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 Skins

I would like to ask if it would be possible to create a skin for limewire that looks like the Napster Skin, I like the look of napster but i dont like the program, if limewire had a skin you could download that looked like the napster layout it would be great. Just a suggestion though. Thanks.
Matt

Yellow line at top of search, might be nice for new users, but most people must know where to find LW homepage to get fresh download of LW. Or is 4.12.11, I try now intended for VISTA users who by now getting useed to restrictions?

I'm relatively new to P2P, some of these ideas I've noticed have already been listed. For one, 'Limit number of slots a particular file can take'. I noticed that was on the 'list' since 2004? Moments after downloading a 'gem', a 600+ meg file, 15 users were instantly downloading it. Since this is a several hour u/l, everything else I have was basically unavailable. This one feature, or lack thereof, has made getting this file, and others like it, a real problem as very few hosts want to dedicate their systems to this one file for 1/2 the day per user of what will end up taking several weeks until this file gets around. But no one wants to host it for this reason, It is probably one of the most important features that desperately needs implementation. IMHO

As a result, this and many others like it, are rare finds. What's more, not a single Limewire user was connected. Bearshare, Snaz-illa (?), morp-somthing was scarfing up all my bandwidth. All of their clients were like sticky magnets, I'd kill their uploads and they would almost instantly re-connect. I was happy to see that even though I selected this file as no longer share-able, it allowed the uploads to continue until finished. It really irked that I couldn't browse any of their systems, so how could they see mine?

No, but perhaps a 'Reserve ___ slots for Limewire Users: (0-15)' 15 means you'd only let Limewire users connect.

No, that's a programmers question for sure ;-) (and I resemble that remark). If you get a particular version that works, the features or options you use work well, leave well enough alone. You shouldn't force people to upgrade to what may be a buggie version just to get a slot.

No. About the time I get to Ultrapeer status, Windoze locks up and I have to reboot, forcing me back to leaf.

Good idea. Share and share alike.

Good idea.

Good idea.

Hmmm, this would be tricky. Some files are rather large, besides if there are u/l slots available, does it matter? Maybe he'll keep the files 'shared' and get more hosting,

Just a few first-timer rambings, ignore if needed.

Default Password Required

Is it possible to set up a password to log into the Limewire program?

For those of us who have kids who should be doing their homework and not messing around on the computer downloading music, etc. it would be nice to have a log in to access this program.

Kind Regards

Default Allow disabling of torrent handling

I appreciate that a lot of requests for the inclusion of torrent support have been acknowledged and that the feature has been added. However, I am someone(and I am sure there are plenty more like me) that prefers to use another dedicated torrent program that delivers significantly better results. I love using LW for certain things but I think it would also make sense to allow the torrent handling function to be enabled/disabled.

The main reason I say this is because LW keeps steeling the default setting away from my other program(uTorrent). If it were enabled by default at install, but then had a disable function, this would keep everybody happy.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

I would really love an option to filter out certain file formats in the Search engine. For example, I don't have Quicktime installed on my computer and really don't intend to. I'd love to be able to exclude all Quicktime files when I do a search. They just clutter up my options.

Hi Alkuna,
You can add mov files to your keyword filter...they won't appear in your search results any more You can do the same for any extension that you don't want to see!
Check the threads below for more info & tips about using the filter.
