Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

The Big Picture Topbanana: I'm glad that you understand this. I believe that many others do as well. It is unfortuntate that some people believe incorrectly of course, that I am some how anti-P2P because I am anti-piracy. This usually reflects the ignorance of the person attempting to blast me for my efforts. There are two ways to approach this situation one is within the system and the other is outside of the system. If you work within the system you can accomplish a lot without the legal hassle. Many of the problems facing the P2P community and ISPs can be resolved in simple ways. In fact the solution is in place now and has been for many years but as usual the problem is the people. They won't follow the rules when given the opportunity to do so but complain when forced to comply either through court action or greater ISP restrictions. They create the very situation they want to avoid which is more monitoring, more restrictions etc. Some people have difficulty understanding this concept. You can only patch a problem for so long at some point you have go to the root of the problem thus the lawsuits against individual users. The ISP should NOT be responsible for monitoring peoples activities. The P2P providers should not be in the business of restricting the functionality of P2P applications. The responsibility rests solely with the end users. People totally overlook the fact that ANYONE can become a member of ANY P2P community so you never know who you are getting your files from and who is getting files from you. Therefore, technologies the claim to protect your identity are all bogus because they give people a false sense of security because they are constructed to address one of the many ways piracy investigations can be conducted. But again, people always over look the obvious. Anyone could build a super secure P2P application. All that work goes to waste the moment any / everyone can use it. I wish that those that complain the loudest could understand this. But that remains my hope.

Lee and TB--thanks again for your major contributions to the protection of gnutella. Like the magnetmix effort, the US courts like to see significant non-infringing content on gnutella, right? I can't find the link, but I recall 10-20% . Don't both of you upload gigs of non-infringing material daily FWIW, my ISP has been very cooperative helping me get gnutella connectivity to distribute my original non-infringing content, but are reluctant to give up their usual kazaa controls. I also share what I can of your collections TB (they are far better prepared than my pics). Keep on educating. RIAA FUD can't trump legitimate use. |

DIARRHEA Lee [HOCKKKKKKKK >>>>> >> Phtewwwooey!] This board is obviously meant for a different audience (people like Lee, the RIAA, MPAA, lawyers, et al.) I would post links to some cool sites on this topic but I'm afraid that danged Lee would visit & infect those boards as well. Like that bedbug case where those people are sueing the Ocean City Hotel because bedbugs hitched a ride back to their house and they ended up having to destroy $20,000 worth in bedding, furniture, & clothing. Who knows what damage Lee can do with all his funding and idle time. Entire boards could be lost. LOL! Lee, you remind me of the guy in the diner that sits at the bar, orders a bottomless cup of coffee (and nothing else) and talks non-stop for hours and hours to the waitresses and anybody else that is unfortunate enough to be within earshot. Meanwhile the waitresses and other customers are polite and just try to get away from the guy but what they really want to say is, "SHUT THE HELL UP!" Lee, you're like that guy but instead of sitting at a bar your sitting on this board and the truth is your posts are like diarrhea - excessive, frequent, flatulent, and filled with watery feces. Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it! |

Don't feed the trolls When you are too ignorant to offer anything of value to a conversation make yourself feel better by removing any doubt of ignorance. We can always count on certain people to do this i.e. they don't read and if they do, they have problems with comprehension which leads to flawed thinking and worse idiotic comments which reflect the fact that not only are they ignorant but they don't even know it. slink = troll [Remember children don't feed the trolls]

plop plop, phiz phiz.... Are you trying to say my post didn't add value? Huh... I put a lot of thought & effort into that. At least 10 minutes. And don't you have any life at all? I post and you reply immediately. Are you surgically connected to the computer? I bet you are. Probably connected thru your butt. That would explain your diarreah posts. Oh when oh when will the diarreah end??? |

Good news, Slink. The Gnutella forum moderators have agreed to enable the "T2T" option in the vBulletin software used here. This will connect the forum to hundreds of other similar sites, allowing us to freely exchange trolls using the servers spare capacity. Admittedly we're a bit light on good quality shareable material right now, but perhaps in time we'll manage to trade you for something worthwhile. |

This thread has been remarkable for the generally cool and balanced 'behaviour'* maintained while discussing subjects that normally bring out the impassioned worst of people. Very refreshing and appreciated ! I am surprised that no one has mentioned this from Janis Ian... http://www.janisian.com/article-internet_debacle.html ... which should be read in its entirety along with the follow-up article 'Fallout'. (Perhaps it is now considered 'old', but that would be an error.) Another, and far more devastating threat to all of us, is exposed here !!! As for the dear slink device, the posts have value in one regard... They encourage me to quote a great moderator on another forum... Kindly refrain from abusive language in the conferences, and to borrow from an old saying, from this point on it's probably better for you to shut up now and appear stupid rather than keep posting and remove all doubt. c u *Except for Peerless, of course !
