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.

Yeah, i was kinda confused! Well, my CPU is a celeron 800mhz, i have about 600mb RAM, i use an ASDL modem on a Broadband connection, I have downloaded the latest version of Limewire (4.9.28) and Java (5.4.4), i use XP Pro, i have onboard graphics (not sure about them!), i dont have a firewall and i use McAfee virus scan, i have used Limewire for a while, and it only stopped working once i downloaded the newer free version, after that i downloaded pro from it, i feel this was justified as i had previously paid for the older version and pro and had not even recieved pro with my initial Limewire download! My Limewire starts and the connection is always good, people can upload from me but every time i enter a search field and hit search, nothing at all happens, i dont get any results at all, i fear if i delete all traces of Limewire from my computer and start again i will lose all of my downloads! Im not really sure though!

OK first when you orriginally got LimeWire you say you paid for pro and did not get it. What website did you get it from and how much did it cost. The reason I ask this is because you may have been scamed and the orriginal version you got may be corrupt. And what version of LimeWire was it.

I cant remember what version it was, sorry, it was quite some time ago! I got it from www.piolet.com, it cost, altogether about £36! There was a tick box for the Pro version on the form, but i did not recieve it, the original version i bought did work fine though!

Sorry to tell you this but you have joined the legions of the scammed.

So I am guessing you DL the pro version from a P2P site. Odds are it is corrupt and may even contain a virus. Did you get it from someplace other than the official site.

Thats annoying, i did think it was rather pricey! The old version of Pro i got through the originally paid for Limewire, it worked fine until i deleted Java, unaware that it ran on it! I re-downloaded Java and everything and eventually the second version of Limewire i got, the newest version from the official site worked until i used it to download Pro, i wasnt sure but the Version number didnt match the Basic Limewire version i was using, it seemed too new, After that every time i re-installed Limewire it just wouldnt work, i can do a Virus scan, but it usually picks up things anyway, without my doing anything.
