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 Please help, PHP programming needed for this forum

Can someone write a bit of PHP code to allow anonymous posters to post on this type of forum?
Some important information that helps Gnutella has been posted by anonymous posters, and this should continue.
Flaming is a problem on any forum but places like slashdot still allow anonymous posting.
The new idea is to simply "hide" a anonymous post, leaving only a small link that people can click on if they want to.
When you click on that link, it opens that message and presents three buttons, "it's a flame" "approve" "needs editing".
If enough DIFFERENT regular users approve the post, it's posted, otherwise it's rejected and removed.
Another feature you can add later is a selection in a users settings to always show the anon posts.

To do this, you may want to look over the code and developer forum at
http://www.vbulletin.com/download/
http://www.vbulletin.org/

Please help out!

That would be a good solution for the short term, but a simple program mod would allow all the users here to help control spam and flames and the mods could relax.

there is "Report this post to a moderator" (which only registerd users can click).
but hey... we should all avoid to visit websites where you get popups, blinking banners and forced to register. last is a sign for a strange policy and new visitors are not that much wanted.

You have to avoid a lot of websites then, what do you suggest how CycloCide should pay his bills? Will you pay them for him?

I am not sure but I think this has something to do with the vBulletin software!

New visitors are welcome, at least I welcome every user if registered or unregistered...

I think this is unfair, CycloCide offers here a free side he don´t ask for payment or something else, this side helps thousands of users... and you complain about some ads - download a pop up stopper...

And registration is really no big deal, what do you loose?

You should know that the mods of this sides here don´t get money for this and if the users are registered its much easier for us to overview the actions of the users and we recodnize the bad guys very fast... if you have better solutions I am all ear...

I will

Why not try a donation system instead of banners?

IMO, unless Cyclocide is on some type on impression system, it doesn't seem like these banners would draw much revenue. I think it should at least be tested, if it doesn't work... back to the banners. I would donate, anyone else?

The donation system doesn't work unless you have user loyalty.

The banner ads are hybrid CPM/CPC/CPA.
