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.

Angry a little bit disappointed about Xolox users

I'm using Xolox since 3 days. 10 trys per day average and 1/2 hit over all. This is poor!
My dear Partners closed their programs in the middle of my download. I thought this is called "File sharing"
Lets get back to Bearshare!

funny people, so you think Bearshare is different... hehe, find out what is the meaning of the word "gnutella", funny people. When you kick a brother next time , make sure he's not married with your sister... hm, that means you... whatever, forget it.

As I've said before, you could get a bigger user base if you would submit XoloX to http://download.cnet.com/ , otherwise known as download.com, all you have to do is scroll to near the bottom of the screen and click 'Submit a file'. You must of course be the program developer to do this. Unless you don't think your application is ready for more users, I highly suggest you submit it to all the servers you can think of. It's FREE and most of them step you thru the process with little pain.

Another one is hotfiles.com

Default I agree but....

I understand XoloX is in Beta (Even though it doesn't say so.) but I still feel that if, say, 5 - 10k more people were to start using this program it would help spread the word, get the program running on a ****load of other computers, and help track down any problems that need fixing. This is why you release beta software. Even Microsoft does this with their software, and ALL of it sucks. Well, I have to say that WinXP seems very stable as of now. Anyway, as long as they put the word 'Beta' next to the name, most people will understand if it's got some problems, but at least it would get more people interested in the software. (As we are.)

Besides, I know that XoloX is ready for at least WinXP as I have had zero problems using it for days at a time. The only exception is when I first installed it I had to get a new hostslist.txt file to get it connected, but that was IT. I think if they fix that issue in 1.13 it will be ready enough.

"Even Microsoft does this with their software, and ALL of it sucks. Well, I have to say that WinXP seems very stable as of now. "

why are you using it then? there is Solaris 8 (Free), Linux (Free)
FreeBSD (free). Why would you choose to pay $200 for an OS that Sux? Oh I forgot, you probably stole it...

Not all MS products suck. people just say that because it is the done thing.

I take each program on its own merit, as they are developed by different programmers anyway.

Imagine if you were the programmers of Xolox. You have a list of 10 things (conservative) you want to implement. You also have a list of bugs to fix. Do you really think that they could handle a flood of bugs, flames, etc?

BTW.. they arent even charging you for this product.

Xolox is a great app. Nice and simple. I commend the programmers, testers, responsible users and others involved in this.

Actually, I didn't steal WinXP, it was installed on my computer when I got it. As for linux and the other free operating systems, they aren't any better even if they are free. You know it IS possible to think that a program sucks and still use it! I hate my POS car too, but I sure as hell am NOT going to walk everywhere just cause I hate my car.
