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.

Any spam filter I have ever seen has never worked as well as a little common since. Lets see what was the fact I just read O yes there are 250 viruses being written every month and a unknown number of spam files.

Now lets see I am no program writer but if I wanted to get my spyware or virus spread and I new that apps were using size filters. I think I would just make them the size of common files.

Lets think how I might do that, don't know if it would work but lets say I wrote a file that is 857.1 Kb in size and I wanted to make it bigger humph what if I just held down the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA not to hard to make a file any size you want is it.

As far as a network that doesn't have spam and viruses on it I haven't found it yet. In my opinion the only thing a file size filter is going to do is block out legitimate files thus leaving less usable files to share.

But who knows I could be wrong it wouldn't be the first time nor the last.

Well, after using the new Junk Filter for a while now I've only been able to come up with one conclusion... It's Junk! I would have been 1000 times happier with a file size filter. I'm always finding good files marked as junk that I didn't mark and files that are still displayed as good files that are the infamous virus files. It's not trainable. I've messed with dummy controls a lot and still does no good. I just find I have to mess with it even more. I think I'll just stick to older versions.
I have a theory as to why there's a junk filter vs. a file size filter. Though does anyone have any word from limewire officials as to why they refuse a simple feature?

I don't know what difference you think a older version is going to make they still have the same search results. The older versions have no filter. Just turn it off if you don't like it or use another app.

I saw it suggested by a FrostWire programmer last year some time (the one who designed the original junk filter), that once everybody on the gnutella network starts filtering files less than 1 MB (1,000 KB) then these sponsored companies who release these autogenerated spam will simply increase the size of their spam (which includes virii.) Sponsored companies? Google Overpeer as an example of one. I noticed the mp3 spam only showed up after the Grokster court case. And virii started to arrive in more sizes also.

However, having said that, I'm also pro a size filter. One that could define a range of sizes to search for. The more tools in our defence the better. Also would improve search techniques if a person has an idea of the size of the file they're seeking.

Ur right about that...
If there are 100 topics about the same thing, the makers of limewire will irritate about it... So they are going to fix that in a limewire function and so there are no topics needed anymore



But back to the points, yes its better, but why size filter? Why not a 'everything' filter... much better...

Default File size filter and junk filter

They already have the tool in place. Now they can make it work right. The junk filter.....
If they would just make it filter out the file size it would work. I've tried it repeatedly in several different ways. It comes down to, if it worked right, there wouldn't be so many virus files out there. I know, I know, limewire can't help what the gunetella guys do, but it is a big part of the problem. It was one of the most popular programs, and without the filter working right, it feeds the problem and also causes people to quit using it!

Limewire people. Bottom line is, if you don't allow file size filtering specifically, people will quit using your program and sales will fail!

Everyforum now talking about file sharing says the same thing. To many viruses and junk files on limewire. It is a simple feature, I don't understand the problem since there are soooooo many requests for the program.

It seem like it would be a simple thing to do. The filters now include:
- file extension
- words in the name
- maybe some other things.

But file size would cover a range of sizes .. a minimum size and max size.
Maybe it's too much processing for the hosts? Because each host has to handle many searches per second while he's using his computer to do other things.

But wait. The client could take the same results he gets now and filter according to file size, right?

But meanwhile you can order the results by the file size, so the biggest ones appear at the top.

Default file size and sorting

That's something else. Every single time I have to click on file size to get it to sort. You should be able to enable the default sort. Name, size, connection type etc.
