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. |

 Fake websites Hi guys i'm a new user and i've just signed up to a website www.emule2005.com and paid £25 and all i appeared to get was Limewire and access to downloading other download software. As i understand limewire basic is free, but they also provide a support service, which i contacted today and chatted to someone. I was wondering whether anyone knew whether this website was authentic or not, i only realised there were scam sites after i visited the limewire message boards and by then i had already paid the money. This website i used claimed to give back the money within 7 days if the customer is not satisfied, so i need to find out soon to see if i can get some money back or not. I would appreciate anyone letting me know if they have any information as to the authenticity of this website. Jo x   |

 What do they offer? Bobble I honestly don't know anything about this site, www.emule2005.com, but before you go any further ask yourself this question: If they are directing me to download free software, which I can freely do for myself, then what are they selling me for my (hard earned) £25.00? If, as I suspect, the answer is "nothing" then ask for a refund because the site is trying to scam you. And also, change your credit card details because you don't want to be billed in future for fictitious purchases. Bobble, the simple fact is that LW Basic, like any other P2P software, allows you to download stuff from thousands of PCs, from around the world, owned or used by people like us. There is no central server or authority so no one can guarantee that you can download what you like when you like, e.g. movies or music. You can only get what other P2P users are willing to share when their PCs are on and only when that coincides with yours being on. If anybody tells you different then they are lying. The proper site for LimeWire Basic and LimeWire Pro, which cost $18.88 and you get six months worth of updates/upgrades, is here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml NB: You don’t have to pay anyone to introduce you to LW Basic, it’s free.

 Thanks for the reply! The website claims that i'm paying for online support where they give me advice about how to sort out problems i come across. but is that worth £25? and is that what limewire pro offers?? do you think this website seems legit because i was actually able to chat online to one of their technicians? i'm so confused. |

| Bobble Please don't get taken in, you can can all the support you need right here and the other members (and I) do not charge for our advice. LW Pro, on the other hand, does offer 6 months technical advice, as well as 6 months worth of updates/upgrades, for your $18.88 (under £10.00) but you get better advice here. So whether you opt for LW Basic (free) or LW Pro (under £10) you can always come to this forum for advice. As for the scam site, it can, for now, legitimately take your money and give you nothing back because, like so many people before you, you will find that the "so-called" technical help dosen't exist.

| Thank you so much for all your help guys. I'm just so annoyed with myself for forking out £25 for nothing. This is such a useful information forum i just hope other people read the messages posted here before they hand over any cash in future. Thanks again xxx  |
