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.

What's wrong with you dude? Did your parents fail to beat you frequently enough when you were a child? And btw. according to Oxford's Dictonary Of Current English it spells 'instigator', the word 'instegator' is not defined and therefore has no meaning at all.

Now now everyone.

instegator:

Fine then, let us speak of your problem. What is it about limewire that you so despise? I used LW on OS 9.2.2 for a very long time and I was very pleased with it. How is your situation different?

No Blackbird I do not hate limewire at all. Not even as half as bad as you might think. All I meant by my post was that when you get only about 15% of a download, Awaiting Sources pops up. and I was only pointing out that particular problem. There was absolutely no need for peerless or whatever a peerless is to come on here and put his 1cent in and say," With a nick like instegator what do you expect". I hadn't done anything to him and all I got was namecalling and some other fellow had to get on here and throw his voice in the wind and start his version of stupidity. I admit I stooped to his level on the last post but im not argueing with them any further

PS. (Blackbird)I was wrong about the Kazaa compatibility with mac, and I appreciate you being polite about it

btw, I asked one of my kids what they use for p2p on OSX, and the reply was "poisoned" Huh? Finally found a link (http://gottsilla.net/software.php?site=poisoned) and looks like it's source code is available too. I'm not sure of the differences between giFT/morpheus/KAzaa.

Glad to see you are trying to be more polite instegator. Your first post does seem more like a rant and thus is open to flames. It can be a fun way to get beyond 'yo momma' stuff.

When LW connects to more networks, (Acq's has taken/pirated LW code and also searches morpheus (Kazaa) servers), maybe the leeching of gnutella by the other networks can be turned into p2p sharing.

When I posted my first post, I stated that I might be a little harsh but that I had to speak my mind. I did not directly say anything about anyone. If you will read on, you will see all the name calling and the unnecessary criticizing of my spelling. If peerless worked for LW then I might be able to understand why he jumped on to me but he said he has nothing to do with LW so therefore his statement about my nickname was uncalled for. He also done the same to brainiack. If you go to Sears tomorrow and buy something that didn't work , you took it back and told them that it was no good, Should the salesman criticize you and tell you that you essentially don't have the right to complain and start calling you names. If my point can't be seen then I have nothing more to say. Just remember, some of their post to me werent all that polite either just read them

Well, thank you. I guess I should be more grateful, but I'm not more civilized. Who am I talking to and how do you connect to gnutella?

I'm guessing you are a new user on a Mac PPC using OS 8.6 or 9.1.1 with LW Pro 3.4.5 and a modem or cable, not much RAM, and sharing a few files. My specs are much like blackbird's, but he's probably sharing more files.

You may not have intended to directly insult peerless, trap_jaw and others who freely give of their time and skill helping the LW project (and justifiaby get irritated with emotional problems). Software can't be insulted, but the people who help it develop can. Volunteers rightly expect more respect than Sear's salesmen, which isn't fair either.

If your question is really "why do so many of my downloads get interrupted?", please make it more direct and offer more details.

btw--did you mean to insult me too when you told me to read the posts? If so, don't worry--I understand.

Cheers

No, there was no insult even thought of. I was merely just wondering why a couple people thought I was out of line when I was the one who first received an uncalled for name.
You explain yourself very good and have a good point. You make a lot of sense. But I still have to say on the other hand, that even though peerless may contribute alot to the forum, there is still no need to insult people you dont even know, especially when a post may not even be directed to them personally. Remember we all hear "not so good things" about something or someone at some point in their life. I hear complaints all the time about some of the things I like and support but I dont always strike back.If he doesn't understand that then mabe he will never. I just ask he dont be so rude just because someone has a complaint. I bet he doesn't go through life without a complaint

Ah! You weren't the first to receive "an uncalled for name."

As I tied to say above, saying "the software isn't worth a ****" is taken as a direct insult to all involved with that software. No one "owns" gnutella--LW is a key leader in a large group project. Insult LW and you insult all involved. "Insult my software, insult me"

Hope that helps you understand why more than a couple of people thought you were out of line and enjoyed seeing you get what you unknowingly asked for (unless you are a troll just out to instigate trouble by hiding behind an unregistered nick as some do). If you have any more questions about your posting style, you can probably get lots more answers.

This is all off-topic anyway--these forums are a lousy way to get personal therapy.

Did you want to introduce yourself and your specs and get back to the original problem?

Cheers
