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.

Angry Forcefully disconnecting user. NO THANKS!!!

Here is a question to all *******s that forcefully disconnect user. I'm steaming about this problems!!!
Why? I trying to download some mp3 file and the same bounch of IP addresses are forcefully disconnecting me. I think it is so darn rude. Is it because we are a second-class client? Because we do not have eider DSL or T1 connection? Yes I have “only” 56k modem. It’s because up here in the mountain we do not have eider DSL or cable modem. Yes, we have cable but the cable company is refusing to install cable modem. Please help us with slow speed to get the stuff too. We are sharing with you SO SHARE BACK. And turn of your block on slow speed. We have this P2P for sharing not as a status symbol!!
I think everybody should try to talk to the people that have a block and if that is not working we should publish their IP address and everybody can disconnecting them.

Stop disconnect madness!!!!
Please tell us what you think!!!

Are you saying that in one hour you requested 38 different files? And you use a dial-up? If I'm reading you correctly, I'd disconnect you too. I've got a fairly fast connection, but to keep things under control I've limited the number of simultaneous uploads. Within a few minutes of me firing up the client software, all those upload slots are in use and they stay in use until I shut down. From looking at the logs, I know that I'm rejecting at least 100 upload requests for every one that gets through. I can't stand to see one of those slots poking along at 500 bytes/sec, which is about where you'd be if you were downloading half those 38 files on a dial-up.

It's like I'm running a very busy tavern. There are only so many seats at the bar. If you're sitting at one of them, you better be drinking at a reasonable rate. I've got customers six deep waiting for a seat to open up and if you're not going to make good use of yours, I'm going to kick you out and let a real drinker have your stool.

I'm not saying you have to be downloading at DSL speeds, but I at least want to see a good percentage of your dial-up bandwidth dedicated to that transfer. If you can't keep up at least 1k bytes/sec download speed, you don't want that file bad enough. At least that's my take on it.

I HAVE a cable modem and I can't connect to download most of the stuff I try because all the available upload slots on the target clients are in use. To go back to the tavern analogy, it's like all the seats at the bar are being used by people slowly sipping at their drinks while the heavy drinkers are standing outside waiting for a seat to open up. If the barkeep doesn't get rid of those slow drinkers he's going to go out of business. If Gnet doesn't figure out how to efficiently manage the available bandwidth, people are going to get tired of seeing screens full of "Queued" statuses and they'll go looking for alternatives. People on dial-ups requesting dozens of files simultaneously only compounds the problem.

I tried in 1 hour 38 diffrent files, If I din't get one I tryed an other, whats wrong with that? Not all in one shot. What do you think "I'm crazy"? And then last night one of then that was kicking me out all-the-time (ip address 127.0.0.1,) swarmed my mashine with 500!! request in 15 minuts, I think that was quite funny, no I didn't kick him/her off. I just wonder why that person did that.

That should be funny since you're connecting to yourself.

While I don't feel qualified to comment authoritatively on the state of your mental health, I will say you seem to be in better shape than some of the people who upload from me. I can't tell you how many times I've seen transfers slow to an absolute crawl. I know the problem isn't on my end, so, when I see an upload going at 200 bytes/sec, I can only assume the person on the other end has severely overloaded their connection. In these cases, I have no qualms about hitting the disconnect button.

I have no problem with dial-up users attempting to download 38 files in an hour. It's the ones who actually have 38 going at one time that I have a problem with.
