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.

I don't get "01. The name BearShare."
What the hell is "CareBears", I'm no US citizen. I like the name and the logo.

I don't get "08. Exploit (vulnerability)". There has been one tiny security bug in the V2.2.2 webserver (the "..\" bug), but it's fixed.
Software never will be 100% bug free, nerver. Could'nt someone cool sing a song about software living in a world of bugs.

I don't get "04. Vincent and Michael's top skill is "graphic design". Bearshare and the logo does look cool and it's easy to use. Okay it should be named Bershare 0.9, because lots of basic things are missing, like hotkeys, tool tips, storing windows size... etc. With a working resume and chat I'll accept 1.x.... with working client/server defneder model I'll accept 2.x. However version maniac is normal in the windows world.

You do forget to list the proprtitary and undocumented QueryHit datastructure which only Bearshare uses. Vinnie says it's top secret. Microsoft isn't a good teacher....

You do forget the stupid client civil war between Limewire and Bearshare and they slow down the further development of the gnutella protocol. Blame both. Swarmcast and others seems to develop an alternative P2P technique.

You do forget to mention memory leaks in bearshare. Or can someone explain why I have to reboot the computer after running Bearshare for hours. I did upgrade to 256MB Ram, actually I still have to reboot after one night of download....

You do forget that hostcaches in Bearshare are hardcoded and therfore can't be changed. Funny when you see that limewire.com is one of them.

You do forget that Free Peers Inc does not build up annother host cache. Bearshare is the most poular and far the most used gnuteall servant... shouldn't they take resposibility and help the community with another host cache. Maybe it's a money problem... how can limewire.com afford to pay the bill for all?

HEY... I'm a Bearshare fan... I could also list the same amount of Bearshare advantages! Yeah and to name only one: I prefer to use bearshare, IMHO it's the best client right now.

Thx Vinnie for that cool and free servant... I honestly hope you find a business solution, without buggy spyware installer or home tabs or something to make the users driving crazy. Shareware? Maybe to dangerous... we all know how fast we get the first crack or serial creater.... sorry I have no answer... but I think Bearshit IS funny, even for a Bearshare fan!

Its an old *** cartoon like 16 or 17 odd years ago. They are bears that live in the sky and magical powers. When something goes wrong they go down on a rainbow and shoot their magical powers out of their stomachs (they all had a different symbol on their stomachs: hearts, stars, moons, and ballons. wait thats ucky Charms :P). The phrase is not all the bad "The Power To Share". But the mascot if you could call it a mascot. Some bear's head smiling with green headphones on? I joke on the logo because if you read the "<a href="http://www.bearshare.com/about.html">About</a>" Free Peers. The first thing Vinnie and Michael brag about (skill wise) is their elite graphic desiging abilities. Michael even went to school for that. Thats how it is worded on the site. I could definitely create a better mascot looking bear for my "awesome" p2p program. It looks like that bear was "designed" in paintbrush in windows.

You're right. But its also fun to pick at. Then again any other client has not had a bug like that found (serious bug).

My point exactly!!! Why not share the information to better benefit the network than not?

Vinnie just needs to take some drugs to calm him down or listen to rap music.

You'll have to give me a little more information on your comment there buddy.

Or lazyiness. LimeWire has investors.

Nevermind that Vinnie drugs are bad for you. They distort your mind. Those were advantages it seems like your were pointing out bad thigns about BearShare. Its probably b/c you're not a US citizen I cant understand your English. (little humor no harm intented)

Hey Mr Anti-Bearshare,

I suggest you delete point 04 "graphic design" (because Bearshare is too cool and easy to use) and point 08 "Exploit vulnerability" (because this little old buggy isn't a big shame for Vinnie). Don't forget to add the missing facts. How about some more various cool bearshit banners.
I think Vinnie can be proud to have that bearshare **** page! When you see how well bearshare runs and how famous it becomes, it is indeed a nice parody (with a little truth inside).

PS: I like the bear logo. Now I remember those shitty CareBears - but it remebers me to an old cartoon where an allways hungry and not very clever bear is seeking for food and a ranger tries to stop him.... kind of "Homer" bear.
PPS: Can I flame a little? Yes? Bearshare allways tries to distance from MP3, Bearshare is filesharing not napster..... have you seen the headphones the bear is wearing. *grin*

My depiction of "Anti-BearShit" is BearShare to BearShit as if they are the same (parody). Then placing Anti in front as saying Anti-BearShare. Heh you're the Anti-BearShit fan that called me a fag on the BearShare.net forum. Whats up man!? Maybe I should make a parody of your <a href="http://www.gaymen.com">site</a>.
