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.

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. |

 Where do I find the Terms of Service for LimeWire? I can't find the Terms of Service for LimeWire anywhere. My problem is, I am not satisfied with the service and the advertisement indicates a 100% satisfaction guarantee. They are supposedly "committed to complete 100% satisfaction" so I'd like to find out what they can do to live up to this guarantee. The reason I am not satisfied is that there is very little rare music available from the 70's and 80's that I don't already have. I understand that they do not make refunds, so what else can they do for me?  |

 Exactly where did you get your LW? Did you buy pro from the 'Official' LW website or were you scammed. Pro costs $18.88 & if you visit the official site I haven't seen anything there that says 100% satisfaction! Go here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml & have a look around. Their support section is quite large & they explain about many things about sharing, etc. Also see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751 if you paid more than $18.88 Knowing how to use LW helps. I get a hold of rare music files very often from 60's, 70's, etc. |

| 100% satisfaction guarantee Thanks for the info. I found Lime Wire through a series of links back on 12/10 but I don't know exactly how I got there. I do know I paid $34.90 for 2 years including DVD downloads. I am looking at a printout I made from a Lime Wire ad that reads $0.97 a month for a 2 year membership. DVD downloads are an extra $4.95. There is a gold-seal type of symbol which reads "100% Satisfaction Guarantee". I don't believe it to be a scam, since I do have access to Lime Wire. The link you sent me too doesn't tell me anything about the Terms of Service. So I still don't know any more than before except that I paid more than I should have, for some reason. |

| I found it - through my PayPal account. The site address wasn't found, but the e-mail address is info@my-free-music.com. I sent an e-mail asking how I can get a friend to sign up through them, but I have a feeling I'm not going to get a reply. Anyway, I'm a member of LimeWire and have been able to find some stuff I was looking for. I'll just chalk it up to experience. Thanks again. |

| Well considering you paid that amount of money for the free version of LW. And the official name of LW is Limewire not Lime Wire. You either received the free version of LW or a variation version by somebody else. Either way. You've paid for downlding from other people just like you & me when you could have done it for free by going to the official LW website first. So how many 4.7 GB dvd's have you seen available? None right! Do you have a copy of their manual? That site is http://www.my-free-music.com/ & You'll find reference to it HERE (click on link) by jrwaits47. Those people are con artists who are making money out of the true Limewire. They have nothing what-so-ever to do with LW other than saying you can get all these downlds if you buy membership & then direct you to the free LW version. Quote:

| How many more are going to be ripped off? It seems like every week some poor uninitiated internet user shells out money for nothing, thinking they have joined a club for life, got unlimited downloads or bought into some other unbelievable offer. One of the things, I believe, why new internet users keep getting caught out is that all these "rip-off" stories are scattered throughout different Gnutella Forums, making them difficult to find. If all these stories were gathered together, put into one forum under one title and made accessible (searchable) via Google (and other search engines) then they could be used as an "anti-rip-off" resource. So when new internet users go searching for the unobtainable, and end up finding adverts designed to part them from their money, they will also find these tales of woe. That way they may be tempted to read about other users experiences before buying a load of "nothing" from the con artists. UK Bob Last edited by ukbobboy01; January 11th, 2005 at 12:39 PM. |

| It's one thing to stick these stories into a forum, but best would probably require the payment of money somewhere down the line to combat it; ie: that these pages are linked to google/& whatnot search engines so if people search for these things they get both in their search results. Well ... that comes from a barely experienced web designer. lol  At this point I don't know all the ins & outs & linking to search engines other than paying for the xtra results. Sure you can link a web page with certain keywords but it just doesn't compare to paying for deliberate connection with a major search engine.  Any ideas?Phantom (scam) sites can scam & run. That's another part of the issue. |

| Anti-Rip-Off Resource Dear LOTR You are right, linking a web page to Google, or whatever, will cost money. It may be too much for Gnutella to take on the scammers, they must generate a lot of advertising revenue for the search engines, if they pay (which I doubt). However, if possible, I still think there should be some sort of anti-rip off forum/resource, if not now then sometime in the future. UK Bob |
