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. |

And now you claim that the alleged blocking by BearShare is destroying Gnutella, so you want to block people in some sort of defense? That is like shooting yourself in the head to defend yourself from someone about to shoot you in the head. |

| > Originally posted by Sephiroth >No my defination of a fair and open gnuella is more like a "market system." Just like the RIAA, with greed and all, that works real good so far. This isn't a market, it's file trading "get that in your head". >Programs are not ment to be equal. You went way off topic with this one, I think a few brain cells came lose. >Really your not paying the bills to keep the host cache online nor do you have any right to tell anyone how to run their program. We don't need host caches anymore, remember? Limewire shut theirs down. Gnucleus uses IRC. Open source just whooped right past the pay for clients on this one! We don't need greed! I think it took Swabby about three days to get "swarming" downloads working, and about 3 or 4 to get ultrapeers going. Shows you that you don't need big bucks to do this. >I think if it really was a problem im sure that the other developers would have spoken up by now.. They did, they are, they made blocking and choice a reality. Did you help? >Because i dont think that they need you looking out for their interest thats really their own responisbility.. This is everyone's responsibility and everyone's concern that shares files via P2P. Greed has screwed things up and it will only get worse as more people get on. The more $$ potential, the more people will try to make a buck off of our computer resources. We have to stop this now. >And no you didnt comment on why its ok for a program like openp2pnet to block gnutella programs and how that make gnutella fair and open.. I will comment. Turn about is fair play. A armed society is a polite society, etc... You now have a choice, and a weapon against greedy people who want to make a buck off your "fair and open" file trading/swapping. My concept of fair is when I swap with other like minded people without a thrid party making a buck from my efforts. I am not "open" to greedy people who think everything I do should make them a buck. Pay for clients offer nothing if they don't provide a service. Napster provided servers, but that isn't possible on a truly free suit proof swap system and the lawyers are proving it. As long as no profit is made between two people swaping there isn't much the lawyers can do because money didn't trade hands. Copyrights were designed to stop those greedy people who printed 100,000 copies of records etc. and sold them for a large profit. Not for the small trader like on P2P for free. It looks to me that people now have a opportunity to halt the greed before it gets to hard to stop. I hope they realize that this type of opportunity doesn't come along every day. Timing is everything. |

| >Originally posted by mrgone4662 >And if BearShare was blocking you then what connections of theirs would there be for you to block? The ones that use my computer network resources by connecting to me to support their "network" that they charge for (by whatever means, spyware, adware). Pay for clients will be "blocking" the free clients soon enough. It will be done when they form their own little networks after developing a user base off of all of our collective trading efforts and computer resources. Stop them now! >And now you claim that the alleged blocking by BearShare is destroying Gnutella, so you want to block people in some sort of defense? No, we are blocking the client, people can still download a free client and continue trading without spamware/spyware, knowing their efforts are not going towards anyone's new car purchases. Network size remains the same because people just dump pay for clients. No difference to the file trader at all, except for the lack of ads and SPAM! This is good because it can happen over a period of time, not when some greedy client throws a switch and decides to make his own name brand network. Shouldn't I get paid for providing the network services that they make a profit on? After all, it costs me electricity and connect fees doesn't it? Where do I send the bill? I think we know your point of view by now. What your motivation is anyone's gue$$. This does not affect the users, it affects the people who are leeching off of our computer resources/time to make a buck. |

OF COURSE I AM MOAK ALL PEOPLE HERE KNOW THAT!!!  And I fake all post from Vinnie on bearshare.net, in the GDF and here...  And you and mrgone are very polite people who of course not insult...  I wonder because you said a few days ago you will leave and go to zeropaid... now you are back? And will tell me how I have to do my job??? Raise a poll and ask the users here if they think I am doing a bad job... if they agree I retreat if not... And CycloCide can handle this thread and close it, of course he can! Or do you think I am CycloCide too?  Yes very good statement - instead of posting arguements you post that we are all bad... hmm... perhaps if you post some REAL arguements the people would reply with arguements too??? But if you insult the people and think they will reply friendly you are wrong! Morgwen Last edited by Morgwen; March 30th, 2002 at 02:11 PM. |
