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.

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. |

 Mis-representation I normally wouldn't waste money on p2p stuff, but I have been trying to find a song (******) and haven't had any luck... after visiting the site and leaving without purchasing, i received an e-mail which had a link to an alledged free search. I did the search, it indicated that the song was available on your system. with no luck anywhere else I paid my money and downloaded this mess y'all call software and did my search again... the exact same search phrase (*****), but now that you have my money the search turns up nothing. with your utter lack of support, how do i go about getting my money back?.

| I got scammed 2....NOT LW's fault!! Got Scammed too!!! BtW...I've been reading about all these scams for paying for your site on LW...then i realized I paid for it too!!!! I found a site called GETFlics...Lifetime membership was $35.88 with a $25 Best Buy gift card...I figuered $10 for lifetime is great...the review for this site (located across from the Empire State Blgd) was rated very high...I didnt know your site was free... but now I see I think I was taken also since your site is free... I went back to Kazaa before LW and was attacked by pop ups all over....had to remove the DL of kazaa... LW is great if I can overcome the bogus ads hidden in the movies and clips....but by reading all these forums i'm learing about the size of files and tricks etc... The music I will try later but should be simple... I also read most of the sites you guys mention in the article on bogus sites...what a list!!! I went back into Google under the Free Movie Downloads I used as a search and there were a ton of scam sites.... My idiot friend got me to put Firefox in a to stop pop ups and I went there to search... Live and learn.... Hope I get the $25 Best Buy Card... I might get arrested if it turns out to be a fake.... haahhhha Great info from you guys.....have read all that I can to fill my eye ... at least for today... |

| Thanks koufax07, Thanks for your post!! I knew I'd been scammed but I didn't know the nature of it. I'm a very busy person and I haven't had time to delve into it. Then, with RaaF being so short winded (guess I should've followed the link) and Peerless being barely literate (apparently incapable of much more than name calling), I didn't see much help coming from this arena. You've provided a light in the tunnel.  My humble apologies to LW. I, too, have found much to appreciate in LW, but have not yet found my song there. I did finally manage to find it on a 45 at VEPO. Guess I'll have to buy it and digitize it. Thanks again. Now that I know the nature of the scam, I know how to fight it.... |

 as a follow up I contacted the CCBill ...the place that charged me for GetFlics...they had me for 1 yr instead of lifetime membership...told me i had to contact GetFlics to get my money back since it was done thru them... Told GetFlics it was for a year instead of lifetime and I wanted my money back ... They told me it was for lifetime membership...sorry for the inconvenience... So I wrote back ...i want out anyway since it's under the 30 day money back guarantee... Butttttttttttttttt... I read the small print in the agreement for signing up for this place... Get THIS!!! It said it was $35.88 for a lifetime membershio which was for Tech support on how to burn discs etc and the free download site was thrown in for free (LW) What a way to get around this!! I just replied to them so I'll let you know if I get my money back!! |

| The 1st thing to do as is suggested in the link Peerless gave you in the 1st place is to cancel/question the transaction on your credit card/bankcard. Contact your bank asap. |

| Re: Mis-representation The developers of LimeWire, or any other Gnutella client, are in no way responsibile for the content that is shared on the gnutella network. If you really need a song that cannot be found with LW, either try again later, or take a walk down to the fu*king store and buy it. If you paid at and downloaded LimeWire from the offical LimeWire site, then you did not get screwed. Also, LimeWire is in no way responsibile for all of the scam sites out there; LimeWire is a FREE program. When you pay for the Pro version you are getting tech support, but it is mosly to support further development of the program. So, if you get screwed on another site take the advice given above, and try not to make the same mistake again. ALWAYS do research on a product before you spend a single dollar, and make sure that the URL is HTTPS when you pay and not just HTTP. Good luck. deepblue
