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 Multiple Uploads -same IP

I have asked this before, but no real light shone on it, does anyone else have this problem? I often notice multiple attempts to upload the same file from the same address, is this a function of a download accelerator? that three( I have my upload slots set to three) requests for the same file register in my uploads window???? how can i stop this? is there a trick that some people know?
yours puzzled,
N2

N2, your not the only one... this happens... [my guess would be..] when some user tries to download two or more of the same file in hope that one will download faster than the other, sound quality will be better, or some other reason...

This might be due to the variation between files....

Vicarious,thanks for reply,
Weird isn't it ! I can't download the same file more than once, i.e. if you click on the same file that you are already downloading, you can't,I suppose you can find the file on another host and that doesn't make sense, so how is this possible?

... not exactly sure..

For example:
I download a file that's 2mb & another that is 4mb...
After you finish downloading, you will see (at search) that you downloaded all these files that arent the same file size or length. [2.5mb, 3mb,...]

I noticed this when I went back to download a different file, the original length was about 4:25 min., but I had alleged downloaded one that was 3:30...
This may be due to fragments.

Then again, this is my hypothesis...

I bet that if you go back and search any files you've already downloaded (such as music)... you'll see this...

Yes, I understand that bit, ie you can download different file sizes for the same title,but what i meant was,the file I have for example, is one file, one size,say a movie,and i have 10 available slots of which i have allocated three per person, how can 1 person make three or more upload slots for the same file? ie multiple requests for the same file?????????? at the same time?????/
LWire allows 10 upload places, three people can take up 9 places for 1 movie,VERY GREEDY, not allowing others a fair bite of the cake is it? Do download accelerators make multiple requests i wonder? how can I stop this?
without constantly monitoring the upload window?
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks vicarious for input so far.
Yours still puzzled,
N2

Im using 4.12.3 pro, and there is an option to change the behaviar of allowing
more than one download, its only changable during setup,
Not sure what version it first began. Looks like its being abused. when I see
People Doing this I give them a chance, maybe accident ,so I kill the least
complete download, If it comes up agin, They Are Added To My Banned list
Hope this helps you two.
Peace.

Hi newbee2.
Can I just add, that my banned list is deleted at the end of each session in L/W ,someone els may have those IP addresses tomorrow and I would have
narrowed my search resolts as well as being un fair .so I make sure I clear it at the end of each day.
Peace.

Neebee2

You and mickjapa108 have had a good discussion but it is somewhat disrespectful to try and BUMP an answer out of him. Remember, like you everybody in this forum is a volunteer and have other things in our lives we have to do. And also things will run a lot smoother and less open to misunderstandings if we regulars treat each other with courtesy and respect.
