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.

Default Tiscali blocking Limewire

Hi All

This is my first post to this forum as up until now Limewire has been working perfectly and is really easy to use and set up.

Unfortunately after a spell of not using it for a while it is now totally and utterly usless.....

Irrespective of the no. of hosts to download from where I would get anything up to 110kb download speed it is now down to 1-5KB and continually stops for very long pauses before re continuing at an even slower pace.

After reading lots of info/help on this forum (nothing I tried made any difference) I came acrross the isp's that limit p2p downloads and to my shock saw Tiscali mentioned.As I use them (UK) and could find no other reason I posted on the Tiscali UK Forum site and apparently they have been blocking/limiting ALL p2p downloads from 8am to 1pm,irrespective of your bandwidth use (I have the problem with Limewire 24hrs) Tiscali is said to be making an official announcment on the matter in the next week.

If there is anyone using Limewire OK with UKonline ? If yes I would be gratefull if you would say if they are ok or not as Tiscali can go to HELL.

I did try downloads speeds from 'Magnet mix' as suggeseted here many times and the most I could get was 15kb,,mainly though it was about 5kb and continually stopping.

My broadband speed is 1mb on an ADSL modem

Kind regards
Andy

Guys

The same problem you are having with Tiscali I am having with Virgin, the only UK ISPs that I know of that do not block P2P traffic are NTL and Bulldog.

Hi

A couple of links on Tiscali forum just to confirm what we know, it appears p2p only works (if ever) in the VERY early hours of the morning.

http://www.tiscali.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=104845

http://www.tiscali.co.uk/forums/show...86#post1137386

Also I realise this is now over 12 months old but makes interesting reading.Apparently Tiscali were actually taken to court in Belgium to Force them into blocking p2p software ! Sorry if this is something everbody already knows ;-)

I reckon the complete DEATH of all p2p software is very shortly on the 'cards' in the next 2 years...

The 'www' is soon to become a completely unusable comercially enviroment that we can only view what THEY want us to see...somewhat different to what it was invented for.

Oh this world is going to be a lovely place to live in within then next 50 years !!

Andy ;-)

Hi All

If you can bothered have a read of all this....

http://www.tiscali.co.uk/forums/show...2&page=1&pp=15

Tiscali staff have specifically asked people to ask questions re. p2p, when asked unsurprisingly they ignore them all !

They still refuse point blank to confirm on EXACT times that they ARE blocking p2p, except to say that it will be slow during peak times or during any other busy times !! In other words when ever they feel like it

What the hell is the point of these ISP's doing mega broadband speeds and so called unlimited service if you can't download anything ?Does anyone really need 8mb to download an email?

If you are with Tiscali UK ring up and threaten to leave, my 1MB service has now been reduced to £9.99 a month,still not a lot of use if you can only use the Internet a 2am !!!!

Boy are we all getting taken 'for a ride' or what

Regards
Andy

p.s.Apparently Tiscali are soon publishing new terms and conditions of use,this will be a good laugh !

HI

I have these message, i have been with Tiscali for over the past year with 2mb BB, no problems with LW, however since i have informed them i would like a free upgrade to 8mb, i have had nothing but issues with LW, no connection at all.

Oh sorry it did connect one eve quite late at full speed, then is disconnected the following day, I have never since ( 2 weeks ) been able to reconnect.

I may just give up with LW, It was good whilst the going was good !!!!

I was with Tiscali Broadband for six months or so up until October last year, they warned me about "Heavy usage", even though I was only using Limewire once a week or so and for only one or two songs, anyway, they informed me after three email "Warnings" that I would go on the heavy usage list which means basically I would be sharing bandwidth with all P2P users between 5.00pm and 11.00 pm everyday!! Now I also use Camfrog chat, which is a video chatsite, this became unusable between 5-11pm because of being on a limited bandwidth I was "Lagging" way behind everyone else in the chatrooms, even dial-up users of Camfrog were going faster than me!! Anyway Tiscali offered me my Mac code so I went and am now with BT. They emailed me last week telling me that if I continue being a heavy user with them I may have to go on a higher tariff !! My point is I am hardly using Limewire! I no longer go on Camfrog, so, basically the P2P community are being targeted by all isp's how much longer can file sharing survive??
