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 total downloaded junk

hi guys
im catwoman from south africa and im new as a member but ive been using limewire for very long since i opened my licenced pro account.
i now have a serious problem with some downloads from limewire.when i search for a certain video/movie/program or audio i find that after wasting days waiting for 1 item of 700mb to download,that it actualy is rubbish/junk even porn just given another name.
so far ive tried downloading [edit],waited 10days only to get a redlight districk porn movie/documentry.
i have young kids who love these movies and what a dissapointment when u finaly wanna watch the movie only to find porn.that realy is not great.i left emule n bearshare cause of the same bull.
2day i finaly finished [edit] only to get some documentry of 911 disaster..
even certain programs seem to have trojans/worms and no contence.
my suggestion is that limewire should sort these programs into their prober sections where they belong with the proper names and not allow hackers to load rubbish with viruses as it cost us money to repare a crashed pc just cause of it.
please guys at support team do not allow people to load ur porn under false names.rather give them a section for sh..t like that with its proper names so that we who dont want it dont have to wast time n money.u guys do a great job with free files,just please check to see if its proper and good quality.afterall limewire is great but the speed is terrible even with my turbo account.

It's always wise to use Bitzi before downloading any video files, this way you can avoid all the rubbish that some people place into files...
How to use Bitzi Web Lookup .. & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect/Browse/Chat

Another good way is to preview the file when it get's to about 15%..

Limewire cannot control what is on the Gnutella Network, Limewire is only the software that connects you to other computers just like yours, so you can share files...

how come its so easy to just say go here or click there or wait 15% later to preview when ive down that so many times with some programs/videos after its downloaded 50%.i just get a message nothing preview.seems like phazeddl and rapidshare no matter how bad they might seem to others are much more reliable for decent programs.just have a look at member k009 a child exposed to porn.no guys i know u cannot control what people load but check it out first and at least give us a section where we can send abusive junk like that.most of these people who share here arent even members but hackers.we all sometimes dont wanna pay for some program thats why we come here but is it really worth it. im a member at www/fileho.com and i can asure u there aint no rubbish allowed cause when u upload a file ect they check it first before publishing..limewire.ect please control ur sites.

Did you not understand what I meant in my earlier post ?? Limewire is just P2P software ...How can limewire know what is on everybodies computers...No file passes through a site or a server so they can't be screened...It's people and their computer's connecting to each other and sharing files...
I really don't know how to explain it to you in a more simplier way..
Except for this link (I hope it's not to hard to understand)
Peer-to-peer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I like your sig, it's so true isn't it....

When i try to preview movies it always says, I have'nt got the correct codecs, but when the download is complete, the movie plays fine. Any Ideas why this would happen? I have 100's of codecs and several Media Players, including VLC.
Thanx

kgoo9 says he was on the internet, using google, when he encountered the 'child porn'.

Check your local laws, kg009, if you're really scared. Don't sit there and do nothing. My guess? You have to have the stuff in your possession to get in trouble. If it's simply out there on the internet, you probably won't be a target. Like I said, just a guess. Check it out for yourself.
