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.

FS1: Hey Filo, how you doin?
FS2: Hi Filo.Not bad.
FS1: You kinda stuck?
FS2: Just a bit. Got me this Limeywire thing attached to the mp3 download site and having some probs with it. Trying to find the answer but no joy.
FS1: Yeah, it's the same with anything you get on the net nowadays. 'Buy this, it's cheap and easy'. What they dont tell you is it will take you 4 years just to read and understand all the FAQ's because instead of putting it in a language everyone can understand, they fill it with phrases only computer professors can read. You see Filo, Your not meant to understand ALL of it otherwise the know-it-all's would have their ego's dented.
FS2: Fair comment Filo, but I don't expect to know it all. Just enough to use it correctly and safely. All these icons must give out the wrong message or something. Look at that envelopy one i've got. Can't find anywhere what that means. Methinks it's putting people off, Filo.
FS1: Or it could be that your talking to yourself?
FS2: I have to, Filo. It's that 'trying to work it out in your head' senario. Besides, i think i could learn something about patience in the 2 hours it looks like it's gonna take to download a track.
FS1: Do you know, Shaggers, I think your right. Well, gotta go. I've a hot date with a download manageress. See ya kiddo.
FS2: Yeah, see you later.(now wheres me book?)

Steif: Nah. Anyhow, somebody up there must like an idiot because it started working this afternoon, 26hrs after I started. Even wierder was other problems cleared up as well (so did the weather).

FS1: I told you the b/band cable didn't plug into the aerial socket. Maybe you'll believe me now and take the phone out of the light fitting.

FS2: Get back in yer crate. Yes, well thanks for answering Steif. Though there is one question - with the monitor tab, it doesn't seem though anyone is uploading any of my stuff but the router light is going mad. I have let access to my music folder but how does a search recognise the artist from just a song title? Does it recognise titles of folders as well?

--the router light refects all the connection traffic. See the LimeWire tools->statistics->bandwidth to watch how much data is being processed. The "gnutella" traffic is for searches and connections; the "http" traffic is for transfers.

If you are running as an ultrapeer, that will use up about 10 KB/s alone.

re the search recognition, LW makes a table of file descriptions that uses keywords from the filename, folder path/names, metadata (like artist, bitrate etc), time, hash, extension and probably even more data that accurately describes a file. It's a bit like the Finder Info, but much fuller.

So, when enough of the keywords match the table, LW will respond to a search request.

If you are interesting in searching for even more info about the ideas behind much of gnutella's code, the developers have started and are updating a searchable wiki. Here's the link http://www.the-gdf.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

cheers

Hey, Thank you Steif. There has been 2 u/l's in the past 10 minutes so i'm happy to be contributing and not feel like a tea leaf. It also means I don't have to go through all my music's ID tags and fill them in. Cheers bud.
