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. |

 LimeWire Not Ready For Mac III Many thanks to all who viewed my first thread regarding LW, and for the helps they offered! I am running a Mac G4, Mac OS 9.1, 640mb RAM, 20 and 15mb hardrives. As I had stated in my first and second threads, I have experienced freezes and crashes due to corruption of Remote Access, Desktop, and Finder files after LW has been installed for a short period of time. Installation of LW is smooth and flawless! But after a short time (hrs.) big problems arise. Again, I would like to restate that I think LW is a great app. aimed at replacing Napster for many MP3 officianado's. And my needs are the same as theirs. However, think about what some of you are telling me to do to solve the problems I am having!! LW 1.4b was released to run on Mac OS 9.1. So it should run on Mac OS 9.1 and run very well!!!! If Mac OS X is as good as it's supporters purport it to be, then why did Apple release it with an accompanying copy of Mac OS 9.1 and the option to go back to 9.1? Think!! Mac OS X, in the short time it has been released, has experienced 3 updates, to me that is too much too soon! This is "the operating system" the heart of your system, there shouldn't be so many problems with this level of software!!! I'm sure that it will eventually be the best operating system ever created for Mac, but jumping into a new OS is not the answer for LW's problems. I do plan on upgrading to OS X in the future. From the sounds of things cosmetically the program is great, but functionally it is lacking, so I prefer to take a "wait and see approach" right now! I don't think that investing ?$129.95 in OS X to run a free app. is the way to go! As a matter of fact I would be more willing to pay $20 to $30 dollars for LimeWire when it is fully developed! Excuse me for being "old-fashioned" but sometimes I think it is true that "nothing really good comes free"! And besides, I feel that the LW developers deserve something for their work! The general computer community out there needs to demand software that is more fully developed and tested before release for use!!! Raise your standards. Don't drop your guard!  |

 Tmpski: LimeWire IS ready for the mac...mac os x that is...the future....and it's here now. BTW, i've had os x since it's release...and even before with the public beta...and it's been flawless...the updates are minor and seem to boost speed slightly at every release and to fix minor cosmetic things. one i can think of is longfilename support. 10.0.0 and 10.0.1 seemed to only support 32 character filenames (probably some leftover crap from 9.X), but now in 10.0.3 true longfilename support ala unix is working fine. anyhow...i'm sure you have your reasons for sticking to os 9, maybe because you need software (such as photoshop etc.) and drivers that only run under os 9. but you shouldn't ignore the power of unix and os x because of the frequent updates...these are normal...the os has just been introduced. i don't think the original mac os ran as well as x when it was first introduced in 1984. i bet even os 9.0.x didn't even run as well as x when it was first introduced as an upgrade to os 8.6 try os x...you might just like it! ;-) cheers |

| Until all major software, especially Photoshop, is not only advertised but proven to work flawlessly on OS X, I can't imagine any major migration of users from OS 9.1. Other than a small number of developers, most users cannot just do without their installed base of third party software. OS X may be right for many of us someday, but not yet today. |
