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.

All video and film clip downloaders and watchers should read the following:

Please note, your updated AV scanner may not be able to pick up malware inbedded in a video files just yet, but I guess the arms race has just taken another turn.

Yes, i usually never use BT, but people keep recommending it.

What do mean by "light is relative"?

I will delete the second file - Wierd thing is everyone had goos things to say about it, i always read what people say before downloading, thats why i suspect something may be wrong with my machine.
firstly, your computer is nice and dandy and that should NOT be any part of problems with video playback (assuming said video is 'good')..you should be able to watch a video, be downloading, and probably even be actively scanning your drive with a virus scanner at the same time, and still get good playback...


second, light is relative was in reference to your query "Does this shed some light on the subject?"...:wink:

finally re: BT trackers...they are just as flooded with fake files and fake reviews as gnutella is...I've tried to download stuff off of The Pirate Bay (a very reputable site) that was totally bogus...its just part of the 'scene' at the moment...

Ahh i see. Yes, i have never had any problems watching videos before since i installed all the codec packs. I dont understand about what i did to fix it, just followed the instructions i was given my MS Crash Analysis website.

I agree about the BT, i have a file at the moment that just stopped at 97.7%, only 2MB to go! IT WONT BUDGE, says there is 11 seeds but none are connected! Frustrating.

definitely is a guess...the last time I dealt with this it surely appeared to be faker after I rooted up another source for the file I wanted...MAFIAA afaik is a kinda reference to the mpaa and riaa and their mafia like tactics...

it may be a real file, but I've heard many stories similar to you, and I have seen it myself where the file never, ever completes...

In that case I think i will deleting this file. Are they trying to combat file sharing by using stupid cheap tactics like this? Good luck!!! Looks like i'm not the only one, see the link.

What have you found to be the best source of torrent files? Sometimes i can't get what i want from LW.

I have found no consistent source of good files....and as noted rarely resort to BT as a source of any file because as far as I'm concerned its very insecure having so many users directly associated with you...and as noted, I pretty much get all older stuff off of gnutella via BearShare...while gnutella may be a good week behind torrents and IRC, it is still a good source of files and has the advantage of bitzi lookup..
