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.

limewireuserabuser is flying high
Default please put a size limit output function in limewire...

Limewire gurus, please put some kind of option to limit the size to either above or below certain file sizes to avoid getting millions of 147.5 kb files for, say, ghost recon, or 187.7 kb for some other monster program which is far bigger than the file size shown, obviously they're a virus, and thank god for bitzi, but c'mon, let's get rid of this ****... I think if you limit the search to files greater than 3 megs (when you know you're looking for a file thats greater then 3 megs), you would get fewer results from these idiots seeding these time wasting files. same goes for 100+Mb files, why would I want to check bitzi for a file that shows 87kb, or why would I want to look through hundreds of files just to find one or two..., ok, I can use the size order and put the biggest on top, but the other files seem to clog up the rest of the search and I get left with one, two or no file I want out of many....
is it feasible??? I hope....
thx

Sorry, but, there's no real way to do that in any P2P program because if there was a way, I'm sure it would have been added by now.

Although there would be a possibility of putting an option in the search of a minimum result size... the best thing to do (for now) would click the SIZE column head twice, thus putting all the small files to the bottom of the search results and the largest at the top (going by your opinion would mean "valid" hits being at the top)

^_^ Stay safe in your searches, always use an anti-virus program to scan programs and EXE files before running them on your computer to aviod naughty programs!

True but I have yet to see it and Ive been a long time P2P user. Filters can only filterout keywords. I have yet to see any app filterout by size. There is away to get rid of junk files in your LW settings though. I use this and tweak my settings and it pretty much rids myself of unwanted search results.

limewireuserabuser is totally correct... filtering file size is easy math scripting, just "if, "then" and "else" - seeing as all incoming hits are put through your custom filter anyway it should be easy.

If it's something you feel will greatly aid limewire users you can submit it to the limewire production team - but I can't remember the email for it or the link to it, see the website http://www.limewire.com clicky

The LW softw team have apparently discussed size filters. But the problem is if they introduce it, then spam will simply get bigger. Then instead of it being less than 1,000 KB (1 MB), it will then become as large as any file out there. As it is, spamming of fake files is already here. The Junk filter which is a dynamic learning filter, filters out most common spam anyway. It requires a lot of persistence to learn to cope with viruses however. The junk filter only works when the user applies it. Not on its own.

Well they can put it as a search option
Search results (< X) and (> Y)

That shouldn't be a problem, and it would help aviod small files when searching for files over 100MB

This said, you can still sort the search results accending or decending... so I don't see a problem... nor the use for this request =)

I made a request for it 2 years ago. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ht=size+filter

Yes I totally agree with your point!!! It has been requested many, many times since. But it's up to the LW team & their reasoning.

Not being vigilant and just looking at file size is being lazy :P

Plus... would you REALLY use it? I try to aviod using anything that's going to trim my search hits, just download everything then decide what you don't need xD
