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 Trojans, Spyware, and Viruses

How do I rid my computer of these things, so limewire will run regularly again? Also, will downloading 'limewire pro' off of the limewire network with out purchasing it work?

I'm sure that lots of people try to download Pro off the network. Whether they get a good, clean version of Pro is another matter
Why would anyone be so ch_eap, anyway? LW Pro's a great app & the small payment for Pro goes towards the future development of LW.

Personally, I think anyone who tries to download Pro from the network deserves to get a useless, malware infested piece of crap that won't download a single file

Could you be more rude?

You're basically hoping that people get a virus! You do realize that you can get bogus files, corrupt files, and viruses with the LimeWire Pro right?

You can get them with any program but we're still not going to agree with
downloading bogus software off the network. You just can't be sure the
hacked "Pro" versions of LimeWire or anything else are safe to use, especially
in LimeWire's case because the source code is available to the criminals as
well as the rest of us.

Anyway, the last thing you want when you're already fighting off worms is a
version of LimeWire you can't trust, especially as the free version is so easy to
get. The six tools in birdy's post should fix that infestation and the latest
version of LimeWire (4.13.8) is both newer and stronger than any older
version, pro or not, partly because it can use this half-million rule hostiles list.

…and of course we could be more rude, but where's the fun in that?

Agree the small payment helps us all. When you consider all the fantastic stuff we already get for free, I think payment for Pro is the correct thing to do.

Congrats !!!

You get my coveted dumb-azz of the week award !

HOW... HOW the hell do you interpret the post from birdy as being 'rude' ?

Further, you parade your general ignorance by implying that there is some increased 'threat' by using LimeWire Pro...
ALL forms of downloading ANYTHING can be harmful...

Default Avast

May I add a suggestion re: Anti-Virus s'ware ?

I very strongly recommend Avast ...

It is very 'powerful' and the updates are automatic for both virus definitions AND program updates...

It is very 'economical' in CPU and memory usage... And does NOT cause problems on a ShutDown of your OS...

Main tip with it is to always use the 'Advanced' display...


Oooh, and Adaware is excellent.
But, if you wisely elect to use the 'Pro' version, be cautious in your use of Adwatch... It does require some experience to use it properly and it can cause you considerable grief re: 'legitimate' alterations of your Registry settings.

I have looked and can't find the icon for posting questions on these forums. All I see is being able to post a reply to other questions.
Please advise a confused newbie.

Thanks

Easy... If you open a Forum Page... Meaning, go to the Forum itself and NOT to a specific post...

On the upper left you will see a box that says, New Thread

Click on that and go for it !

Have fun...

i have to put my 2 sence in lime wire and lime wire pro are garbage program's frostwire is the same as limewirepro exactly and it's free. i wouldn't use either one to be honest. i would download ares from sourceforge.net
that beat's all three of them program's hand's down. i do recommend not downloading ares anywhere but from sourceforge though due to all the fake copies where the site want's payement when it's free.

as for limewirepro it should never be sold. the source code is free the file's are free and further developement of what? they are going to improve it or not without being paid.
when you get sued by the riaa you think they are really gonna care you paid for your program? answer's no!!!!

if you must be hypocrytical then you shouldn't be downloading file's period but paying for them, thru i tunes or another such site. do not put someone down or make such a comment, such as oh that's wrong to download a file without paying for it, when in fact this entire forum is based on stealing yes i said stealing from artists or programmer's who sell their product's online. you really should judge yourself before judging other's.

oh and don't try that crap i'm only making back up's of the file's i already own, because we all know, all you have to do is insert the disc and pay yes i said quit being cheap and pay for an application that will allow you to rip a backup copy of your legal purchase.

hate me as you will, i'm just pointing out the fact's.

moral incase you missed it, don't make comment's when you yourself are dong the exact same thing rather it be software or music
