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.

The other thing I want to know is if someone spent their time writing some code for this, would it get used? Are you open and able to test & modify this code? If a patch file was generated can you figure out how to apply it? Is this the "full version" for the software? Is it the latest release? Has there been any mods applied so far?

AFAIK that is the full version and its the latest release.

simple solution against blinking banners and popups is to block them with webwasher or similar tool. I wouldn't do if webmaster take care about there visitors. But bombarding them with popups and blinking animated banners is a sign "I don't care and please block my banners".
Yes, that's what a lot of people do. In fact, I have a popup stopper installed myself. But the problem, again, isn't at CycloCyde really, but the one that provides him the advertisements and the advertiser itself.

Perhaps you've noticed this. Advertisers are well aware that ads are being filtered and popups are being blocked. It would be very ignorant if they didn't. So now you're starting to notice advertisements that are part of the webpage itself, in the form of dHTML. That is, you'll see Toyota cars leaving skidmarks on the web page, AT&T is having a virtual cell-phone on the web page (preferably placed over the content for at least 5 minutes). Luckily, they aren't here on Gnutella Forums. But I am very tempted to add "yet" to that.

However, I do like the suggestion some have made to use a donation system. More websites and application developers are trying to use this method now.

There's only thing that concerns me about the donation system, which is from the time that ShareWare started to become CrackWare (cracked Shareware, so there's no need to register). In other words, how many honest people are there still out there willing to donate? It's almost like the message "Share damnit!" in the General Discussion forum - honesty is passe, leech for your own good.

Nevertheless, if there's a better way to keep the costs of running this site down, let CycloCyde know or post it here.

If you notice, the URL for the forum looks someting like this (taken apart so it posts here):

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?

s=647b219b357b0c4a916dc515295963a6&forumid=5

The s= part is a session ID, unique for each time you come here, and is probably good for 24 hours.

If that number could be tied to a first name or handle that the user types in when he first comes on here, then it would be much less hassle to "log in".

Just a idea.

If you are registered, you can choose to use cookies so there's no need to log in at all. Aren't you tired of having to go through that step every time you post?

OK. You got me. Sometimes I need to think before I speak. I was thinking about other forums which I also used to frequent.

The step would be NOT having to enter your first name or handle every time you post, and NOT having to have cookies on for this site and have to turn it off for others because of the misuse of cookies by these lame marketing companies.
And you should ask the question, if there is a session ID here, why does this forum require cookies?
I have seen forum software such as ultraboard and a few others that don't need cookies at all.

I think what you mean, is that when you enter the forum, you enter some sort of name. Then for the entire time you visit the forum, internal links will keep a refference to that name, without the need of cookies (as long you follow the links), correct?

I have no idea. Ask Jelsoft (http://www.vbulletin.com/); they're the ones who made it.
