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. |

 Corrupted Files. Lately, it seems that many long files terminate with a corrupted file message. After more then a day of downloading this is frusrating, to say the least. It would seem to be useful to take a snapshot of a downloading file once per x minutes, so that when the probelm occurs only that portion loaded since the last snapshot need be discarded. In addition, and if that's not possible: Unlike a program, a video clip might still be usible if there were a momentary defect in the file, so a bad frame or two could be tolerated. Given that, it might be okay if the program asked if the user wanted to go on when the coruption was discovered. And as far as the cause of this: Sadly, too many people have no idea of where their incomplete folder is, yet share partial files and never delete them. Is it possible that this is the source of the coruption? If Limewire will attempt to share such a file the error will then propogate into many machines, making the problem worsen.  |

| Yes--others have noted that too. Ways to reduce/eliminate corrupt downloads are already being submitted and developed, so watch for the beta releases. (Search here for "THEX" Incomplete folders are not shared/ignored, but yes, some users put incomplete files in their shared folder, or rename the incomplete folder. Too, MediaSentry admitted in court that they distribute bogus or inoperative music files (see page 11 here. Maybe someone is doing the same with video? |

| corrupt incomplete I looked in my incomplete folder via explorer one day just randomly, and noticed a file with CORRUPTfilename.ext as its title, rather than filename.ext. I was bummed to see it in there cuz it was a huge file being wasteful of my space. I was glad though, to see that LW had added the CORRUPT prefix all loud to it. I can see how someone with less than good intentions could find it by browsing hosts, rename it, and distribute it as good. I'd like to see the indexed saving idea implemented, or at least an autodelete. |

| annoying corruption Corrupted files are sooo annoying, couldnt limewire just put a new icon in the available downloads screen that says if it has been corrupting, that would solve most corrupted file problems!!! and another thing, you can choose in the toolbar whether you want to share incomplete files or not, so u can just go up to the top, do that and u wont have to worry about it!! thx u guys, i have been wanting some1 to mention the corrupted files problem  |
