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. |

Limewire = stupid program For all you out there. Don't even bother downloading for purschase the Limewire Pro version. It will be a waste of your money. You download at the same speed as that of the regular ( non-pro) version. The bar on the bottom of the Limewire pro version says "turbo-charged", thats just a load of crap trying to convince you that you downloading faster. And this program crashes more than it downloads per hour. SO DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!! Last edited by mrpotatoman; January 28th, 2005 at 12:09 AM. |

Inexperienced User Dear LOTR Some users, like mrpotatoman, are bound to have bad experiences using LW Pro, but as you know, they tend to be in the minority rather than the majority. mrpotatoman has said nothing about his set up other than he blames everything on LW Pro, we have seen this in the past with other users who then find out that something else was causing them problems, like hardware incompatibility, spyware or viruses. I suppose that when mrpotatoman cools down he will perform a thorough examination of his PC and may well find that his rage has been misdirected. UK Bob |

Limewire Corporate After being frustrated at the same things the multitude of other users are frustrated with, I have the following questions for LW Corporate; - The ad page for LW Pro states 'Personalized Support Via EMAIL' however I still can't find the link ANYWHERE for this PERSONAL support besides this NON Personal PUBLIC forum, Please explain this missing service. - Please define 'Turbo-Charged' and I don't mean the cutesy blue indicator light as I am also a software engineer and know just how easy this is to simulate. - Every response post from moderators (seasoned or otherwise) I've read suggest the User has some tweaking/re-configuring/re-installing/restoring previous or installing newer versions/not being nice to the program or other method to try to improve their performance. This sounds like 'another not-market-ready product hits the market'. The User/Customer is forever being told what THEY are doing wrong. I do not believe I have seen one moderator post outlining a true solution to a problem, notwithstanding the outright silly questions. There is so much to be said for 'customer satisfaction' and 'value for your dollar'. My programming professor taught me a very important lesson; If you can't be there to actually tlk your client through a problem then make damn sure your 'help file' gives them the answer and does not send them into an abyss of forum rhetoric text. - For tax purposes, I require a detailed ACCURATE comparison between the free and pay version of your software. Quite sincerely, Paul Rosebush |

Paul, You can locate the support form by following these four simple steps. 1) Go to www.limewire.com 2) Click on 'Support' 3) Click on 'here' where it says, "LimeWire PRO Customer? Click here for assistance." 4) Click on the "Contact our support representative" link. We'll be glad to make it more difficult to find so that these kinds are complaints are valid, of course. You can define turbocharged by reviewing the code at the following link: http://limewire.org/fisheye/viewrep/...a?r=1.163#l499 . As you are a software engineer, this should make perfect sense. There are also numerous other places in the code that are improved for the PRO version. Again, as a software engineer, you'll feel at home reading the code to familiarize yourself with what requires changing. As with all products for a computer, there will be inevitable problems. LimeWire is downloaded over 800,000 times per week, and that is on Windows alone. It is in fact somewhat miraculous that there are as few problems as there are, and that an impersonal support forum such as this can resolve as many problems as it does. Your skills for finding answers may need some improving if you are not able to find a single answer [for any question] on this forum, as well as not being able to follow four simple links to locate PRO support. If you could explain what tax purposes require our detailing the differences in more detail than the code itself can, we'll be glad to boldface those lines of code. |

I don't work for LW. This is simply a forum. I do this as a volunteer. You obviously don't search around much before posting do you. You haven't been to LW's support pages. You haven't seen the link I so often refer to: Fixes for Limewire In general, people's issues are in regards to Java (that's what LW is made of!), or installation over the net (even OS updates can get corrupted over the net), or their preferences, or firewalls/other blocking connection, or their particular systems. And yes everybody's system is just that bit different. Sometimes it can make all the difference. That's windows for you. If you are a pro user then you would be aware of their user customer support email contact address. Unless of course, like post 1 above you didn't actually purchase LW thru LW! In which case I'd feel sorry for you. See link in my 1st post. Have you ever purchased a Microsoft product & tried to get customer service support from them. I have ... & "it sucked!" For such a major & large corporate softw co. just bouncing with $. I'm not the only mod I'm aware of who has had a bad experience with cust. support from a softw co. For them $ comes 1st, customer last. Funny how the smaller softw co.'s can give just as good if not even much better support. Quote:
LW Pro costs $18.88 so I don't know what you're on about being so serious. You can use the free version & it costs you ... well now how much is that ... um .. let me add that up ... By the way over 95% of questions asked on this forum have been asked & answered before. Pro connects to 5 UP's compared the the basic LW's 3. |

Well I'm going to put my 2 cents worth in here also. I am by far no means an expert in the software developement field, but I have worked with developers over the past 25+ years. My recent accomplishments have been with IBM on the Blue Gene/L program. I am retired now. This is the 1st time in my life I have been able to relax and help others in an informal way. I have had more than one conference with a software developer who complained about the hardware or it's design, because their programs didn't work as they wanted. Getting Hardware and software to work together is a trying and sometimes impossible task. As for this LimeWire program it works well. My personal experience with it has been enjoyable. If you do a little research now you may be able to figure out who I really am, but I will leave that to you. As far as the LimeWire staff goes and this forum I think they do an outstanding job. R.T.S. |
