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. |

 Problem Previewing AVI files I have noticed while trying to download avi files that usually the preview won't work while they are still downloading. I can't tell if this only happens on files that end up not working or if it's just random, does any one know? It would be nice if it was consistant enough to be able to tell, because after downloading a 700MB file and finding it doesn't work, well that's a little discouraging. Anyone have any methods for detecting bad files while downloading them? Last edited by zetch1411; November 24th, 2004 at 09:07 AM.  |

| I'm new to this forum, and forums in general. Not too familiar with the etiqutte. I just am having a hard time finding my old posts to add anything to them. Took me a little while to even find this one again. I'm not really liking the fact that people seem to be getting their hands smacked by the "teacher" for screwing up. Shouldn't forums be equal for every user? I just like the thought of being able to ask a stupid question and letting other users who have had the same problem comment on it and hopefully answer it. Not really even interested in the beuracracy. |

| Well, in defense of the "teachers", we do not (generally) "smack your hands" for asking a stupid question. We "smack" them if you ask a question that goes against the rules. And that's different. (by the by, the rules are available as an announcement if you wanna get familiar with the etiquette). In a utopia, forums would be equal for everyone and there would be no need for advantages and/or somebody playing "police". The thing is that the world ain't perfect (it's the latest theory...) so members have more privileges than guests and moderators have some more functions that members (administrator(s) are Forum Gods so we don't talk about them much). What I'm desperately trying to say is that if there wasn't someone here to play the part of the "teacher", chaos would surely be unleashed upon GnutellaForums.com: guests posting all kinds of spam, flame-wars and other annoying stuff that can be witnessed in some other forums (mainly because they have section for it too). We're more like Santa (hmm, maybe not): we know if you've been bad or good. (So be good for goodness' sake!) Returning to the problem posted in the title post, are you sure that you have the right codecs? Generally, you can view (almost) anything with the necessary codecs, so even if a movie won' t preview (which it should, methinks), make sure that you have the right codecs to play it; the completed file should play. You can download the nimo pack that contains most codecs for Windows Media Player for PC, but I suggest you just switch players to the free and less dangerous VLC (www.videolan.org/vlc/): it doesn't need any additional codecs and can play virtually anything. I hope I answered to a few of your questions. Class dismissed.

| I wrote that last post mainly for ursula, who instead of posting a reply to my post, edited my post to include a mocking footnote. I understand the need for protection against spamming but that wasn't the issue I had in mind. Provided that no spamming or other intentionally annoying material is being posted, shouldn't people be free to post what they would like to without being mocked? And btw, the posts were not the same. A problem previewing avi files and a problem deleting them are two different issues, and I would assume, generally once a question has been successfully answered and a thank you has been posted, the topic is pretty much dead. I had no intention of trying to spread numerous annoying posts about avi files, it's just that I had two seperate problems with them, one which has been solved and one that has not. Back to this topic, I have tried downloading several different players and tons of codec bundles. The files play fione once downloaded, so there is no problem there. I kind of just assumed from this that the file is being downloaded without all the neccesary info required to play it having been downloaded first. It's not that big of a deal, I can manage without being able to preview these files and will not post anymore questions reagrding avi files. |

| Biting The Hand That... Dept. I'll be damned if I can find the [Edit] you refer to surviving in any of your posts ! Perhaps you have subsequently edited it yourself ?  However, one does hope that you will find the capacity to acknowledge that in fact I have fairly routinely responded to your posts rather quickly. (With minimum 'mock mode' engaged !) Try to understand that there are many people who post the same or nearly the same posts here out of the usually declared desperation to receive a reply as soon as possible... Problem is that it makes a mess of the place when such double-posts are allowed to remain. Anyone with your obvious general computer abilities should be able to appreciate this, hmmm ? I, along with a few others here, suffer from the delusion that p2p filesharing is a hobby and should be fun... Wild thinking, huh ? Guess my amazingly developed and highly desirable sense of humour just isn't reaching the universal market !  "Be seeing you..." As Number 6 used to say...
