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.

Lightbulb Bad files from T3 Hosts

Quite often, when searching for a file, a host of bad files will show up, mainly from T3 hosts. They tend to have the same file name as the file you are looking for, but the wrong content, i.e. that annoying iPod photo.

As far as I know there is no solution as yet, so i suggest a series of tick boxes in the 'More Search Options' area, allowing you to choose which speeds to allow in your search.

Your comments on this problem/solution would be much appreciated.

I agree but that is not the only problem. I just downloaded porn with out knowing that it was porn because, it had the same name as the file that wanted! I don't care see porn on my computer because I have kids that always like to watch what I am doing. And after I scanned it I unzipped it and I was shocked to see, "girls swallowing dogs C#@. " Gross!!

And would you agree that most of these files are from T3 hosts? Or is that an unjustified assumption?

The fake free ipod! I had that

I saw this post and hadn't noticed speed before. However I had used the "browse host" function for someone (69.113.125.235.6346), who (so thoughtfully) included W32.Alcra.A . From the symantec site: this is a worm that spreads through file-sharing networks, such as Kazaa, Ares, eMule, Morpheus, Grokster, Bearshare, Limewire eDonkey2000, Gnucleus, Shareaza, and Rapigator. The worm also drops a W32.Spybot.Worm variant into the compromised computer.The dropped W32.Spybot.Worm variant opens a back door that allows a remote attacker to have unauthorized access to the compromised computer.

It was caught in by norton, before damage was done, but its the thought that counts.

I had screen captured the "browse" results, and noticed that yes, the speed was listed as "T3 or higher" It seems to be a pattern?

But, as far as adding another tick box to be able to screen out T3; couldn't you just do that by looking at the "Speed" column, & refuse to choose any which listed T3?

Sometimes LimeWire only shows a certain amount of results, not often more than about 300, so when you get 300 bad files (happens often, believe me!) you won't get what you looking for.

Oh, and it's not just the iPod thing, happens with some songs too. Not that I download music illegally, as this is illegal.

We definitely need some kind of spam filter.

That is not just to someone like me. I have a T3 connection 1000mb\s . I have full copies of over 4000 songs. I am not a spammer, but I like to contribute. Try checking the file size before you download. I hav found that all the fake ipods and stuff carry the same amount of information.

limewireisthebest, you say it isn't fair on you, but I personally would be willing to lose one or two good sources, due to the problem I outlined in my last reply. thanks for that website ultracross, shall give it some thought. Also, not all the files are the same size, some dodgy videos range from 100k-20M!
