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. |

 WARNING: If you use PeerGuardian! READ THIS! (Security) The official PeerGuardian website (methlabs.org) and their companion update site (blocklist.org), has now been hijacked (stolen) by a member of its own group. PeerGuardian is an application that blocks a range of IP addresses that are known to be hostile towards p2p or privacy in general, from connecting to your computer. It is well maintained by a group of dedicated developers that strive to further secure your system from these prying eyes. Quote from FAQ: "What all was compromised? The domains methlabs.org and blocklist.org, the servers which hosted them, and a large amount of donation money which was given by happy users to keep our servers online and fast." What can YOU do? You should NOT trust the posts or content at methlabs.org. Read More here: http://slyck.com/news.php?story=913 You should now get future updates from there sourceforge website here: http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net/ Secure your updates of peerguardian to make your copy safe HERE (click) http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net/secure.html More Reading: 1) http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net/index2.html 2) http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net/faq.html Need Realtime Help? Check out their IRC channel here: irc://irc.freenode.net/methlabs (you will need an IRC client like mIRC available here) Various Excerpts and Resources: "The majority of the Methlabs.org administration and development team have been forced out of their website following a series of threats and incidents. The member of the group that had been trusted to handle the finances and servers slowly managed to take over each individual part of the website's assets, eventually claiming control over the entire group and locking out the majority of staff." -peerguardian.sourceforge.net "UPDATE: William Erwin, now confirmed as the hijacker, has posted news on Methlabs.org, claiming the hijacking news is false and stems from a revolt by former team members. However, after speaking to the Methlabs team and various connected members of the community, P2Pnet, SuprNova and Slyck can all confirm that the original story that the domain has been hijacked is genuine. PeerGuardian users are advised to stop using the Methlabs.org and Blocklist.org hosted blocklists in favor of the Bluetack list." -slyck.com http://suprnova.org/?op=showLong&aID=27 http://p2pnet.net/story/6275 EDIT: Negotiations are currently underway between the developers and hijackers. From what I have been told, the hijackers are holding the websites for ransom of "$500". I dont want to start rumors, but this is only what i heard from a few developers in their IRC channel.

| Peer Guardian causing my computer to crash When I went into Peer Guardian to uncheck the lists, the first time I did it I received a message that it caused a security error or something like that. The next time I did it, I got a message that this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. I have Peer Guardian 2. I couldn't find the part where it says to uncheck Peer Guardian and I don't know how to configure it. I just went in to my systray to right click Peer Guardian and it disappeared from the tray. Should I uninstall it, get Peer Guardian Lite, or what? I tried to subscribe to the Peer Guardian Announce and just now I got the mail back as undeliverable. It was the confirmation they wanted from me when I subscribed to Announce. What to do? |

| well if you are having trouble changing the update block list servers, i would just shutdown peerguardian untill this has been all sorted out. (make sure to disable peerguardian updates aswell as disable startup with windows.) reason: there are different versions of the software that can be configured differently and i dont really have enough time right now to give instructions on how to change them. maybe LOTR or someone might come along and help. the instructions posted are for the latest version of the PG software. |

| When I changed the sources it said all list were not able to update. But it did not say which list didn't update. Everything else went fine

| I had to uninstall PG I sent PG another email, this one was exactly the way PG said to do it as I had left my sig in the first one. I heard another Thunderbird alert of incoming messages and I knew it had to be another "undeliverable" message. As soon as I tried to go into TB to get the mail, my computer froze up again and I had to do a cold boot. I did a virus scan as soon as the computer came back up and that was ok. I went and uninstalled PG. When I went in the first time before the emails, I didn't right-click the icon. I guess that's why I couldn't change the settings. I had unchecked the blocklist.org list when I first read about this earlier this afternoon before all this happened. Can I get another version, or are all of them to risky right now? It just seemed the only thing to do with the PG, uninstall that is, because I could not do anything with it anyway. Oh, and were the instructions for the Beta because I had the PG2 for Windows 98?  I guess it doesn't matter now, but like I asked, is there another version or even another program similar? |

| I think disabling updates keeps PG2 from updating the program itself...probably a good thing I had no problems with following the procedure and getting it to work properly...I did have to restart it though to get it correctly working |
