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 Looks like I have BEEN HAD TOO, and I'm NO Newbie

I have just NEVER Used any of the Music download services(Always been too busy with business), so today I decided to give it a try, as I am also a Wholesaler, and just got a Bunch of MP3 Players and already downloaded all of my cd's to one of them (60Gb), and there is just sooo much space left---Thanks for the advice to the NEW GIRL, as I too will follow it and CC the FBI site also, as I am an EX Detective for the B&O RR, Ret as a Sgt with Commendations---Took one in the Back from some Punk stealin from the trains.
Thanks again,

Default Yep, they got me to.

I thought I'd get onto this music download business and friends suggested Limewire, sounds good to me. Did a Google search and went to the first entry which was All-Limewire.com/MusicDownloads. Although I was told it was free I thought I might get something extra buy parting with a few $$, SCAMMED !! The sight looked so convincing too. I immediately got onto my credit card company who said that it has to appear on my statement before they can look at it, waited 4 days for it to appear got onto cc company-------sorry buddy, can't help you. Only hope they don't make it a regular charge.

Yo Check Out this .swf video clip that was made by a person who possibly works for sharedmovies.com that shows you the members area of sharedmovies.com to try and suck you into subscribing to their so-called download service.

Copy and paste this address http://www.Movie-2.com/SecretVideo-04

WARNING the clip will redirect you to sharedmovies.com at the end of the clip so be careful!!
I Had to give my email address to sharedmovies.com to get the "secret video",

Default Help me somebody

Well first of all I fell for 23.00$ fee from mp3downloadhq.com scam about 2 years ago...they offer a bunch of free p2p programs i.e. limewire, bearshare, and various others. my problem is that just yesterday i had to restore my comp and but a year or so ago i had upgraded my limewire to the limewire pro version, so now when i try to put it back on my comp, my email account is not recognized. Well now i am just stuck with the plain old limewire, whereas i really liked the pro a lot better... , any suggestions?

3 Weeks ago I almost took out the lifetime subscription to sharedmovies.com I got sucked in by the video then I found this site I just want to say how many people did gnutellaforums.com save from being scammed.

Since you've been scammed with that "Pro" version, you have to live with the free basic version for now.
And in case you'll consider to upgrade to the real 'LW-pro version', then make sure to purchase it only from the official LW site:
