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.

God, this is psycho psychic. I was thinking exactly the same thing today, because I wanted to inform the person dowloading a certain file from me that I was willing to hand around if he was going to finish downloading at that session, if you will. Big files can take a long time to transfer, you know

Sometimes you can chat with uploaders, right-click or command-click one of the lines in the Monitor window. There should be a chat option in the contextual menu that appears. In recent LimeWire versions however I had a hard time getting that contextual menu to show up.

I'm using the cvs version and chatting with uploaders works very well. - To allow chatting with each and every uploader you'd have to block all non-limewire clients from downloading from you - and that will certainly not be done.

Default A different view

I'd like the app to WORK--1. When I click outside the app, it crashes every time--no matter what you say--it STILL does. 2. For every other app I've ever seen, when you put something in quotes, it searches for the exact words--except for Limewire--it searches for something that contains one or more of the words. 3. The highly-praised new feature that does a future search for something follows the same twisted logic as #2, above. It downloads anything that con tains one or more of the words in quotes--when you are searching for a song title of, let's say" "the street where you live", it might download a song with the word "street", "live". "where" or "you" in it, etc. This is not very helpful. 4. Partially down-loaded files do not continue to download after the app is closed--about half the time.

So, I don't want anything fancy in your next upgrade, I'd just like the features you already have to work properly.

1. probably a problem with java, do you get any error messages?
2. Advanced searching is not supported by the gnutella protocol.
3. With meta-data search you can try to specify more clearly what you are looking for, so you receive less 'bad' results.
4. Well, LimeWire tries to continue incomplete downloads but it doesn't always work because the remote host serving the file might not be available or LimeWire crashed and the downloads.dat file was corrupted.

You're right, advanced searching (and, or, not, "") is no longer possible on the gnutella network since the introduction of QRP, which allows only the type of keyword search sudarat described (QRP is a great thing nevertheless).

However, the feature he requested is still possible. All LimeWire would have to do is to perform a regular or-search for the specified keywords first and refine that search later. That means, if one queried the network for "the street where you live", every search result that does not include this exact string would simply not be displayed. it's quite easy actually.

Personally i'd like it best if every search tab would contain a refinement box (like in gnucleus).

Default -- Refined Search/Filter tools --

I would really like to refine the search results... that is a search within the search results or better yet a filter that could be applied to search results allowing various patterns to be searched while retaining the original search results.

There are occasions where I am looking for a given song by a given artist... I have found that typos and outright misspelling cause results to be erratic... so if I know the song is by say, Jackson Browne, I do a 'net' search for Jackson Browne and the would be able to search/filter the results for the song or fragment of song.

Default Minor feature requests

1) Perhaps a button that allows LimeWire to scan your shared folders and refresh your list of shared files. I often see "File Not Found" messages in my upload list because I have a tendancy to rename blatant misspellings or misnomers. It also doesn't seem to refresh after file deletion. I'm not sure if there's a way to automatically detect file modifications, but at least the user could refresh manually.

2) An exit command from the file menu. Ideally, the user should have the choice either to shut down or minimize to system tray (in Windows) by the normal close button in the top right, and there should be a dedicated, immediate exit function available also. Just an aggravation to me. Maybe I haven't figured it out yet.

You can select your shutdown option from Tools/Options/Shutdown

Brandan, try clicking Refresh in the Library section after making changes. That should reload all the shared files.
