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. |

 Cancellation OK. So I've signed up to Limewire 26th July- 7 day trial money back if you're not satisfied. Can't connect regardless of what I try and believe me I've tried everything posted on the forum. Contacted my ISP etc etc. I'm a reasonably patient sort of guy but have finally come to the conclusion that Limewire sucks big time. So, how do I get a refund of my subscription or should I kiss my money goodbye and treat it as a Limewire rip off? Do I think I'll get a reply to this? I stand as much a chance as getting my money back or being able to download, ah well just another one of lifes hard lessons!.  |

 Reasonable Guy Garry You sound like a reasonable person but I will have to tell you that it seems that you have suffered a catastrophic failure of common sense. Your said: Quote:
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml If you went anywhere else then chances are your were ripped-off. So I guess you went to a scam site, fell for their lying adverts (which is where the common sense failure comes in) and handed over your money and payment details. The scammers now have your money and will now probably drain your account using fictitious purchases. Unless you contact your payment provider immediately, try to get your money back by saying you were conned by one of the many sites set up to part the gullible from their money and, finally, change your payment details. As a "reasonable guy”, you should have realised that what this scam site was offering was too good to be true. UK Bob |

| Limewire Thanks for the reply. I guess I am a bit thick in these things so I thought I'd give it another try via the limewire.com website to see where I've messed up. Go to limewire.com, click on downloads, click on basic and guess what happens..... A nice pop up getting you to purchase the Pro version. Now if you're like me, which I hope many people aren't, I just signed up and put my details in without reading the form. So Limewire have my details, but I only have the basic version..... I keep being asked in this version to upgrade to Pro...... so how do I make sure limewire don't sell me something I don't want. And why do users who only want to try the basic version get redirected via pop up to a buy site??? |

 Limewire.com???? Gary You said you went to Limewire.com to get LW Basic and got a pop-up saying purchase the Pro version. Could you provide the URL so that I can see where you actually went because following my own link, from my previous post, I get NO SUCH pop-up. In fact, I have just downloaded LW Basic to my office PC, which I will now delete, without any of the problems you describe. Gary, I don’t know what you are doing or what site you are on but you don’t have to provide any details to get LW Basic, only to get LW Pro. Post the URL link you are using to get to Limewire.com and, I believe, we can solve this mystery. UK Bob Last edited by ukbobboy01; July 29th, 2005 at 10:17 AM. |

| We've heard on occasion of browsers being hijacked when a user goes to www.limewire.com. Bob is correct, downloading LimeWire BASIC is a one-click process. If you don't already have a good anti-adware and anti-spyware program on your computer, please go to www.download.com and install one. |

| Hi All. I'm back after a great vacation. Anyway, money has gone from my account and I still only have the free version. I've checked the address from ukbobby above and go to the same web site. I'm now having to contact my card supplier to tell them about this rip off to ensure that I don't get any more taken from my account by these people. Take note good people, there are unscrupulous folk out there that offer services that are not fit for purpose and then don't offer any form of refund. I guess that's why they're a good sight richer than me!!! |

| but if you DID happen to purchase LimeWire pro, and are using basic, then your account with limewire should be activated. type in the email that you used to purchase LW, and you will be taken to your LW pro download page... http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...pro_lookup.jsp |

| I likewise have just downloaded LW Basic. It is not 100% straightforward... more like 99.99% -and is a tiny little bit naughty, but only a tiny bit! Get Pro and Get Basic are big red buttons side by side Click get Basic and you just get a big red button saying Get Pro. Replacing Basic's red button is written "see below". While it does not take a degree in rocket science to see this, I can see that someone in a big hurry would assume that the Basic link did not work, but really they would have to be blind not to suss it out. As for popups ... no idea as I dissabled them ages ago, and if your browser doesn't dissable popups ....use one that does! |
