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.

Question How do you know if you are a "leaf" or an "ultrapeer"?

I have looked throught the posts on the Ultrapeer and haven't seen anything that addresses this. Granted it was not an exhaustive search and nobody said I was smarter than a bag of hammers. I have been using LW v1.7 with no problems. I have just upgraded to LM v2.0.4. I understand what an ultrapeer is but how do I know if I am am an ultrapeer or a leaf (I have an ADSL). Also on v1.7 I could see how many users, files and total Bytes that were available.. All I show now is the number of files I am sharing and the banner ad (btw: I don't mind the ad). I am currently connected to 8 hosts on the ultrapeer protocol and I have [client] next to "Keep approximately _ connections up". As with others, I have also noticed that I do not get the same amount of returns on searches as I did with v1.7.

Any insight would be appreciated.

1. Activate the Connections screen by opening the View pull-down menu, then re-enabling Connections.

2. In the Connections screen you will see your Gnutella "role" listed in the lower left corner; this normally says [Leaf]. Do not confuse this with the connection-type listed for the external hosts you're communicating with. Normally, you'll only see one connection listed and it'll be labeled Ultrapeer.

If you have a faster-than-modem connection and you stay on-line for more than a day or two, you'll switch from Leaf-mode to Ultrapeer-mode and your Connections screen will fill-up with other Ultrapeers and 0.4-type hosts plus up to 50 Leafs (who are subordinate to you).

FYI - I think there's a bug that prevents you from properly disabling Leaf/Ultrapeer mode.

You cant disable Leaf/Ultrapeer mode. Chris has already made it clear there are only two modes, Leaf or Ultrapeer.

Mine does not have leaf anywhere on the connections page. The only thing it has is [client]. I'll try running it for several days to see what happens.

Default Client = Leaf ?

Are you sure? I would have thought that [Client] mode meant you were acting as a traditional 0.4 Gnutella servent. I've been an Ultrapeer so long I don't remember, but I thought the new Limewire started out saying [Leaf]. If you select the option for "Disable Ultrapeer", then I thought you would always be in [Client] mode but that there was a bug that prevented you from connecting to more than one other host, i.e. you'd still act like a leaf.

Anyway, there's a new version that changes a lot of the Ultrapeer/Leaf "tuning" so it's going to be moot soon.

No. Its never said Leaf for me and I've been connected to an Ultrapeer for 5 days straight, well back when 1.9 was released. How many times do I have to say the versionf 1.9+ of LimeWire only have a Leaf and Ultrapeer mode! If you're not an Ultrapeer, you're a Leaf. There is no "Normal" (as with >1.9) mode. The "Disable Ultrapeer" option is to disable you from becoming an Ultrapeer if you decided to do so. That wasnt the bug, the problem was the connectivity between Ultrapeers and other Ultrapeers. Now 2.1.0 has resolved that problem. You maintain multiple Ultrapeers so if one dropped you're able to recover more quickly and still have a pretty good horizon. There were also some things fixed about the TTL and so forth.
