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. |

 sneaky way to make private LW or BS network say that you are a egotestical maniac bent on ruling the gnutella world and you think your program is the best so you make a plan to somehow have your client connect to itself mostly without alerting others how do you do this? lets say you call your program "bare" because you download naked ladies all the time, it's the best program available! your plan is amazingly clever, you use the new pong caching! what is that? every time you connect to another gnutella client it will return about 10 IP addresses of other clients out there so you can build a cache of others to connect to say that your ego is so big you just couldnt resist and decided to only return IP addrs of "bare" clients only! this would create a little private network of bare clients and you rule the world!! anyone who connects to you will then use your list to connect to other clients, which are all bare, and then those bare clients will send more addrs of bare and you rule the world! wait! someone might find out, so you simply write a little random thing that picks a few non bare IP addrs just to save face, but then your ego decides to leave that out since you are having fun and rule the world anyway, you make your client start sucking up all the open incoming connections on any non-bare client by constantly connecting to any non-bare client you find, connect, send some pongs all over the network and disconnect, and I mean really hit them over and over without delay don't do this to your own clients, you need to keep a list of known addrs for bare clients so you don't bother them and just for fun, if they are mostly connected to your private little bare network, don't hit their incoming ports because you can use them to suck more people into the bare network now you have a core circle of bare only clients surounded by those crappy competing clients and you can make them look real bad by sending them less results and delaying packets to them you can get even more fancy and wait till they send out a search, then drop the connection! This should make the bare client look good and make it more popular ($$$$) real life true story, this is happening now and is why greed doesn't belong on gnutella its time to start blocking those clients that behave like this it would be easy to id those clients and if you get too many connections of that type, ban it for 30 minutes  |

| This could explain why bearshare never connected to a Xolox client! But Limewire is open source you can check if they do it this way! Limewire uses an own (private) router (router.limewire.com!) that is the reason why you find mostly lw clients - i think so! Morgwen |

Blocking wouldn't help. In the Morpheus case, they were forced to make a fast switch because of an attack on the FastTrack network, possibly by rival Kazaa. I fully expect that in order to stay in business they would have to make sure they offer users a comparable experience to the old network. On the other hand if it goes on for longer than it should I would imagine creating a separate network of BearShare-only nodes. This would solve another problem that has been plaguing the network recently (fake query hits). Taken from the GDF message 5754! Freepeers = Vinnie! Morgwen |
