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.

the only thing serious here is your attitude...if you can't take the time to do a little research on the most superior gnutella client then you are the one at fault d00d

You are absolutely right about my attitude. I am a but too serious but part of this comes from ignorance and trying to catch up all the time.
I should do some personal research not just with "Bearshare" but other programs as well. I admit I'm a bit gun shy downloading anything from the internet because of all the warnings about viruses' that seem to be rampant in the cyberworld.
On another note; what makes Bearshare so special? And do I really want to know what "d00d" means?
Thanks for the well deserved kick in the behind. I deserved it.

BearShare has been sabotaged.

download the expired beta and the BearStart 'hack' that Aaron links to in the first post, and read the whole thread for hints on how to configure the program then give it a spin..I'm sure you will find that it blows the socks off of LW..

bgdn; Peerless is a wealth of information vault and has helped me several times. I wouldn't worry about the language barrier; somebody here will interpret what you need for help.
Good luck

bgdn hi!
At least with your language barrier you have a legitimate excuse for not knowing all the jargon and abbreviations. I don't, I'm just new here. I'm new period! I do my best to learn what I can but it's like learning a new language. Most folks will be patient, kind, and helpful. To them I am most greatful.
So much to learn, so little time.

All the best;
itsbrkn

Well, not from, as in born here, but here for more years than I want to think about !

There are not that many islands near Europe... Wonder where yours is ?

BearShare really is great... There is still nothing else out there that comes close to it
(Sorry, Phex !)

Many things, but some of the important ones are:

It was really and truly developed by a mix of pros and serious users meeting both privately and within BearShare Labs which was available to all in the old BearShare Forums.

It was always designed to be functional and screw the pretty stuff... Hence there was never any 'skinning' nonsense.

It was and still is the only client that actually respected the intelligence of the user.
The GUI is clean and simple with as much info as you wished to see.

It is 'friendly' within Gnutella Network.

...er, and there was Vinnie !

Aaron can give a very succinct run down on the technical aspects that set BearShare apart from the others.

Don't panic !

It is simply an affectionate nickname used in the Texas insurance business.
