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.

After announcing Windows NT Microsoft hired UNIX developers and they bought into a UNIX company named Santa Cruz Operation. In addition Windows NT complies with the POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for Unix) standards.

Windows NT had a lot more in common with UNIX than with MS-DOS and although it is just a rumour that NT contained pieces BSD-code, they were at least inspired by it.

Actually this was a big joke at the time. NT's POSIX support was a last minute add-on and absolute crap at that. They needed to claim support since it was a requirement for certain government bids, but it never actually worked. Aside from the TCP/IP stack, the whole NT/BSD thing is mostly urban legend. Too bad actually, BSD is far more stable.

Coming back to topic. I wonder if even John still denies the trouble of spyware?
Before you answers.... read what the developer of Bearshare wrote at gnutella.com: "Gator is an extremely underhanded company. We repeatedly turned down their deals because they always had something sneaky up their sleeves. Yes, Gator will install Web3000 and even Onflow. They neglected to tell LimeWire about it." Thx for honesty! Read the full comment at http://www.gnutella.com/forums/general/34

Exclamation Unclear point!

Still one unclear point about spytools in limewire is cydoor, the only non optional component. LimeCrew states it does not diclose personal information; on the other side others say that it is one of the worst things on the net...
Personally I believe that lime crew says this honestly, but is it really like that? Is cydoor (or this cydoor product) only a ad delivery system? Please respond,

Nope. At least not until Microsoft buys off enough legislators to make alternative OS'es illegal under the DMCA! ;-)

Exclamation Spyware/Trojan fiasko

For the records... recent spyware bundler did deliver a new trojan/spyware (DLDER) together with their clients. Those have been our old and well known spyware friends:

- Bearshare (Gnutella clone)
- LimeWire (Gnutella clone)
- Kazaa (FastTrack clone)
- Grokster (FastTrack clone)

If you did recently use one of those client, make sure you use a _new_ anti virus (TrendMicro) or anti spyware tool (AdAware) today! You won't see any warning on the webpages of those vendors, but the existance was proofen on many webpages:

http://wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,49430,00.html
http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-8335745.html
http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/intern...y.ap/index.html
http://www.zeropaid.com/news/article.../01012002a.php
http://www.bearshare.net/forum/showt...&threadid=8252
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=6423
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=6781

It seems those vendors do not have controll over their spyware, sorry boys, but isn't it true? The new trojan/spyware was allways installed without asking the user (non optional), the vendors rated this piece of software 'Adware'.

If you don't like Spyware - don't use it. Choose a spyware free gnutella client!

PS: LimeWire finally issued an official statement: http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/trojan
