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 Ban Fake files (not hosts)

On Phex you can BAN hosts, but most of these hosts don't know that they download (and share) fake-files!
I think it would be better to BAN (SHA1 code of) fake-files, see this image (i was searching for 'thisfileisveryfakeohyeah':



Just search for ANY name, even names that don't excist... you will see alot of fake-files, and even more hosts.

You can BAN hosts, but the fake-files will still appear in your search-results from other hosts... you can BAN fake-files (SHA1 code) and then these files will not appear anymore in your search-results, no matter how many hosts are sharing these fake-files!

Banning fake-files will be more efficient then banning hosts if you ask me... but i'm not an expert so maybe i'm completely wrong...

I'd guess it would too; great suggestion. Since spammers can change ip addresses frequently. Eventually some innocent good gnutella sharers may be blocked via your ban list if ip's are banned.

How do we ban the specific SHA1 file code?

Well unfortunately banning SHA1 is not as comfortable as banning hosts. But you can build yourself a search file rule like this:

When receiving search results
with 'urn:sha1:ABC...' or 'urn:sha1:XYZ...' as file urns

Choose one of:
ban their source (for 7 days)
delete them
hide them

And enable the rule permanently.

When you find a new SHA1 you need to add it manually.


I know this is not the ideal solution... but its the only think I can offer right now.
To help a little the search table supports row based Copy&Paste by shortcut keys. On Windows CTRL-C. Just copy the line, paste it into some editor and extract the SHA1.

Hope that helps at least a little....

I second this request! This feature would be the cherry on top of the whipped cream! I do the manual procedure but if there were only one button that did the same thing that would speed up the process by the speed of light //jofan

The hash of files banning is already starting to be introduced into gnutella apps. Time for Phex to add the 'known' such files to their filters.

Filtering out _ .snd __ .au __ .wma _ are a start for anyone to limit a large number of spam files. Also Direct instructions to eliminate porn & other marketing junk from results which applies to all gnutella programs.

the hashes change every time you make a new search.. the sha1 hashes used one week will be different in the week to come. I know bitzi are trying their best to keep up with the flooding of spam and fake files but I think it's a lost cause. Perhaps 1 out of 8 files I look up in their library are known - the rest are new but the file is still shared by 54 different peers. Still this function would be gold! //jofan

Would it be possible to add a default system-junk filter which gets updated when people click on a "ban file" or "mark as spam" button?

It would mean to automate the process for adding a sha1 to a rule.

You would need to establish a trust concept to do this. You cant just accept every added sha1 from anyone.

It feel better if it was kept local and personal. We have the junk file problem because "others" are not trustworthy...

I don't mean a networked junk list, but just a filter rule like the ones we already have. It would only be a convenience function which adapts the filter rule.

Currently we'd have to open the rules wizard, select the rule, add a sha1 and save.

To make that easier, there could be a button which does these steps in one click, using a default rule.
