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.

Question Unregistered user? Why so...

How comes it that so many Unregistered user can use the forums? And why are they not registration for? Are they afraid that some one will answer them? Please, stop this foolish not to reg yourself before you posting or answer. I think that is normal curtisey to intruduce yourself, with a name.

The only problem with being unregistered is that you don't receive e-mail notification. I don't understand why unregistered people don't just write a nickname in the box.

I like that these boards don't require registration -- I really don't like having to verify emails/change passwords if I have just one question about a service.

Also, what's the deal with all the demo software that requires registration or form-filling? Why does netscape or macromedia need to know my address for me to try their software? Not to mention the New York Times.

I don't turn on cookies anyway.
I don't turn on Java or JavaScript (if you even know what that is or how you can turn it off thanks to Microcroft).
Logging in is a pain in the ****.
Even if I did register, how would you really know it's me?
Could I register twice and argue a point with myself?
Could I use a hotmail account or THREE?
Do you know who owns all those hotmail accounts that have registered here?
So called "registered" users are really more anonymous because you think they have been checked out so no one really bothers questioning who they are.
Does hotmail come to your house and check to make sure the name on your underwear matches the name you registered with?
When someone here stops posting for a while, did they get busy or are they just using their "other" account for a while?
Could I write a script that registers me with a new name every day?
Does it matter as long as you get something from the content of the post?
Did the government identify cars with little numbers to make you feel safe?
Do you now feel safe? Is there crime anymore?
Is the government now taxing you to hell via that little number/safety you thought you got?
Did you give up your freedom for a little so called safety?
Freedom. Waive those flags, but know why you are waiving them and don't waive your freedoms.

and so on.....

The thing is, that if you have 20 Unregistered user in one tread. Who is who? I don't care if you have an e-mail account or not (if not, why not get one of all this free account) at least I know that I can give the right person my answer. If you are so paranoid, that you hiding, why are you at all on the internet? So. if you using a fake name, who's care. Not me. I think that people is so paranoid because they have somthing to hide.
No, HotMail dosen't come to your house to check out your underware..... I promest that. I have an account with them for years now and no one have come jet. LOL
Mr Benjamin Franklin said somthing that we should remember "People have the goverment they deserve". With other word imoral people imoral goverment or corupt people corupt geverment and so on.... To responce to you freedom quote. I think that says all. And remember that you have to know your history so you don't do the same misstake again.. Yes, freedom is important and goverment should stay out of peoples privet business. And with freedom comes responceblity is not a word that we should hide behind.
But I still say the registered user have the guts to stand for what he/she have said.

Peace and love to all.

I find it entertaining to watch two unregistered users argue with each other. It's part of the fun here.

I stand for what I say, and I have come up with several new improvements to Gnutella, and even tried to keep corporate greed from taking over.
I don't understand why registering is such a big deal to some people, it really doesn't matter.
I remember when one free people were the only country where they had no king, and people would argue and argue until they finally got their king, just like all the other countries.
Thus a free people made themselves SUBJECTS (slaves) all because "everyone else does it".
In the good ol USA they don't have a land tax, they have a PROPERTY TAX, and when you go down and REGISTER your LAND as property, you are then taxed.
You have lost your privacy because you registered your land, all for what you thought was some kind of safety.
Everyone here has something to hide, if not then they would all post there life story and all their personal information. There's nothing wrong with a little privacy.

Good reason to "register" like everyone else. No thanks.

Sure that'd funny. but if we now have 5-10 unreg and you like to respond to some of them!! it would be easy to respond to them if they hade a name. Than to respond to "mr/miss/mrs Unreg".

Ok have old are you??? 150 - 200 year?? "You remember"!! LOL Yes I do not belive in kings and queens. In my view they are leaches of civilation. I don't think you should "be born" to be anything (goverment positions or company CEO you should earn it).

I agree that the goverment should not tax you land. It is yours not theirs and you should have the right to do with your land as you pleases.

I don't. I had my life storie posted on my website for years, (lost it because of money problems, will set the site up again after I have straited it out) I using the name "RealBigSwede" because I'm a Real Big Swede (6'4" and 300+) and anyone can send me an E-mail if they like. My name is Roland Hagge, but I like the nick name.
Yes, privace is importen, But not when it's starting to get fundamentalistic.


Peace and Love to all

"News Sites Getting to Know You"

" The Online Journalism Review has a story about more and more news sites requiring registration. Has assorted facts and figures, including how much sites' traffic dropped when registration was required.
Even though a fair percentage of people just make up the data they are asked to provide, I'd guess that as a statistical measure it's probably pretty accurate - many people would tell the truth without caring that they're being tracked."
