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.

Lightbulb Search improvements

XoloX is a great program, the best file-sharing program I have used so far. I just wish there where more search options like the ability to filter words out of your search. For example search for “porn” but filter out any results with the word “anal”. Options to select file extension and minimum file size would also be useful.

I’m also a little worried about the auto update feature. It works well but I’m concerned about possible security holes.

Default Security holes

Well, it looks like there are. I've had users downloading the update-file from my computer. What if I had changed my local version to be a trojan + xolox. The user would not have noticed, unless xolox automatically contacts xolox.nl to check for md5 checksums or so. Does ist???
I've switched off the autoupdate feature and download updates manually

Default searching for words with only 3 letters

Hello #2 on this site,

you asked for a way to search for strings with a length < 4.
It can be done by just adding a "-" i.e. a minus sign after the word. For example, if you are looking for "vie" just search for "vie-" and you will find what you need.

I found this out when I tried to find songs of "ska-p", and got all sorts of matches containing "ska" and the letter "p". This is a pity!
I'd request that as a feature for the network, that you can search for things like "ska-p" and get better matches. You might even surround your string with quotations marks to make sure you get an exact match. What about it?

best regards,
B.

Default Re: Security holes

I also have a very bad feelin with the automatic update, as long as we don't know which security feature is implemented or if there is any. I keep it disabled.
Hmm, as soon as a newbie asks in this forum "why is Xolox named Bearshare now", I know that somone has renamed bearshare.exe to xolox.exe... no, I'm only kidding.

Hi there,

We implemented security features to asure the right file is downloaded for autoupdate.

I am not going into all isues, but I can assure you that only we can initiate an upload-download and there are security measured taken.

Greets,

Good!! There should be security measures in this software! I'm glad the developers thought of this, as I am not sure that some other client developers have.......

With respect to the Xolox team programing abilities, but "security by obscurity" gives my paranoid brain some reasons to keep the autoupdate feature disabled. :)
I know that giving more details about the auto update security checks may or will open doors for a possible trojan programmer.... maybe we see us on #xolox again and dicuss this there. :)
