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.

Smile let's be constructive - development wish-list

other discussion areas have a wish-list thread. think we should get one going here also. this really might help vinnie to get ideas for further developments (instead of wasting all his time with discussions).

i will start:

- result searching
a search the results option. field to enter words which instantly are used to filter the search results.

- QoS filtering
possibility to include QoS as search criteria (maybe post search). measuring available bandwith and showing if there are slots available would be good. maybe the latter could be implemented as a per-file function.

- Peer requirements
possibility to set requirements on other peers. for example so that the client doesn't keep connections with hosts having a ping > 1000, sharing less than 2 gigs, having less than 10 connections to other hosts - whatever seems sensible from the technical viewpoint also. if number of connections etc. is auto-set depending on the own connection speed, this would be an automatic determination of host/client like networks.

- download-splitting
i can't say whether the protocol allows this. but splitted downloads running simultaneously on different hosts would be greatest thing i could think of. well, if i get download rates of >1mbps i don't care about this feature, but unfortunately the usual download rate of 50kbps would be enough if spread to 10 connections. but this would include determining identical files (upon filesize and parts of the name - difficult i think).

well, guess that would improve the experience a lot already. i am sure i missed a lot of things - so let us hear them. and let's hope p2p will have a long life

Default ...more wishes

I think it's a good idea to keep a wishlist running.

I support the wish of Peer requirements very much. Up to now I've always checked my peers from time to time and kicked the ones with no or just few files. This enhances my probability to find my files.

I'd also like to have a new version of bearshare that doesn't pass along filenames longer than a certain number of characters. Like this we could avoid that every useless file has an addition like "illegalpornsexbritneypreteendivxwarezwhorecumbitc hanaldumbmoney****" just in order to generate more hits. This could enhance the quality of search results a lot!

For search results there should be the option not to display files which contain a certain word f.e. "zeppelin -led"

Bye,

oppossum

Default Saving Settings

Saving column settings is definitely at the top of my wishlist. But ... with the release of version 2.2.6 it's getting closer to a reality since this version will now save window positition and sizes. WooHoo!!!

How about a split uploading system where we could control the number of large files AND the number small files uploading. A slider control could be introduced allowing us to differentiate between large and small files. I have many smaller files that would upload quickly if I didn't have six people uploading 50+ mb files all at the same time. This could help gnutella a lot, especially dial-up users who look for smaller files.

How about auto researching. <b>Phex</b> uses that and I was able to download a lot more files because of it.
