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.

Exclamation Strange results like !setup

Has anyone noticed when using Xolox, I am using 1.13, that sometimes you get lots of results that say something like !setup.exe ? or !setup.zip.

I am using xolox 1.13 because I have a slow system and I am worried the newer versions will completely stall my pooter.

for example if I am searching for files with calculus, I always seem to find !setup_calculus.exe or something like that. and if I look up islam, then I will get files like !setup_islam.exe I cannot remember the exact filenames. but it seems like there are some people who are making up files according to the search results. They are all the same files but with a different filename. I do not want to download them because they could be trojan horses. anyone know about these files?

Thanks,

Default Porn Spam

The copycat files without the “!” are porn Spam. I have heard that the copycat files with the “!” have a virus, though they may just be porn Spam too.

Why not save a copy of your 1.13 version and give the new version a try (it works much better). If you don’t like XoloX 2.0 then you can go back to 1.13.

I agree most are just that and there is one siple thing to do with those files. Avoid downloading them. There are dialers that auto install when downloaded onto your computer. If it says "setup" then it should be avoided. Unless you want a porn dialer on your computer.

Only way is to go in and manually remove them from your program list if you do not wish to lose other data that has been downloaded. You can reset your computer to an earlier time or do a damaging recovery but you will LOSE EVERYTHING that you have downloaded that yoiu do want.

Default aware

am i of those setup files with the !!!***.exe,.rar,.zip,and even html in them that are total BS files. personally this type of spam is firstly a waste of my bandwidth by searching for a game or something and finding a file that has that name, yet is far too small to be the true app. secondly, this goes against everything gnutella is about because the files are malicious nor true to form. I share only true files i know are virus free and are what the person who is searchin for wants as the vast majority of xolox users do im sure, but for the few idiots who think they are some awesome cracker by sharing bs files on their comp ....YOU PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS AND NEED TO GET A LIFE BECAUSE YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME IF YOU THINK ANY1 IS STUPID ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY DOWNLOAD YOUR BS FILES YOU WANNA BE CODE CRACKING FOOLS.

Well put. I think those who are pushing this crap should be dragged for miles behind a truck and then beaten with their keyboard while we torch their hard drive.

I use Ad-aware to get rid of spyware, you could give it a try for the porn dialers. So far it has worked great for me. You can get it from download.com. I had that porn crap on my puter after visiting a site and I was able to get rid of it with the Ad-aware.
Hope this helps.

I got Ad-Aware too and it is great but I still think we should do what I suggested to these people.
