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.

As i said before, the blockchecker, checks the filename, and not the comment...

Im looking much for videos. Avatar, DBZ/DBGT.
For avatar, i search 'Avatar Book', cuz in any file name it says 'Avatar Book 1 Chapter 1' or something, so thats alright

But with 'DBGT'... Well just try... u get very small files, all files i dont want!

And typing 'Dragonball GT' also dont work... Well it do work, but then u do get the English version of GT, and i dont like the background-sound on english version...

Now... i was searching for 'The Awakening Story'... music... well what do u think it shows up? The Roling Stones and more of those things... And i dont want The Roling Stones, they dont even have a song called to 'The Awakening Story'... It is of Faye Wong...

Then i searched ''The Awakening Story' 'Faye'', watch good, i do ' around the words by searching... I have get 20 of the 1346 files found, of Faye Wong! The other things are with Not Related To....



For the next version of Limewire, they must make something, that it checks the comment of the files....

No wonder these results don't show in my searches

There is a list of words and extensions to block in the thread you pointed to
Sleepless, I don't use the filter, I never have...I've done enough research to know what's fake and what's not...I was just showing an example of what these guys where seeing...

If u ask me, limewire must be better...

They already do split things...
Filesize, and filename, filetype

But filename must be 'title' and 'artist', those 2 in a own column
Like by kazaa
This way they are be able to search on artist i think...

And i think, after this, that spam go away too...

Well, just think about it... Now in the spam files, it says 'Not Related To: (the search term)'... But that is comment...
If u can do like by kazaa, a box, and u choose to Artist, u search for 'Final Fantasy', then he will only check the files on artist, if there is Final Fantasy in it, then it shows up...

If i could program with exe files, i did make it myself... but i cant... i can only php, html, mysql... but thats alot differents i think...


I also think, that they use something like %s or something in the comment by the files..., and that %s will change into the searchterm... But the makers of limewire must block that... or do something about that... Im not sure about this, but i think that they do it that way... By Printer, u have something that it says Page 1 of the 2, and if u go to settings u also see something like that...
'Page %p of %ptot' or something
Well, I have see something before... So i think that the files with 'Not Related To', do the same... otherwise i dont get it... why should people make about 50.000 files with differents words after the Not Related To:

Default marking them as junk

I seem to have been fairly successful marking them as junk, but there doesn't seem to be an option to not display junk results, so the mark isn't really that helpful.

I use Limewire.

It would seem to me that this problem would have to be solved at the network level, to not allow these files to show up in search results at all.

The Hosts are Coming is flying high
Default

A good way to get rid of an undesirable file like this in the results is by going in the "Location" column on the right side of the search window (if enabled) and see who hosts it. Go to "Tools > Options > Filters > Hosts" and type in the IP (range)(s) you want to block. Sorry if I'm numerically dim--I've tried it before, and it's somehow effective.

Would that work even though most of these spam results are on multiple (usually 40-80) IPs?

Default Spam

Two things iv'e noticed re spam results, one as has been mentioned elsewhere, if you cant ' Browse' sources, they are often spam, second also a question, has anyone noticed that when the network is especially busy, i.e. saturday nights etc.. you get hardly any spam results in searches???? it does seem to be a function of how many genuine hosts are online !
