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 What do I do if someone is uploading from me and...

If someone is uploading songs from me what am I suppose to do after I have waited for hours for others to stop uploading? Just when I think everyone is finished some others come on to upload. And I just can't switch them off especially when some of the other uploads are not yet completed. I often leave my computer on 19-24 hours at a time so I won't cut anyone off like a few do to me. I realize I have no obligation to keep my PC on that long but sheesh...you just can't cut someone off in the middle of an upload. I wish there was a way to get a message to those when they are uploading, especially when I need to restart. Like ,"Hey guys, I Need to reboot. Hold on, I'll be right back."

I think my ISP is getting a bad message because one tech asked me if I shut down at night. He then informed I was suppose to or maybe he said it was reccomended that I do. Maybe...but since I am paying for 24/7 I leave it on as long as I need/want to.
Anyway, this is my concern. Any ideas from anyone?
Thanks.
Serbie.................Hobo, if you're reading this hi there. Long time.

Serbie Hi
What I do is, when I want to close I go to options,uploads,slots and put total uploads to 0, and press apply, the one's that are active will continue till finnished but no more will start. Dont forget to put it back after though,or you may get seen as a freeloader.
Peace.

Try this:

1. right-click on LW in the system tray
2. select 'exit after transfers'

I believe LW will not initiate any new uploads this way, but will allow your current uploads to finish.

BTW, I wouldn't worry so much about others...sometimes you have to reboot, etc.! If people are paying attention to their downloads, they will restart them if they stop. Sometimes it takes me days to get a file I want, but who am I to complain if I am getting a file for free while sitting on my butt? I do get frustrated, however, when I download 50% of a file, and for the life of me cannot DL the rest of it, even though I try for days on end. The file most likely is not being shared any longer. Oh well. It sounds like you share more than your share ha ha...

Have a good one

Sorry, had to post this...just looked at LW tip of the day and the answer to this question was there!

The way LW says to do it is:

options...uploads...system tray...shutdown after transfers

See ya

Smile RE:uploading

Thanks guys! What you do mick seems to work for me. Thank you much!
Nope, I won't forget to change it back. I've got so much music off of LW that is much appreciated and I spend hours every night listening to it. So I wouldn't want to shortchange others.
Nice to meet you mick and Dano & thanks once again.

That's a good way to get yourself blocked by a no. of hosts. They'll think you're a fake file spammer.

Personally I leave my machine on for 3-5+ days at a time so with such long sessions I believe everyone has a decent chance to finish their files & besides, I'm never offline for long. So I set my LW for immediate shutdown. They can pick up any incomplete downlds a day or 2 later & complete them.

So I guess it depends upon your personal habits of how long you spend online.

As for Chat ... LW are aware of this issue & I suspect it will be fixed by the next release.

As for getting stuck with files at 50%, remember not everybody is online everyday. Some are weekenders, some a day or 2 every couple of weeks. And some are just difficult to reconnect to. With any luck there's others out there with the same files.
