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.

So ...... is this to be the new home of the Limewire division of the Gnutella forums, or are the Gnutella forums going to get a new server and continue WITH their enormous and useful database?

Will Limewire staff be answering the questions? ..

The official Gnutella forums view on this forum would be welcomed.. Personally, I'm not thrilled to bits and it comes exactly at the time when the latest Beta releases are being viewed with some suspiscion, although I have to say, I have not tried the latest version myself.

I don't know exactly what to make of this sudden change, and hope we will be filled in on the reasoning and thinking on this from both the Moderators of the Gnutella Forums and from Limewire.

Sweet? And which forum has been doing the legwork for Limewire for years and has accumulated a HUGE database of information. The Gnutella Forums. My support remains here, at least until all the facts become clear.

Hi, I'm Kevin (Zootella), an employee of Lime Wire LLC in New York. I see you've found our forums. I'll answer the questions people have brought up. But first, please realize 2 things:
(1) The forums aren't officially up yet. That's why there's like 2 postings in them.
(2) The forums aren't for LimeWire users. The top section, for Users, links back here to the Gnutella forums. We're starting small, and don't want to duplicate effort.

Quote:
just launched the official forum
Yes, it will be the "official" LimeWire forum, in that it will be the forum on limewire.org.

Thanks. A big part of my role at LimeWire is to improve our relationship with the community that grew around the software app.

Quote:

Sometimes, yeah. Hopefully the forums will gain a community that can help too, though. The LimeWire staff is very small compared with a message board.

Quote:
hope we will be filled in on the reasoning and thinking on this
The thinking is this: there's a huge loyal community of people around LimeWire software, and we want to engage them more fully. Up to now, limewire hasn't done community on our Web sites. That's going to change.

Quote:

This is exactly why we've designed our forums to link to The Gnutella Forums for users. The amount of information and help here is huge. We can't duplicate that right away, and aren't even trying.

On the other hand, some narrower communities that have sprung up around LimeWire don't yet have a place online to meet. For instance: LimeWire developers don't have a forum of their own. There's Gnutella development here, and the GDF, but they're not specific to LimeWire. Try to post a LimeWire-specific development question there, and you'll be reminded what's on topic.

So, with the LimeWire Forums, we're starting to engage our community and fill in the missing pieces. I'm signed up for a lot of forums online, and have never felt loyalty to one over another - that's not what any of this is about. I hope the people who made the Gnutella Forums great will sign up for the LimeWire forum and help LimeWire get started.

Kevin, I signed up, but think it rather a waste.

IRC #limewire has been good or fast quick exchanges.

The beta forum really worked well for feedback and troubleshooting/testing new releases, as long as the devs could stand dealing with the terminally illiterate (those of us who really don't know how to use the command line Terminal).

I'd much prefer if you guys would link your development community with us here, with your participation in the beta forum especially. If it is a matter of control--well, most of the LW team have full rights in any of the LW forums.

I really don't see how the new forum serves a need for community involvement, other than forking the community.

And GregB: Does your post mark an hiatus from ******? If so, good to see you are still allowed a voice.

Cheers all
