Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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.

Default Bearshare hides criticism of new.net and Savenow

http://bearshare.net/forum/

The above link takes you to a hidden section of bearshare forums. This part is not visible from the normal forum at bearshare.net

It's a special section for ad supported software.

Almost all the comments are negative, which may explain why this section is hidden away from public view.

Now that it IS hidden, of course there will be a "lack of posting".

And may I point out that DESPITE the hiding, ppl still manage to find it and post comments.

If it was visible, maybe lots more ppl would come foward with their negative comments.
How do you think a hidden forum will get any posts?

Of cos it's gonna have "lack of posting".

beckER, not beck.

Not that I have anything against bearshare, in any way. Or vinnie, or anyone else in freepeers. Of all gnutella servents, I've used bs the most.

It's just that I can't help noticing how much negativity bearshare raises among users in general.

And the consistently hostile approach that has been taken against ppl who comment against bearshare.

I just thought I'd even the field a little.

So very jolly.

If it's such a dead forum with such a "lack of posting", why not let the link remain? Why did you edit it out?

Surely, no harm is done if ppl see exactly how inactive the forum is, hmmm? Let them see the "lack of posting".

Of coss, some ppl will be little shocked at how complaints are dealt with at bearshare. But they will also see the "lack of posting" which caused it to be hidden.

But this should not be a worry. It's a dead forum, which has a "lack of posting".

Put the link back on beckER, show us the "lack of posting".

At yr service, beckER. To refresh yr memory the link is - http://bearshare.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=40

"Looking for things I shouldn't see"??? Like what?

What is there that I shouldn't see? Surely not some dead forums with a "lack of posting" is it?

Why should gnutella users not see exactly how some hidden forums suffer from "lack of postings"? Is it because the "lack of postings" are mainly negative?

Is that why you thought it prudent to edit the link which shows "lack of postings"? Were you trying to censor negative reviews of bearshare?

OOOps, did I say "negative reviews"? Please change that to "lack of postings".

See ya at - http://bearshare.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=40

Becker!

This is link belongs to bearshare, or not?

Because we have only one bearshare forum here, this is automatic the rant forum for bearshare too!

And I have never seen these forums before... funny because I was almost daily on bearshare.net since september...

And Becker I cannot understand that you have edited the link...

This is not bearshare.net here... if somebody post something that not belongs to bearshare or any other client move it to general Gnutella... but this thread belongs to bearshare... if Vinnie wants to hide something on bearshare.net we won´t...

And deleting a thread??? Hey Becker think twice about this... this is the abosolut last option... and only for illegal links or something else! But where is the fault here?

Remember my PM!

Morgwen

P.S.:

@ God

Feel free to post such links here!
