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 Repeat Search Bug Returns

Also, it looks like the old problem we had a few versions ago where the search progress bar in the search tab wouldn't "restart" when one clicks "Repeat Search". This is probably do to the changes that were made with search.

Default LimeWire banning LimeWire?

I just saw my LimeWire 3.9.5 beta ban a LimeWire 3.8.9 Pro user saying "Banned Greedy Servent" when all they did was request about 10 or so small text files from me, most likely by shift clicking an entire range of files in their search results. Isn't that a little harsh or is what LimeWire 3.8.9 doing when a user shift clicks their entire search results bad behavior that is going to change soon? Also, how long does it take for the ban to go away?

Re: Icon not changing during 'kill download'
Fixed in development, will be in 3.9.6.

Re: Repeat search doesn't work
Assuming that this problem is because a filter was selected, it's fixed for the next version.

Re: Banned Greedy Servent
I had thought the banned stuff would only kick in if the person was trying to download the same file over and over... but maybe not. We'll take a closer look.

No filter is chosen during "repeat search" (the original search was for "any type", search term = "blah blah .avi", no results found the first time).

I can confirm the greedy message (quite a useful message, btw). A client was trying to download a series of pictures, probably found by browsing me. I've set to only allow one slot per upload.

I also find if I try to download a series of texts or pics the first will dl fine, but the others will show "need more sources." If I wait till the 1st pic finished, I can then resume the second. If I resume multiple pics from that host, only one will resume.

Client side queuing needed? If a host only allows one slot, it would be good to queue up the requests on my side as others have asked before.

btw--any answer to the good question about the duration of the ban?

Ohhhh the search progress bars. Didn't think of that. Will be fixed before release, but probably not for the next version.

The ban time isn't a specific length of time, but rather is based on the amount of requests from the host. We allow any request in the first 30 seconds we see that host, and then from then on we allow 1 request per 5 seconds. If they exceed that limit and continue to hammer, the amount of time they have to wait just grows and grows.

(And yes, client side queueing is needed, but will not be in 4.0.)

Thanks for the quick reply--that's a pretty slick "greedy" formula!

a few quick notes--

Hmmm--repeat seach on a browsed host and on the 'what's new' results does return results, even if the progress bar's colour doesn't change. Still, the best way I've been able to find more sources for one file hosted by a RAZA vendor is to type in another identical keyword search.

Good to see the spinning lime is transparent again (Roger?--I haven't had time recently to browse the mailing lists)

'Type' .smi files (Self-Mounting Image) show under 'Video' filters--they should show under 'Programs'

Reduced font size is much appreciated on the OSX default theme--please apply to the stats too. Jens-Uwe has included it in the jums for a while.

btw--I just tried a fresh install of the 3.9.5 beta on a reformatted Panther disk, so not even the former gnutella.net file was present to start connecting. Everything worked very well (I wondered if I'd see connections problems). After 2 hours as a leaf I disconnected and reconnected as an UP.

Type .smi: the extension .smi is also used for SMIL files which is an Audio/Video description language (like XML). Check out this link for more info: QuickTime and SMIL

Thanks for the link Roger--I'd never heard of .smil files.
If I read the specs correctly, .smi is mostly for ads. A quick search on LW showed mostly OS 9 programs, so perhaps .smi would be better listed as a program rather than video?

. . . might also be worth looking to see if .img files are mostly pics or archives.

I wouldn't say it's mostly for ads but you're right that 99% of the .smi files are self extracting images and not SMIL files...
