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. |

06/18/2005 In reply: Been on the network awhile now and still get upld request from comcast,shawcable,setarsdsl,telus.net at this minute but have not noticed the block at all. Been offline for a few days though no one is really using the network that much on the weekends its during the week that everyone is home. I have had record downloads of about 1000 requests for one particular download that is popular now in one evening. So, if the RIAA wants to pick on all of us then that even though the stuff is copyrighted don't mean nothing. How many times have you duped your own private suff for a personal friend because they don't have it in the their collection? Its all bout control people -- they want our souls and the rich rappers who look ugly, no teeth, really can't dance or play the part of a gigilo need to step down. Oh did I mention CAN'T SING/TALK either -- its sad how the record companies take advantage of young no talent and exploit them if your not playing basketball or football first. I'm done. |

| Duskv20 the inabililty to search is the 1st thing most Insight users notice. Alternatives are to change isp provider or try some of the proxy ideas. But setting up a proxy can be difficult & needs a lot of patience. You may need to try out many many proxy numbers before you find one that works. Even try different types of proxies if necessary.   |

You could always try sending Neo a pm. * As well as proxies, you can try different ports without a proxy 1st. Apparently some isp's are known for sometimes blocking ports. Some to try are 3500, 1203, 20282, 80 (this last one is a last resort!) Enter the new port no. in the Listening Port section of the LW firewall option. Oh but if you have a router that doesn't utilise UPnP then you may need to forward the port to open it up. See http://portforward.com/routers.htm You can also test the ports you try but you apparently need to have LW open at the same time for some strange reason (otherwise it may say the port's closed when it's actually open): http://home.no.net/tgrumpy/ct/dex.php http://koti.mbnet.fi/gfactory/ctest/ http://jlh.no-ip.org/connectiontest/ http://www.grc.com/port_6346.htm (Press Probe this port button) Use the jump box to enter a new port number.

| I downloaded the most recent version of lime wire and many of the "menus" you've mentioned don't even appear. I have no "force ip" button among other things. Either way... I'm a total noob when it comes to all this proxy/firewall stuff. I've searched around a bit trying to figure something out but I still can't get LW to connect. An error keeps popping up saying that there is no active internet connection or that a firewall is blocking it or something like that. I've tried turning off the firewalls... which I believe I have done, and still... nothing works. So, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! |
