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. |

 I know what you will say but i have to ask  Hello people, I know that somewhere on the forum this will have been asked already but here goes anyway.I have limewire pro and have finally got it set up as I want, I share my files and let others have what I have but I am not happy, I don’t know weather it is just me but I find most of the people who have files from me never seem to have anything to share, is this a problem with my set up or is it just freeloaders. I have my limewire set up not to allow freeloaders but IM not 100% sure that this does anything as I seem to still get loads. Also if anyone can help, is there a certain way in which files can be found? When searching for various films I seem to find most are in a foreign language or from a cinema is there anyway of filtering this out, I also do not seem to be able to find that many sources for films and music so I don’t know what IM doing wrong. Yes I do try various ways of searching before anyone asks I try artist album and all that. I would appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Many thanks in advance. The world would be a better place if people shared.   |

 If you're trying to browse host & it's saying 'unable to browse host', that does not mean the person's a freeloader. Browse host is pretty unreliable  Having chat enabled seems to make it work a little better.There's some info here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ht=browse+host For your searching, try using the All Types category, rather than just Audio or Video. This can give you quite different results. For example if you're searching for a movie, search for title - format eg movie - avi or just movie avi When your search results come up, you can check the file with Bitzi. Right click on the file > advanced > look up file with Bitzi. If a movie's been rated, you can find out whether it's a good/crappy version & other little bits of info. Songs don't tend to be rated very often. Don't forget to search at different times of day. Hosts in other time zones are logging on/off all the time  You're right, this has been asked before! The search button is top right, next to quick links. It lets you search through all previous threads. |

| Hey Birdy, "Songs don't tend to be rated very often" Have you ever tryed to rate a file on bitzi,music that is, "Try again in 10 sec,s" Yea!, I do it, Don't ask me why. After the 40th time of trying I give up. We do want to rate songs but its dam near imposable to do so. Give the Program a bit more Server space so it works Then you will see people use it. Whats your thoughts --Peace

| mickjapa108, I wasn't criticising... just saying that not many songs get rated I've rated songs on Bitzi, the only problem I've ever had is that Bitcollider's a bit slow to open a browser page sometimes. Don't worry - nobody's going to go off at you for not rating songs |

 ). At least that's what I've read here in the forum so far. However, I'll closely follow up the responses to your suggestion. |

Perhaps you did not read the link left by birdy inside that link there is another link in the post by crawler.Browse host does not work very good. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ht=browse+host read the thread fully. You can not turn off Browse host in LimeWire it is always on. It just does not work very good. Hell I can set at one of my computers and try and browse one of the others sometimes I can sometimes I can't. So using your suggestion I would be blocking myself. Between the 3 computers I have running right now I am sharing 240GB a little over 2800 files. So if there was a feature like you suggested you would probably be reducing the available number of files  why would you want to do that.Solution: Learn to write code and fix the Browse feature
