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.

Angry HELP! Extra Bandwidth - Overcharged

My ISP seems to overcharge my bill saying I am using extra bandwidth? How do I stop this from happening..is it something to do with limewire??

I use DSL with 256k up and down.

I need some serious help or else I wont be able to use Limewire no more.

On my ISP Page they say this:

*Monthly Charge includes the following:

• Unlimited Internet access (3 Gb per month transfer)
• Free software including Web browser
• 5 E-mail boxes (additional mail boxes available)
• 10 mb storage space for personal web hosting
• Usenet News – Access to thousands of news groups
• Free technical support
• Additional $5 per month per 500 mbs of transfer

But how do I know if I go over 500mbs of transfer or 3gb per month transer and what do those things mean?

Interesting that Unlimited is actually defined as 3Gb !!!
Puts a whole new meaning on language, huh ?

Now, what's some creep, like what me is, supposed to do with an ISP like what they is ???
With an average 1Gb in only Uploads every day, these *******s would own me before the end of the first week !!!

Adirondack... I sure do hope they send someone around to kiss you whenever you pay the bill...
I mean, it's only polite to give a little kiss before screwing someone, huh ?

3 GB (typo?)--my ISP is saying 30GB/ month, but they don't really call until 60-70GB/month. It's not yet written policy, but the issue of "unlimited" in the advertising was argued on Slashdot a few months back http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/01/29/2257259 and it seemed to say that the Terms of Service of most ISP's do allow for such unwritten changes. Looks like more and more ISP's will be trying this to curb bandwidth peaks. Since my ISP is a community organization I am willingly cooperating for now (they think they have the same problem with 'abusive' clients that gnutella does) and I hope we can develop a fair use policy. If I find out that individuals are being sacrificed as a token way to cater to corporate demands--especially spam--then that will be a very different story.

So--to self-regulate: I leave 1 machine on that runs 24/7 as an UP and shares just a few select files. That uses up about 600MB/day. Then I let my machine with the bulk of my shares run up close to 1 GB on the weekends or maybe for few hours per weekday. If I need to run up the total when beta-testing, I call the help desk and make sure they add a note to my file that my usage is going to be higher for a while. Then when they call I ask them to call up my file and read the note. I'll see if this works--so far it has, and they also are learning that gnutella is being used for legitimate reasons. We've got to convince the ISP's that our use is as valid if not better than the corporate pressures that want us to pay for their infrastructure and marketing pitches, or for PC's that are used for M$ viral promotion [note to self--stop this! repetitive rant--stop!]

But if the kids are busy--aargh! And my ISP just announced they've increased the speeds:--for the same cost (~CDN$ 30.00/month). I now get 5 MB/s downloads, and 1 MB/s up. I used up my daily allowance very quickly just testing--I'd never seen 600KB/s internet downloads before. LOL--Maybe I'll have to ask for one of the older cablemodems that they don't log!
