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 fast modem? hassle free share? applespyware? 24/7 mac?

i ve done all the searches and know now that as a mac osx, i must never use exe but dmg, maybe sit but NEVER awesome, please download etc

but a couple of questions for you generous folks out there:

is there a way to make modem faster? (i have waiting for 3 days for 'cupcake trailers')

and when 'cupcake trailers' came, i re-installed my os --i am that much of a cp dummy--and lost it and this leads to the second question:
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF APPLE DOES SPY IN ANYWAY??
(having 'cupcake trailers' finally so excited me that i was suddenly nervous apple was in on it through their .local and reinstalled my os thinking i cd undo whatever they installed at purchase!! )

thirdly, do 'SINs' generally work? it worked for the 'cupcake trailers' (the one i erased by error after a 72hour wait!) but i havent been able to make sinning for another file work.

also, does anyone know if running your mac 24/7 could KILL it?? this is a big stress of mine. i'm up nights freting over this.

finally, does any one have 'cupcake trailers' to share -FULLY INSTALLABLE? i need it sorely and have spent ever penny buying this handsome osx!
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SHARE, DO PLEASE SHARE IT PROPERLY (AS A FULL PACK FILE SHARE with all the working sins, compression/decompression info, etc)! (there are wanabes files there that aint right at all!!)

Ok, I'll answer a couple of your questions:
-It's recomended that you leave your comp at rest for awhile, give it a break. It's never good to overwork something.
-About the spying thing, I don't really know but I don't think so. I mean, I'm sure that they don't want people to get illegal copies off their stuff, but I'm not sure if they'd get as far as to actually resort to spying.

No.

What you can do is to change some settings in Limewire to improve your performance but you can´t download faster than your modem/connection allows it.

At least is goes faster... all what you use 24 hours will be ruined faster. You should try to work 24 hours a day you will see how long you will live.

No. My mac is 24/7. It is recommended if possible that your computer stays open (except for the screen). Hardware hates to go from no tension (off) to tension (on). After thousands of that repeat cycle, it makes hardware get older faster. One thing to check though is the hard drive: a hard drive always writing/reading stuff gets older faster. P2P can be hard drive killer. But it never hapenned to me yet Also os x loves that computer stays awake: at midnight, os x runs maintenance scripts that clean your computer like when you restart it. If you make your computer sleep at that hour, your computer will get slower over the days. There are os x apps that can do those maintenance scripts whenever you feel. I recommend OnyX available at http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/11582

Ciao

I cant´t imagine that its better for a comp to run 24/7 than to get sometimes a rest... and you should think about the extra power and the costs to run it 24/7... so my comp is running only when I need it. Actually almost 24/7...

Well my comp is also a web server. And an iMac G3 doesn't consume 1/2 the energy needed for a desktop PC. Gotta love apple hardware!

When I bought it 4 years ago, I could I've built an equivalent PC for half the price. But man, working in XP is a pain once you use os x. Quality and productivity has a price

I didn't think correctly about physics (electicity and stuff). But I too find it kinda hard, not to believe, but, in a way, "absorb" (and do) what you say. I feel sorry for my comp... Poor thing... Doing overtime for it's greedy master....
