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.

Why don't you post the portnumber as well so people can see for themselves. Or are we just suppose to take your word for it ???

And FYI a poll usually has options to vote both ways

2 for Germany, one for Switzerland. Sounds european but proxies can change all that logic. A step by step test is required then which I haven't run.

If you feel so strongly about it, then ban that address. You can do that in your filters. It may well be a dynamic address, which means next week that user may have a different address. Perhaps totally different if via proxy. But then some sucker who adopts that address in turn finds they can't connect to many hosts because the ip they adopted for the week or few days is banned by many hosts. It's not as simple as it 1st seems.

Like the poll much better now

Not in any way trying to offend you

Ty for the hint, so now it's clear that SnakefingerFan was kinda right in ranting a bit about that IP and setting up that onesided poll

geee...why don't you set the 'frequency' at ~5 seconds between pings, and bump the packet size to over 100...and do it infinitely....

trivia for the day: what's that? (hint: I've been known to do it to ppl I'm really p!ssed at!)

***edit***ok, so I'm bored...tried the above, and no go...hmmmm...oh yeah, turns out this IP is already on my firewall's blocklist...roflmao..so it is safe (as far as I'm concerned) to assume this IP belongs to a father raping, seven fathered son of a wh0re...

Oh the ping helps a lot! Somehow in some way. Or maybe not.

Blocking this host in your firewall might not be a bad idea but it doesn't really help to filter the results from this host one bit. That's why using PeerGuardian is fairly useless for Gnutella (and just opens another can of worms). It's about time that the LimeWire developers return from hybernation and add such (unfortunately) essential features as *internal* support for IP block lists. And I'm not talking about such bullshit as "Right-Click->Block Host".

If you wonder "why?". Simple, would you let a vet anyway near your guts? I, for one, wouldn't. The right solutions for the wrong problem never work.
