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.

Why block Morpheus, there are other ways to find a smarter solutions for this problems. The problem is in how Gnucleus decides to become an Ultrapeer, I'll add a message I posted in another forum:

Quote:
There is still a problem in the way Morpheus decides to become an Ultrapeer. I think if most clients send the header X-Ultrapeer-needed: false (something like that) to Morpheus, then it will understand it, and would not become an Ultrapeer. Thus reducing the amount of Morpheus UPs.

Morpheus Ultrapeers might also be confused of getting a lot of disconnections and reconnections, because many people are disconecting from them, that might turn them to think that there's actually a need for more ultrapeers.

In this text, when I talk about Morpehus is about the program it self, not it's users.
Quote:
I was reading the latest Gnucleus source, and the problem seems to be more on the number of leaf that it can have. Because it's deafult is to 400, then it will think it is more powerful than most of the other Ultrapeers. So a better way to get Morpheus ultrapeers to downgrade is if most clients can send Morpheus a header that the other client can host more than 300 leafs, so that morpheus thinks it is less powerful.
So a better solution would be to help reduce the amount of Morpheus Ultrapeer than blocking them.

Hey, I got an idea. Let's make this a toggleable choice. I really don't want to wait for people to figure this out because working it out with morpheus will take a long time and a heck of a lot of troubleshooting. Let's just give users the choice to only connect to limewire clients if they want and let that be that. When morpheus and limewire finally come to terms (in a software sense), then the feature can be removed. This is just going to drive everyone nuts and ruin the system until someone finds a quick fix now.

Also remember that quick fixes don't have to be permanent.

Default Fighting fire with fire...

Am I the only person that sees that phrase as being completely ridiculous? After all, if one does fight fire with fire, you get a bigger fire...causing more problems.

Still, it seems to be the most popular suggestion on here..."block Morpheus clients" is the popular suggestion, and admittedly, the most convenient solution.

Gnutella is a network that was created on the idea of sharing without limitation...if LimeWire (which I think everyone will agree seems to be the most efficient and well programmed client for the network currently) starts blocking Morpheus, what's next? I get BearShare clients sometimes as well...block them? Anyway, you see where it's heading. I've got a slightly different idea...

Howzabout the developers for LimeWire and the developers for Morpheus try to come to some agreement? After all, they really are the two super-powers in the world of Gnutella.

I have a slightly different reason for suggesting this...I run primarily on a Macintosh platform. If I start looking for Macintosh files when there are only Morpheus (an up until now Windows exclusive program...another thing they could learn from the folks at LW) servers up, how many Macintosh files do you think there are going to be listed? ZERO! Goose egg! Because Windows users think that Macintosh users (this is a really broad generalization, I know, but when 99% of encounters support the theory, you begin to accept it as fact) are totally retarded and useless. But we make stuff pretty (Mac users are predominantly artists).

Now, if Morpheus opened itself up to the Mac platform...that might change things. However, I have a feeling that unless someone attepmts to persuade them to do so, they won't even know that there's this whole other platform out there being used by a good 297 million users that, at present, aren't earning them any money.

Of course, that's one solution, and an extreme one at that. Here's another...does anyone think that the people at Morpheus might be persuaded to change their policies for their clients? Say, to enable the freeloader policy? Again, Gnutella is intended for sharing, not taking. In that sense, freeloaders SHOULD be prevented from accessing other users' files.

Professional collaberation and courtesy...and perhaps it's a dumb idea.
