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.

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. |

| Yes verizon thanks for the comment!    Anyways I was wondering what a remote firewall was because when it jacks my internet it also shows a diagnosis if I choose to so I did. When I ran it it said that a remote firewall may be blocking connections and that I should call my ISP about it. Should I call them and ask about remote firewall or just ask them if they suddenly blocked gnutella connections or if not let me know what... BTW the firewall was off and Limewire still didn't connect. |

| Larsenator. Hi. You need to ask direct Questions, Are you filtering,shaping,or blocking any ports using P2P networks.? Ask!! What is your policy on P2P ? Insist, that they give there reply in writing. That makes them come clean. If they confirm what I believe, Then vote with your MAC code and get an ISP That Respects your right to choose what Software you run on your computer. P.S.. Help keep open information sharing alive & free. We are not sheep to be herded into lines & channeled to except whatever ulterior motive, price,or advert they wish to stuff on us. I have a car, I use it on the world wide road,(Network) Now! I can choose to Kill with it,or transport grandma to the shop,the choice is always mine. LimeWire is legal software, & you should have the right to use it, or abuse it Peace.

| How do I tell if I'm blocking ports or whatever and what did you mean about rights to software on my comp. and what not? Do you mean I should call Verizon and ask them if they are blocking P2P Programs because they weren't before when I had my other computer. Limewire only gave me trouble when I switched to Vista on a newer fatser computer and I think that is more than a coincidence. |

| Its suspected, that Verison are blocking ports, not you!. LimeWire is legal software, Its on your comp,(its my opinion) other company's should have no legal right to close it, or interfere with its running. Ok. Peace.

| Alright now I'm pissed. I downloaded Shareaza,Bearshare,Forstwire, and the only one that worked was bearshare but anything that's worth downloading is in the wrong format and can't be put on an ipod so I got rid of that too! I've been trying to solve my problem everday for about a week now and I'm about ready to purchase itunes songs... If it helps as I've been gaining info form the different P2P programs: When I got Shareaza it mentioned my firewall and the port fowarding thing(Which I might add is a total pain in the ***), so I'm gonna go ahead and try the port foward crap. Now when I tried before and I didn't know what to put in the sign in someone mentioned calling Verizon or someone to reset my password and I have no idea what the number would be so if anyone knows what that number would be I would appreciate the help. If this doesn't work then I give up...I can afford some bucks...but not all of this crap. |

 A Huge Update!!! Alright guys I called Verizon and the man began a screen sharing session between our computers in which he can see and control my screen...so cool. Anyway he wanted to see the error message displayed by Limewire, and I told him it will probably disconnect our session but what the hell? I opened Limewire and of course it robbed my internet and said communication session timed out! Mean while the asian man is on the other side going quote "What did you do to my computer!!!"  He was kidding of course but I did indeed freeze his computer...good stuff... But after all of that he said everything was working fine, Verizon does not block P2P programs, and that my internet connection has nothing to do with my problem as it is perfectly fine. He said that he couldn't help me anymore and that port fowarding and anything of the sort could not resolve the problem. That's great cuz port fowarding is a pain in the ***!!  Anyway he told me to call up Macafee and ask them some questions about my problem to see if the problem is the firewall(I just can't make up my mind can I?) After all the message displayed by Limewire did say that if it wasn't my internet connection that it had to be a firewall and that leaves nothing but the Macafee firewall to blame...windows firewall is a good boy...or is it? Hope this info helps...I'm going to call Macafee once I can find the blasted number! Meanwhile does anyone have any sugestions...I already uninstalled my Macafee firewall and everything... |
