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 Not Sharing

I constantly have people downloading from me and they refuse to share their work. Especially Bearshare. How do I put a stop to this. It isn't fair to those of us that do share. Is there something that I can do?

This is not as simple a subject as it might seem, and it is for instance difficult if not impossible(I forget which) to browse Bearshare from Limewire. Firewall set ups, router use by hosts, and the fact that they may download on one machine and share from another, are the sort of things that make it virtually impossible to see who is not sharing (or "freeloading") and who is.

Browsing hosts is not a perfect science

If you use the search button above right and look for freeloader you will find many threads on the subject.

Certainly there are a lot of freeloaders out there, and the only way you can really tell who they are is by intuition, and even that will probably not be much use.

I hope this sort of answers your question. There is a freelader filter in Limewire, but opinions vary as to whether it works atall

Thank you Hobo for the feedback. Your right it seems like I have the problem with Bearshare only. When I did the LimewirePro I put down no freeloaders. I wonder iof by chance Leechammer works on the Limewire? Guess I have to live with it. When I do look at their music it says can't browse or just kill upload. Oh well what the hell. Thanks again Hobo.

BearShare users are definitely not easy to browse. The later the version, the more chance you have. But it also depends on many other factors such as whether you & they have free upload & downld slots & bandwidth & whether you can get a decent connection with them without interference in between. There's prolly other factors. I always keep my chat enabled, as that at least makes it easier for people to browse me. Whether it has any effect the other way around I don't know.

I have browsed bs before but it took a long time happening. I think my 1st time was about a year ago.

When I used Winmx I used Leechhammer to stop them from getting the music if they didn't share with others and it worked well. Haven't tried with Limewire > Have you heard anything about that yet?

I never used winmx but heard it had an efficient leech filter as do some other programs on other networks. However, the way Gnutella is set up it's not so easy to incorporate.

If you wanted to strictly stop BS or another client from connecting to you, there is a way I believe but I'm not sure how this is done. I think it has something to do with preference settings. Others would know more about this. stief & et voilà would know the ins & outs about this.

Thank you for the feedback. Maybe the ones you told me about might read this. If not I guess I will just let it go. I was just conmcerned because those opf you who do share, it is not fair for those who don't.
