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.

The junk filter is a learning filter. As you add more files of the same nature/characteristics, (eg: files of 765 KB in size) then the filter gradually learns to filter those out. Certainly the common harmless spam like the autogenerated spam results, & also autogenerated mp3 spam results are very easy to filter out. It only took me 2 searches to totally eradicate those from search results by searching for terms that would deliberately promote those type of results. However virii files are much more difficult to filter out. It takes much much longer. Other virii sizes to filter out are 399 KB, 851 KB, 60.5 KB. You may want to check your filtered results however to make sure you don't filter out the wrong items by mistake. I guess it also depends upon the intensity of the filter you set it to under Tools>Options>Filters>Junk

all this info is interesting but one question...
why the hell are people storing virus files on their pc's
takes some sick people that want to infect everyone.
as for filtering, i filtered out the file size 851.7KB but it still comes through when searching! and i tried different variations on the filter 851.75KB 851.7 KB etc but it still appears! why is this?

Normal users do not store viruses on their computers those are generated by the fake hosts beware of them. and filters cant block by file sizes.

Allot of the people that are sharing the virus do not know they even have it. They are just naive to what they are doing. Just look through this forum people come here all of the time saying LimeWire wont shut down whats wrong.

Or they come here saying why are there so many files 851.7kb in size. I downloaded it and opened it but it didn't work. These people do not even realize that once they have opened it they have infected themselves and are sharing literally 100s of these files on the net since this Virus replicates itself.

Generally it probably on takes a few days for these people to realize they have a virus but in that few days they can have virtually thousands of copies of this file. Now I am not sure but I think this file has the ability to read the names of files and rename itself when it recreates itself.

Well I think you can figure out the rest of it and but just in case you cant if a person downloads 1 = 1000s of files shared that is basically the reason there are so many of them.

And by the way if I was a person that wanted to destroy a P2P net I think that this might be a good way to start down that path. Hell I have to do is release 1 file into the wild and watch it grow.

ok now i'm confused!!!!
Sphinx you said (Quote) filters cant block by file sizes.

but below Lord of the Rings says
(Quote) Other virii sizes to filter out are 399 KB, 851 KB, 60.5 KB.

so what does the filter block 'words' 'names'? or can it block file sizes?
if it's just names then how can you block something for eg. song title! if that's what your looking for??

From what I understand the new smart filter uses name and file size association to learn thus the reason for training over time it will associate a file of a certain size as a virus. It will also determine that a certain name is a virus. But if you mark a file that is marked as junk due to name association but not size it will learn over time that a file by that name is not necessarily junk but a file of a certain size and name is.

Default Junk Filter again

I'm sorry, but I still can't filter out the mp3 spam (134.4 kb ), ie after marking them, at research they displayed with trash can and junk 100 %, despite the "Don't Display Junk" and Strict sensitivity option settings.
I attached a console debug output about ..spam.* in hope that somebody can help me.

Same problem here as hopalong's. I often look for obscure music that will only come up once in a while. I get the flagged (trashcan) results constantly. There have been several updates since this filter's 'do not display junk' option was added, and it still won't hide the junk files. Doesn't make any sense.

i'm having the same problem as above, i know that the whole filter learning proccess takes time, but just a pain...as it puts other files as junk (which is not), so you spend alot of time unmarking as junk...so if the filter did work i.e. not show junk...then alot of files we are searching for would not appear! as it would block them...does this make sense?

Yes it makes sense that is why there is the show junk in place and show junk at bottom option. Because until you get it trained you need to watch it.
