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.

To get some real hard evidence they have to prove that I do really share files...
_____________________

You don't have to prove that sharing has taken place, only that you arranged things so that such a transfer can take place at the user's will. The fact that your machine pops up when they do a search on titles, alone, says you're sharing those files.

And therein lies the problem. If people don't share, the network doesn't work. If they do, and doing so it's against the law of the country in which they reside they're vulnerable. The solution should be obvious. Since at the moment they're looking only for large scale operations, don't keep thousands of titles in your shared folders.

Personally, I don't know why the government, and the industries, haven't set up thousands of machines all busily offering buggered copies of any file a downloader might want. Since most PC owners haven't the faintest idea of how to delete files these realistic do-nothings would multiply and mask the real copies by sheer volume. Couple that with the vast majority of users who take files but share nothing, and things could come to a grinding halt.

In fact, it may be happening. I've seen evidence of it lately both in film and music.

Jay

Default RIAA ip range

Who's to say they're gonna look from the IP's peerguardian thinks they are?
I think we all have to stay strong and keep sharing and not be afraid of the big bad wolf if we're to stand a chance influencing some real change in the industry.

I'd just like to say, I like that feature and I think it's cool. With the issue of privacy, give me a break, all they know is the IP address, and those darn Bureaucracies can do whatever they want to crack down on people, they have the expertise to do so without using some neat feature that's added in LimeWire....Thank You very much

The RIAA can fall death!

I dont know much about them... But as i have read now... They are people that hates other people sharing music...

Well... If i made a album, with some very good songs ( So i will get in top 10 )... And no-one may download/share my songs... Then ill get in a short time over 1 million euro... And so will others... And is it so hard to make one album? NO! Let people share... Maybe ill get 10.000 euro then... And ill get fans... I go play live... and then i will get more money... and that is how it must be!

Here in europe, we are all like 'We must help the poor people'... But if we all have to buy albums instead of sharing... Then get the artists/bands richs, and the others poor!


I also read that they go after people that have more than 1000 euro on files... But how can u say the worth of the files... if i have 56kb/s music files... well they are not as good as 192kb/s files. Well i havent any 56kb/s files, so i dont know if the quility is so worse than the 192kb/s... but i think u know what i mean...


// Im here more against the RIAA than agree with the 'option to completely disable the Browse Host function'...


Look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA#Ef...t_File_Sharing

I also see that they are in America... Well if they ever get control... Come to Europe

And read the german laws, which aren't much better for you.

Much better than not sharing and disabling browse host is to shre free material, because that really hurts the RIAA by strengthening their competition.

I have gathered some free material in the Phex wiki:

http://wiki.phex.org/Free_and_Legal_Content

But it would be nice if it would be possible to only show selected material in the browse host

Thumbs down browse host

i voted no to blocking host browsing because half of what has appeared on the website lately is full of viruses. as for the industry trying to charge inderviduals for uploading to the website these big money people should push off and leave us alone,why should we pay through the nose for there goods especially as they only cost upto a pound to make but charge an arm and a leg to buy,they are really being greedy. if they do not want us to upload/download there software then they should make there goods cheaper to buy. also i believe if you download something and you like it you are more likely to go and buy it in the long term.
