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. |

 A Question For The Wise Members (remove all traces of LW) I have never had any problems using limewire but I need to uninstall it to sell this computer any buy another. Now most of my needed files ( music ) have been placed onto memory sticks I have about 2,000 songs. ( correct me on anything below or add your additions. I guess there are plenty of people here with much more knowledge than I. ) so here goes. Before I sell this computer and buy my new on ( I have windows XP. HOME ) at the moment. I intend to do this. 1. Uninstall limewire. 2. Run a search for limewire and delete anything with ‘limewire’ that comes up in the search. 3. Delete the music on my computer that I do not need. 4. Run cyber scrub on my c/drive. 5. Run spy sweeper. 6. Clean out my internet cookies via c/drive. 7. Remove system resore dates keeping only my most recent one. So that is that part and I know how to do it. But…. Should I ( been told it is a good thing ) download a programme called cyber scrub to clean my c/drive - hard rive , I have been told I should and have downloaded this cyber scrub. I have a spy sweeper also that I got with this P.C. So if I do 1-2-3-4-5-6-7- , and clean my c/drive with cyber scrub and run the spy sweeper will all my downloads be deleted and unrecoverable ? I am guessing yes! But I know only this much ‘delete does not mean gone’ So have I covered all bases to sell my computer with no worry of the next owner getting my music files of both now and long deleted ones in the past. I await your advice on this. Last edited by Sleepless; April 4th, 2008 at 08:23 PM. Reason: Posts in bold are annoying to read!!!  |

| Thank you both I do have a windows XP. Product Recovery Disc CD ROM. And about two years ago I tried a full recovery ( reformat ) on windows X.P. and had nothing but trouble. I think I may as well go with the recovery , as this will give the next person a fresh windows and me peace of mind. Any tips on doing a product Recovery.? Do I do a partial or full recovery.? And does it matter if the CD. ROM is for this computer or is it enough to have ‘any’ product recovery disc as long as it is X.P. Genuinely grateful for the help given so far.: |

| Just a little FYI. It has been said that it takes up to 7 Reformates to completly wipe the Disc. Makes no difference to me what you decide. Just trying to give some helpful Info. There are File Recovery Programes out there that will be able to Recover files and data after only one reformat. Just something to think about.

| I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know that as for what I do , I am unsure but it is good to know the choices I have. After all even if I did not sell my computer and put it in the bin I guess I still need to remove my information and so on ? |

| Most deffinately (spell check) It has always been quite a debate on what to do with an old HDD. The link I gave you in post #2 seems to get the job done as it overwrites the disc many times. Me personally would never let anyone get there hands on any HDD that I have used. HDD are very inexpensive now days, so I would take the old one out and replace it. That might also be an oppertunity to get more money out of the computer when selling. You can get a 40gig HDD for about $45.00
