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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

Unhappy Problems with search results!

This is the first time i,ve seen this. you know how when you search (say audio) and you select a specific album from the left, then the results show ??/???, why is it doing that from the initial search? I searched for Microsoft under program, and the initial resuls on the Microsoft tab showed 51/298. why?

Try clicking to show all results in the boxes to the left of the search results. Otherwise, it might be your junk filter...have you set it to not display junk? If that's the case then it would explain results disappearing, if your LW has recognised the files as junk. You could try changing your filter options to display junk at the bottom of search results...then do another search for the same thing & see what happens.

If that advice sounds wrong for you, try deleting your preferences folder while LW's closed. See points 2 & 3 below. Deleting the folder will kill all of your settings within tools > options, so you'll have to go back & reset things afterwards

Thanx birdy, that did help me, just one more thing. When searching for tv shows, or any file type, sometimes I seem to get more junk results than good results, but the junk files sizes seem like they are correct like good files(in MB's).
Is it possible that they might not really be junk even if labeled as such?

Yeah, that can happen. You have to train the filter & it takes a while
That's why I think it's a good idea to display junk...just in case some good files slip through the net.
If you think files have been wrongly labelled as junk, you can always download some of the file, preview it & see what it's like. If it turns out to be a good file, label it as 'not junk'. Don't forget to look up the file with Bitzi before download. Music files aren't rated very often & I'm not sure about program files (might be?) but a lot of video gets rated.
How to use Bitzi

You can change how strictly you've set the junk filter too. Have a look through the thread below. It's a bit long but has some good info & tips
Junk Filter
