certain file types is possible and worth doing. Also if I find a lot of problems with getting a file, I will share a good version with GOOD VERSION or NOT XXXXXX!!! on it which might alert others.

You can always block sharers who share badly named files, but it may just be the one file ... and they haven't got round to checking it.

You can always try to chat with someone , but this does not often work

I hope this helps a little.
