Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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. Donīt 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.

Morgwen
Well, I care. The majority of computer users do not even know what spyware is. They are usually the real victims of spyware, and are often infected by spyware clients. You have done a lot to remedy this situation, however. Thanks Morgwen! You have done as much for the Gnutella community as any of the developers, IMHO at least.

Yes I care about the spyware, too! But I hope/know that many will switch over to Xolox or other clients, especially now after bearshare will use cydoor!

Morg, you should really try to keep up to date on these things. BearShare 2.6 does not come with cydoor. Cydoor elicited a hell of a responce by just about everyone at BearShare.net and it looks like Freepeers is reexamining their options.

I am SOOO sorry that I didnīt test the NEW version which was released yesterday!

Yes you are right I should REALLY test every version of every client immediatly, because I have no private life!

And of course I have to read ALL websites that I know which client released a new version! Did you see that Becker donīt updated his annoucement?

I donīt visit bearshare.net very often so if somebody is more up to date he can post his infos here but donīt expect that I can know everything!

I've not seen any log-files that actually indicate Gator is doing any worse than tracking which websites you visit and how often you visit them.
If you are so afraid of spyware (paranoia?!), - don't use proprietary software.
I'm sorry John you are soooo wrong. Gator is one of the "best" spyware and slimeware. Yes, it "helps" you fill in your form while it checking out where and what you doing on the net. One other great "helper without the spyware is "roboform"( http://www.roboform.com/), it's even have a password "generator". Recoment by PC Magazin becauce it have no spyware. An other "super" spy is "Bonzi", it will take over, even change you browzer, and all the time it will tell you "why don't we go to my favorit sites" and the it takes to a shop site.
I using "ADWare" to clean out all spyware about every day or when i closeing down my internet conection. (Ok so I'm little paranoid, but every week i kill about 5 - 10 spyware that I have got'n on line.)
