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 The Thing Is...

Quote:

I have no qualms about paying for a piece of software if it did what it was advertised to do, no matter if it cost only a few dollars or hundreds of dollars. But, I'm definately not going to pay for something that is buggy, even if it only costs a dollar. I guess some people are more tolerant and are willing to pay, no matter how much hair they have to pull out...*L*...
... You paid for Windows didn't you?! And tell me is Windows always working? Is it even working o.k. compared to MacOS X or Linux? That makes you think (I hope)...

by the way: LimeWire is an open source project. this means everyone can look at, edit and compile the code... Without any spyware.

there are people who help making the code better by reporting bugs. and others use their programming skills to help out on the source.
SEE: LimeWire is not created by a greedy little company. In fact (as Taliban said before) the LimeWire developers are not even paid to do this. Sure some of them do have a Job at LimeGroup but they work on other things too. there are others who just do it for fun.

The questions asked (especially by the people who are always angry at the developers) are stupidious.
Alot of people post something like this:
I can't connect! Please help.
Or:
I downloaded 2.4 (non pro) and when I click on application I get the following box;

InstallShield
command line parameters
/L Language Id
/S Hide Initalize dialog
for silent mode use :/s
/v/qn
/vparameters to MsiExec.exe.....

Most of the time the problem lies in something else than Limewire. But it would still be helpfull to know what operating system one uses or which limewire version or if a firewall is running. because than it easier to help.
I would answer with something covering up the standard (non limewire) problems. for the first question a firewall (which I don't know if it is in use) might be the problem or the internet settings of the user or the ISP of the user. 2nd question. the installer was corrupted during the download. redownloading and installing will solve the problem...
See: Limewire has some couple houndreds source files with probably more than a million lines of code. If the error reports are not even as specific as to which operating system is used or when the problem occours no one can find the bug.

and I think the developers should not waste their time answering on the questions given above. because alot of people including me are doing this. and the developers stick to those error reports which include information about operating system and a precise error description.

AND most important if people blindly posting here would ever look around in the forums before they ask they would most likely not need to ask their question. because someone asked it before already. that would be faster for them and less time consuming for those who answer. if they don't get an answer it's just bad luck... or maybe we just got tired of the question. most people even get the always same answers on the always same questions - although it's all posted in the thread above...

If you like the so called 'support' for bearshare better - don't wait... get bearshare. it's a free world.

MAHALO

As Kath said there are super mods!

Did you ever tried to change your name to moderator, or super moderator or administrator?

I think these names are protected.

Lightbulb Re: Where Are The Moderators?????

Moderators does their job real well.. E.g. closing all Spyware threads... Oh, swearing? Doesn't matter to them, unless some geeks figure TopMoxie included by Limewire is coded by Limewire coders too...

Wondering the time it will take to remove this post, heh

But what I see on these forums now is saddening and in some cases very inappropriate. What I am referring to is the profanity being used, not just from visitors, but also from Senior Members (not necessary to mention any names), the ones that are supposed to be here to help. The flaming, degrogatory remarks, and responses that are just in bad taste. I could list numerous examples, but thats not necessary either, just read and you will see what I mean. By the way, you are aware that these are "public" forums, and are visited not only by adults, but also minors. Would you use profanity in a public place?

I'm a firm believer in freedom of speech, but I get the feeling that some folks have lost contact with what these forums are all about.

So my question is, "Where Are The Moderators?"

Oh, and yes, I will continue to visit here, in hopes that after wading through all the garbage, I will find something helpful. And before I get flamed, because I'm not registered, my reponse is, no thank you...:-)
