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.

Question Have you stopped other uesers browsing you ???

Hi m8's

I have been using limy for over a month, I think it is fantastic. The only thing which gets on my nerves, is when someone is uploading for my share file (thats what its about) I cannot browes them ? why ? do thry not have the share folder activated, or is it because of cross platforms ? if its because of user not sharing (delibratly) then I am afraid I have to terminate them. The point of file sharing is, one share there file(S) for everyone to obtain otherwise the corporates will win with the inflated prices.

Well thats not always the case, you may not be able to browse someone one minute and then the next you can....
So if you as you say Terminate someones connection because you cant browse them well in my opinion thats a bit slack, they could have hundreds of files being shared and if everyone had that attitude no-one would be able to get anything....
Just because you cant veiw them doesn't mean there freeloaders....

I am sorry that I coursed any missunderstanding on this subject wondering why, Unfortunatly my understanding the way the program works is completely (as you say) slack. i have been put straight on the workings of the program & to all who have viewed this post, i thought i was putting a view across, which others thought as well. I take back all that i said, but i only posted the view which i thought was the correct. I know now, (in a short few hours) I was COMPLETELY INCORRECT.

I appolgise to all.

I will also amend my signiture..

Don't worry bazk It is quite understandable you feel indignant about freeloaders or leeches who do not share. I feel the same. The fact is that it is almost impossible to tell who is a freeloader and who isn't. I find the only way to be sure is when some inconsiderate and greedy person has queued hundreds of unrelated files off me. If he was a sharer he'd know that that is not a way to make friends. He won't get much off me for sure.

Also as WW said .. The Browse Host feature does not always give correct results and cannot be relied on to give a true picture of a Hosts files. Firewalls, Network set ups routers available upload slots and many other factors all have a part in making what a host is sharing hard to determine.

If you search Freeloader in the search option above right you will find many threads on the subject which will answer any other questions you have on the subject

PS I do rather like your new sig

This statement is really a true one. I have two computers and I have frostwire on both of them. I downloaded a file on one of them and then did a search with the other computer. The file on the first computer came up. I tried to browse the other computer and SOMETIMES I could browse the files and SOMETIMES I could not..... So maybe it is wise not to terminate the download so fast.....
