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.

Angry Upload Troubles

I made a video on my computer and promised my friends they would be able to download it through LimeWire. How do I upload the movie to the network?

You only need to make certain that the file is in your elected shared folder...

Also, don't forget that the way that Gnutella Network actually works means that there is no certainty that even someone living next door to you is going to instantly find you within the network...

Your alternatives would be to learn how to make so-called 'direct connects' with your friends using Gnutella Network...

This is not really crazy complicated but you have to be nuts to try to do it without also using a chat channel of some type... Yahoo or MSN or whatever... You really will want to be in real-time chat contact while you are trying to establish a 'direct connect' and while you are trying to maintain any 'privacy' on that connection...

Remember... With Gnutella Network you and your friends can create your own 'private network' within Gnutella Network...
(Some idiots out there may go a bit ballistic at my last words, but ignore them... As long as you are still sharing generally within the network, using 'direct connects' can be a very easy way to INCREASE the total numbers of sources for rare files !!!
If you or a friend has something interesting, new or rare to share and... and you are able to get together with a few other friends and all share the interesting stuff quickly, then you and your friends are going to become a sudden increase in sources throughout the overall network, right ?)

There are many posts on this subject here in the various forums so have a long search and read first...

----

If, you are instead referring to a privately made video that you wish to share amongst your friends but not to the general public...

There are more secure alternatives...

Why don't you tell them to direct connect with you. Best if you enable chat if you're going to do this. It seems to improve things. You'll need LW version 4.2.2 or any of the recent betas for direct connect. To find your ip go here: http://www.broadbandreports.com/whois

Remember also that one or more of you may suffer from the 'dynamic IP blues' !!!

If any of the friends with whom you wish to 'direct connect' are with dynamic (changing) IP addresses, you will need the chat connection so that if one of you switches off or crashes or whatever you will be able to report the 'new' IP address !

Be sure to save the logs of your chat connects covering the first 10 hours or so of you all trying to get this stuff down so it's almost easy !!!
Those logs will make great reading someday !!!


LOL

I'm checking it out. What OS version do you use?
And are you a pro user or use the free version?
