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.

you've been warned....

1: you should have replied to the original thread

2: gnutella users also have the 'First Amendment' right to legally express their views as is reflected in what is in there shares (which you seem to have a hypocritical problem with)

the only way for the network to be legal is to exist without controls, yet you suggest implementing said controls, which means you advocate the dissolution of the network...

I feel for you as far as your reaction to what you experienced, but that is about all...and even then my compassion is very limited as afaic legal types of porn are not an issue, and in fact people like you who hate any type of porn are an issue...you are the minority, and your offense indicates a very repressed childhood...your views are of course your right, but that does not give you the right to beat a dead horse on a privately hosted forum...

I believe this is an open forum for discussing anything. If you had read and understood my original thread, I was venting. As I said, I had no way of knowing, and still don't, what is and isn't explicit material. I stay away from anything that even remotely seems out of place.
I know you were venting and I had no problem with that. I purposely ignored your thread for that very reason. I think you are mistaken the moderators here for kids. I can tell you that you are wrong, and most if not all of them are adults. I have moderated before doing it here. Unlike what you might think, I am probably older than you.

They should not be critical, harsh, blaming, or cynical. I appreciate the time and energy it takes to volunteer in any venue. I have also done volunteer work and found it most rewarding. Regardless, I will not have it inferred that I am stupid or lazy. I have been working with computers for the past 15 years and most problems I solve myself. One, because it helps me understand the inner workings of my computer and programs, and two, it gives me a great sense of accomplishment to fix things on my own.
But you are lazy, not taking the time to see that what Remoc said was entirely true, instead you attacked him. As a moderator I am responsible for making sure personal attacks do not escalate, something I saw happening there.

When you attack a moderator, there are consequences. Something that happened in your previous thread, where BTW you didn't even get an official warning. You were told to behave civilized or there would be consequences, and now you continue to do so. If you weren't ready to let it go, then you could have had sent me a PM or if you had a complaint about your treatment, you could have reported it.

I didn't ask for this nor was there any way to know what I was downloading. This was a .jpeg file and seemed harmeless enough. Nor am I naive. I was the unknowning recipient of offensive material. Rather than threaten me to ban me from the Gnutella site, we should be working to find a solution to stop the proliferation on the internet of pornography in any form in any program. If you have an answer to that it would be most helpful.
Distributing pornography isn't illegal. While some people don't like it, they have a choice to not see it. A choice you chose to ignore by using the Gnutella network to download random photographs instead of using a proper venue for this e.g. Google image search with content filter turned on.

Newsflash. The First Amendment right does not apply to a privately owned forum, although if you had been civilized in your opinions and views, there would have been no problem at all. Moderators are put in place to ensure that this forum does not break any laws and rules, and also to make sure that discussions are kept civilized. In my time as moderator here I have used that power twice to warn people that were taking things too far and never banned anyone.

Well since you can't behave in a civilized manner when you encounter some problem, then good riddance.

Did you really feel the need to register just to bump this thread.

Well, at least your post was constructive[/sarcasm]

Sorry about that, I didn't sign up just for that, I found a post subject that covered my original problem without the need to ask it. In the process of searching for it, I ran across this and read it and was just blown away by how much this person was whining and portraying their "I feel so violated" attitude. I could just imagine the amount of stupid BS you guys have elected to deal with on a daily basis such as that. Just wanted to say, "Hats off to you for it!"
