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.

Angry Leeches

I don't know how Gnutella works, but in kazaa-lite, all the leeches drives me nuts. I would love to have the possibility of denying people that doesn't share to download from me. Or set a limit, unless you share more than 10 gigs, you're not allowed to download from me.

I'm new to XoloX. I like the possibility of multiple searches, but I miss right click, find more from user. And the feature I mention above. But I don't know how Gnutella works, maybe it's implemented already? Anyone care to explain?

while there are ways to implement viewing another's shared files please keep in mind this is file sharing not file trading.

Exactly. And why should I waste my bandwidth on someone that isn't sharing then? It's file SHARING, but the leeches doesn't give a ****. So why share with them?

I don't know where you got your stats from, but I assume they are pretty outdated.

According to my data, 66% of all users are sharing at least 100MB of data. 25% are sharing more than 1GB.

91% of people sharing 100mb+ is highly unlikely...

Who said that it was likely?
Did I skipped something?

66% is sharing more than 100 MB. And only 25 % of those over 1GB. I don't know what others think, but that means there are 34% of total leeches, and 75% of more or less leeches in my eyes. That's not positive numbers. Should definitively be a possibillity for not sharing with those darn leeches.

The average user is using gnutella solely for mp3s and you can't expect those people to share there whole hard drives.

Those numbers are well enough to work with.

Hello!

First of all it is not called Leeches it is called Freeloaders and they are people that do not share any files.Me personally share 14gigs and 5000 files and add about 20-30 files a week so I would pass according to you but you cannot expect people to share that wast amount of data over the network I think that 75MB or about 20mp3 songs are enough for me so that is the limit I have set in LimeWire that people must share in order for them to download from me.If you want Anti freeloading capability then switch to Gnutella and LimeWire wich is the only client that has this function.Want to talk about leeches talk about Kazaa they are leeching on your bandwith.Did you know that your computer's bandwith is used for the hidden network Altnet for Brilliant Digital's paying customers thats leeching!

As mentioned, most of my experience is with KaZaA. KaZaA-Lite that is, and it has no hidden network, no stealing of bandwidth. As for the sharing limit, maybe I was overdoing it a bit. But my point is that I hate free loaders. I don't wish to waste my bandwidth on them. XoloX seems nice, but if there are other clients with the feature I ask for included already, I think it's time for me to switch.

Hello Olav!

Bealieve me you are participating in a hidden network called Altnet it lays on top of Kazaa but you never see's it unless you pay for Brilliant Networks service.You can read all about it on these sites.Articles:

Article 1

Article 2

Article 3

Read more about Brilliant Digital and their network Altnet:

http://www.altnet.com/

But fortunatelly there is a way to get rid of the scumware go here and download the software you need to get rid of it:
B3D Killer

Thank you for the information Joakim. But as I said, I use KaZaA-Lite, not KaZaA. KaZaA-Lite is KaZaA without the hidden network, the motherf...ing Banzai Buddy and so on. And just to be sure, I ran add-aware and B3D killer after I installed KaZaA-Lite. But anyway, thanks for the info.

What I would like to know though, is: If I decide to convert to limewire or gnutlla, to get rid of the freeloaders, what one should I choose, and why? I'm currently running KaZaA-Lite and XoloX, and I'll keep running KaZaA-Lite. XoloX on the other hand, is very nice. But I don't get much downloaded, and then it helps very little. It doesn't deal with freeloaders either.
