Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

| lets say we all do a mass DOS attack on this guy? if he really wants people to download that file, we can oblige. if just a few hundred people constantly request the file, he'll be so maxed out on bandwidth that he won't be able to connect & we won't have to deal with his fake search results!!! (Disclamer: this is posted jokingly, i do not condone internet attacks in any way) |

| Blocking that IP Address Dear Guest, Thanks for the comment about 'block list'. I was not aware that I could do this in LW, since I never had to consider it until now. Seems to block that IP as expected. What did you mean by:   (can't post it here because it'll get deleted) Why would your sharing of your Block list be deleted? I assume you mean deleted by some Admin of this forum. We're Blocking this IP Address: **** Last edited by Morgwen; November 30th, 2004 at 02:09 PM. |

| Re: Blocking that IP Address Whoa... Here's another IP Address doing it too.. 194.213.194.37 This IP appears to belong to a Internet Hosting Company in Europe, Czech Republic. Maybe if a few of us email the contacts, we can stop the abuse. [edit] [edit] This really raises a bigger question... will this abuse get worse? [Post NO infos you got via RIPE etc.! I explained why!!!] Last edited by Morgwen; May 2nd, 2002 at 03:37 AM. |

| The WWW, Usenet, eMail and even IRC, - all popular networks and services have seen the problem of spam. Gnutella does not make an exception here. But since it's only a few hosts, that are spamming the network, and spam is very easy to identify, I don't think spam is a serious problem, yet. |

| Wehey!!! JohnReam, you're a hero! I know that not everyone's happy about posting personal infos, policing, and the rest, and of course I understand. But some of these spams really are doing no good. Not only that they are deceptive but more so they disturb our search results, speed, and credibility immensely. I do hope, with the rest of you, that this board does not turn into a black list of IPs, but when necessity prevails, we know where to come. Thanks again for your action! |

Huh????? It IS commical when those who don't give a d*** about copyright "in private" would suddenly become conscientious about it "in public". And again, like I said before, YOU ARE RIGHT! No question about that. I guess I'm saying, "don't expect enthusiastic support from us when it comes to copyright thingie." Oh just for the record, I have not _yet_ posted any IP addresses or "copyrighted materials" on this board, because I like you. But I do find the posted IP addresses (two of them, currently), and I've taken the liberty to identify their servers, and have sent e-mails of complaint about the spam. Who knows, ISPs just might investigate and take appropriate actions. That's it for now. |

There's no point in violating the law or rule when there's no need. And if you really want to stick to the law until death, no one's stopping you. But if you felt the need to twist the rules, you'll do it anyhow. You are not obliged to notify anyone before you edit, it is, as you say, your prerogative. At the end of the day, you will do what you got to do, we do what WE got to do. And hopefully things won't get too heated. (Why do I get the feeling you don't like me?) |
