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.

Unhappy SEARCH help

I can't seem to search videos. if i search audio or programs i get as much or little as i narrow the search to. but when i try videos no matter how many options i fill in or leave blank i get much of the same listings. and these searches generate everything from Teen sex and A Night with Paris to Benchwarmers or The Invincibles. in fact, it appears to generate the same listings no matter what.
everything appears to return to blanks for each new search.i've closed and reopened. even uninstalled and installed the free version and still the same thing. I've used other share proggies so not sure whát i'm doing wrong this time.
please..... help me limit my video searches to what i want.

Here's a good thread for filtering your results:

thank you. while that has helped filter the porn and spam that hasn't changed my search results. i am still getting lots of movies that have nothing to do with the options i put in to search for (stars name or studio or a certain rating let alone a combination). it's as if as soon as i choose DVD movie i've opened the search up again. and those same movies coming up over and over are as if i'm searching the same pool.
that's an excellent link. thanks for replying.

My pleasure!

I don't think you can get much use out of the advanced search options. Try this: after you search for a video, let your cursor hover over a title. A window will pop up with the title and will often contain other information. This additional information is what is needed for advanced searching (I think). You will often see type, height, and width, but you will not usually see the categories that you have mentioned (stars, rating, etc.)

Are you looking for specific movies? If so, just put the movie title in the title box and search. You can also try just searching part of the name (if several words).

If you are looking for movies with certain actors, try typing the actors' name in the title box and search.

Hope this helps

thanks but i don't think you understand. i've been using kazaa, napster, etc for years so i think i understand the basics of options, filters and search boxes. i also understand porn filtering. when i search limewire for audio i get what i search for. same with programs.
BUT, when i search videos it is as if my search is filled with wildcards.
EX: i put in **** for title. Search gets me a list me a list of about a hundred that MIGHT include 1 or 2 of the ****** movie as well as a list that includes ***, ***, ***, ***,
So, i put in ****(title) *****(studio) G(rating)DVD(type)2006(year) SEARCH gets me about the same listing of mixed movies. i can't see how all these movies could possibly fill ALL my search options.
i have noticed that if i do not chose dvd as type option it narrows the selection a bit better.
as i said, it's as if my Video search is full of hidden wildcards and my target is the same source no matter what my search--as if no matter what i put in i'm going to get a listing of the same directory.
thanks for all the help. it's been really frustrating.
