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.

Default Ipod download problems also

I am having the same problem. hp says if they play in itunes,they are not corrupt files. but the "convert" is greyed out in itunes so you are unable to convert the mp3 to anything else. I have looked in limewire and can't find anything to help or "convert" the files either. It is NOT an IPOD problem since you can download files from cd's. And this place is 100% IPOD compatible. I am not finding this a very pleasant way to begin a relationship. any answers??? I have emailed limewire support and if they are like the typical email support,they will have me try something I already have. then I'll waste another 24 or more hours waiting on them again. I guess I should know better than to believe anything you see as an internet claim. get your money and run..... anyone having answers,please email me jim33714 AT msnDOTcom. thanks

You are confusing me. I've no idea what post you are referring to. The forum rules which are for everyones benefit have it seems not been read by you, and you have given your e-mail address out in the forum which is one thing that the rules say you should not do. replies will not be sent by e-mail ... well I hope not anyway! clear questions get clear answers for all to see. a search button above allows people to browse the forums for help.

Please join a thread already set up and relate to that or start your own thread stating your problem clearly. There are a lot of helpful people on this forum, far more than on some very large forums, I might add, but.... please .... give them a chance to help you.

ok I don't know who hp is. also I don't know if you are on Windows or Mac. I don't think this is a Limewire problem. I don't know what "this place is 100% iPod compatible means" you say " not a good format and no way to convert them" that has me stumped .... and "Not happy with this place so far and think I got ripped" ... what is that about???

and yet I'm going to try and answer you question ... I think. but I use Mac and my reply may not be apprpriate for a windows user.

My limewire downloads are saved in my iTunes folder and they load into iTunes (usually) automatically, into a playlist called Limewire. These are mp3s I'm talking about. I have certain of my cds in a playlist on iTunes called CDs. I plug my iPod in and it is not big enough to hold all my iTunes tunes, so I get a message asking if I want iTunes to select tunes for iPod. I click No. I select my CDs playlist and my Limewire playlist to load into iPod. I click ok. They both load into iPod end of story.

In windows I believe you may have to manually load the Limewire tunes into iTunes, and possibly you also need to create the Limewire playlist yourself, but maybe they have fixed that now.

I really have no idea if this helps, but I have tried. Limewire support is available for pro users with Limewire problems. I like to think that these forums give better support than a small and overstretched limewire team can, and the huge archive of posts is excellent, and has a search feature to find you're way arond!

I would recommend you to try getting ANY response out of Apple's "lack of helpline service" and totally unfathomable disscussion group set up, so that you might realise how good the Gnutella forums are.

One last point that perhaps you tried to put was that you were trying to use iTunes to convert some file type to another. If there are no tunes highlighted (not just visible) in iTunes the "convert to mp3" option will be greyed out.

Ripped about what. We're volunteers here. What did you buy your Limewire from a scam site of something. LW is free unless you want the pro version at US $18.88 This forum is independent of the LW.org site & caters for many gnutella programs. And no, you don't downld files from this site or LW.org, you downld from other people like yourself.

Your problem, you should not need to convert any files to get them onto iPod. Not unless they're in RealPlayer or WMA format or something. iPod will play mp3, m4a, aiff, apple lossless, wav. Learning how to use your iPod is 1st & foremost. Like anything of that nature you buy. You should learn how to use it. We even provide easy samples on the forum to show how to get music onto iPod. You must transfer it to iTunes 1st. It needs to be within the actual iTunes Music Library. So it needs to be properly imported. How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes)

I got ripped...... I am not a moderator on these boards. If I was you would be banned permanently, mind you this thread is the best place for your double or 8 fold tirade. You are in good company with jim here. Please go away and read what I said inthe other thread and return if and when you have something sensible to say.
