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. 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. |

 Users Who Share Files With Viruses Hello... Why does Limewire allow users to share files with viruses or spyware or other damaging files on their on their shared files??? I have been paying for Limewire Pro for almost 2 years now, and always pay the fee every 6 months or whenever it is due. Why can't limewire block the ip addresses of those who are sharing files with viruses or spyware, of course I always scan a file before I open it, and never download an exe file, but if Limewire has the ip address of a user sharing these files can't they block them?? I realize there are probably millions of people using Limewire, but there has to be a way to get rid of these creeps... When I find one of course I block the ip address, and supposedly their ip address will not show up, but I have instances where I blocked an ip address and it showed up again when I did a search. Is there a place to report ip addresses who are sharing files with viruses or spyware files in their files they share??? If not then maybe Limewire should embed that function in the product... Here is one ip address I had to block because they are sharing files with either a virus or a spyware file in their zip file ip ************ It really makes me mad when people do this, and you try to chat with them, and of course they have their chat disabled, so I can do nothing about it. I chose to pay for Limewire pro hoping to get better service than just using the free version, but if this is the way it is going to be and Limewire can't stop these people, then why pay??? If this is posted in the wrong section I apologize, I do not usually post here, just mainly read... Thank You... Last edited by wondering why; March 18th, 2007 at 04:59 PM.  |

| ===================================== Cusomer Service Reply ===================================== LimeWire is software that allows users to connect directly to other users' computers, via the Gnutella network, and share files with them. It is not a music service, we do not have any members, nor do we make any such indication, anywhere on our website. We have no foreknowledge of, nor control over, what users decide to share over the Gnutella network, we do not place any files on the network for users to download, nor do we make any guarantee that you will find the files you are searching for. Firewalls are not the cause of every LimeWire issue. "Need more sources" is already addressed in our FAQ: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...faq.shtml#dow1 Please provide a clear, detailed description of your problem, so I can better assist you. In addition, if you are getting an error message, you will need to include it in your response, exactly as it appears on your screen, as well as the exact moment at which you received the message. To learn about peer-to-peer filesharing, and the Gnutella network, please visit: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...elopment.shtml http://www.limewire.com/english/content/p2p.shtml Thanks, Zenzele **If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this email, and please include the message history in your response.

| Hello Zenzele... Thank you for replying... I have been using Limewire for a few years now, as I said, I am using LimeWire PRO 4.12.11 Everything was working fine until I did the latest upgrade to LimeWire PRO 4.12.11, after that I would be using the program, and after about 15-30 minutes it would just all of a sudden shut down, so I read suggestions on the board as to things to do to fix the problem. So about 2 pm est. today I did as mickjapa108 Senior Member advised here 1st post Now when I start Limewire it will not even run long enough to allow me to choose any settings, it will not start at all now... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thank You.... |

| None of the suggestions given ever worked, here or on other posts, I finally got Limewire to run on my own. Here is what I did after trying all the other suggestions here and on other posts. Before I started to do all that others were saying to do if Limewire quits after running for 15-30 Minutes I had Java 5 up to version 11, so I uninstalled all the Java installs, and installed the Java everyone is advising, I uninstalled Limewire deleted all Limewire files and all the other things I was told to do, and after doing all that I could not even get Limewire to even start up long enough to even answer the setup questions. So finally I uninstalled all the Java files I was told to install... Then Uninstalled Limewire, and deleted all other LimeWire files. "If you do not know anything about the registry then don't mess with it" if you do open it and before you do anything back up the registry. Next I went to the registry I then searched for java, and deleted any entries that had to do with any of the other installs I had made. Then I reinstalled the Java 5 ver. 11 HERE which was installed before I was told to uninstall ALL my java installs. Then I downloaded the Beta version of Limewire 4.13.2 "which is running right now, and has been for the past hour" The installation went as smooth as it did the 1st time I installed Limewire a few years back. So this worked for me, BUT remember BE CAREFUL WITH THE REGISTRY, and make sure you back it up if you are going to try the steps I did, and don't get angry with me if it does not work, I am just telling everyone what worked for me.... -Hank |

For going the long way about it, it sure worked quicker than anything you guys were offering. I worked all day with the suggestions you guys gave, which by the way were just sending people to the same link over and over, at least my fix I'll bet is easier to understand  |

| Tartop.Hi. You Say, "Show me where it says to install the java version I did, or where it says deleting registry files..." The reason we recommend to use the most up to date java, is that hackers are constantly finding vulnerabilities in java run-time which means, your java had already been compromised ,causing corruption, that's why you had to reinstall. Now!! that same vulnerability will be attacked again, thus You will need to get JRE 6. I would ask you to kindly refrain from telling people to alter there Registry in open forum, as most people are not able to safely make these changes. I just wonder, how many have tried your suggestion, & Now need to reinstall there operating system. If you had posted your details in the first place with explanation of fault, Like we ask everywhere on these forums. I may have talked you through editing Your registry in a private message. NOT ON OPEN FORUM. that's why you don't see that fix everywhere. We like to help people here Not break their computers. AND!! just to put the record straight, I have not given you personal instructions to do anything, anything you tried, was not personaly advised by me. Peace.

| Anger Tartop Something happened to your PC and that, quite understandably, made you angry and the general solutions offered did not seem to work for you but quite honestly that is no reason to take your anger out on forum members. Remember that every forum member is an unpaid volunteer that tries to help out in their spare time, also remember that there are millions of PCs out there each with their own configuration and special facilities. Therefore, there is no way this forum can cater for all the probabilities and problems any individual PC may have, especially when users neglect to mention their own unique circumstances. You, like most of us, have at some stage had to sort out our own problems and, like you have done, brought that bit of knowledge to the forum so that it may help someone in the future. So instead of being angry be content that you have solved a possibly insurmountable problem and passed that knowledge on. UK Bob |
