Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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 Houston, we have a problem...

Dear Dim Bulbs,
We know that we should have to take our shoes off and bow down to the "forum gods" for their infinite wisdom, and sarcasm. The part that you just do not seem to understand, is that we actually DO NOT want to have to deal with you, like AT ALL!!
We would actually prefer to deal with the other pinheads, at Slimewire, the people whom we actually paid our "ONE TIME FEE" to.
We would like an actual email address and a phone number, to resolve issues, like double billing, or other "BUSINESS" or operation issues, without having to deal with volunteers and amateurs, with their greater than thou attitude.
If this was Microsoft, or any other company that you pay money to, do you think there is a forum there? No, you actually get to talk to a person who is "employed" by the company, not some overbearing "moonie" incapable of actually getting anything resolved.
If your forum was a fan based, little club of wierdo's, well that would be fine, but to be defaulted to here, and have to try to BUSINESS, with you louts, is staggering in it's incompetence.
Please, if you need to be really clear on this, have an adult read this to you s-l-o-w-l-y, very s-l-o-w-ly!

Lord of the Retards

Default There actually IS a mention

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Do you see the part where it says "Get PRO for a single payment of only $18.88"

Ummmm...does it say you pay every six months? Does it say we promise "ZERO" customer support? Does it say we have to deal with a forum and not actual customer support?

What do you think Get PRO for a single payment of only $18.88 actually implies?

Slimewire, should be class actioned out of it's fraudulent existence, Do let us know where you will be commadeering next so we will know where to come to for comic relief. Maybe you can start a forum for the rick astley fan club, it would be a nice fit.
Have a nice day.

Can't you read? It says "Free updates for up to 6 months"
Houston, we have a problem...-picture-3.png
And what else do you think happens after the end of the 6 months? duh!

Besides, repurchasing gets a discount as long as it's within their offer period of a month.

You seem to read only what suits your rants.....

Q: How much does LimeWire cost?

A: LimeWire BASIC is completely free to download and use. An enhanced version of LimeWire, LimeWire PRO, is also available for a one time charge. LimeWire PRO can be purchased as an electronic download only.

LimeWire is a software application. The one-time payment for LimeWire PRO is a payment to purchase a copy of the program. PRO purchasers also receive Technical Support via email and up to 6 months of free updates.

You will not be charged again by Lime Wire after your initial purchase. After 6 months, PRO users have the option to purchase an additional 6 months of technical support and free updates for a reduced price.

http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.p...d_Questions#i2

Q: How do I get in touch with a customer service representative?

A: The best way to contact our representative is by filling out the 0nline form. We are only able to respond to emails from LimeWire PRO customers.

http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.p...estions#lwpro4

Q: How do I download the latest version of LimeWire without having to pay again?

A: If you purchased LimeWire PRO within the last 6 months, you can check for your personal download page by going to our LimeWire PRO support page. If you still find that you need help, you can contact a support representative.

Default Never Argue With An Idiot.

Dear Dimwit,
Never Argue With An Idiot. They Will Drag You Down To Their Level, Then Beat You With Experience" Were truer words ever spoken?
Why does Slimewire NOT want to have customer support? Oh sorry, if I buy Slimewire again, and again, and again, I will have customer support.
ONE TIME FEE means ONE TIME FEE you freaking crackhead!
Imagine having to buy Windows xp every six months, or any and every piece of software you have EVER purchased. The ONLY reason I bothered to purchase Slimewire was to respect the company, and be a part of their future.
IF someone had told me about the dog and pony show that people HAVE to deal with to be a part of this future, Slimewire would be residing in the "where are they now file" in Spades.
Ummm..what is the URL for your rick astley site? How much is it to join, and how often does one pay?
Have a safe and pleasant journy to your "other" job, and please go easy when you are salting the french fries ok.

Lord of the Retards

If you bought MS Office 98 & later wanted MS Office 2001, then you'd need to repurchase/upgrade. MS support for such products afaik is only for a stated period of time. Same as most software products. So I'm not sure what planet you step off from.

It's now almost 12 months of crap we've been getting from you & we've had enough dip sh*t. As I suggested in a previous thread, if you don't like it then scram. Go to Bearshare pro or something.
