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 How can I cancel this and get my money back?

Hey guys,

I signed up for this deal last night thinking that for $30 bucks I could download music and software to my hearts content. I can't even get the thing to connect. My firewalls are disabled, I didn't see a folder to delete, and I don't understand the rest of the instructions on the forums....I just don't want to put this much effort into it...I thought it would be simple and its not. How do I talk to an employee....? Someone who can just give me my money back?

Hmm looks you have been scammed. The basic version of LimeWire is free.

See this link. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

You should contact your debit/credit company as soon as possible, and explain what happened. They may be able to stop the transaction.

Where did you get this subscription from, What website.

Default mymusicinc.com a scam???

MyMusicInc.com is the site where I purchased limewire for 33.90. They rated other download sites and this one was rated the highest for 24/7 support. I did a google search using keywords "download music" and it came up first. It seems very above board . I was just messing around last night and wanted to download some music; something I have never done before. I didn't realize it was so easy to get scammed. They sent me a receipt and everything.

Duh

The following is an interchange I had with mymusicinc.com right after I read the post to my thread and found out that limewire basic is free.


You might need to disable your firewall and anti-virus software long enough
to allow the LimeWire software to download. As soon as it has finished
downloading, you can reactivate your firewall and anti-virus software.
Then, configure your firewall settings so as to allow LimeWire access to the
network. We do not commonly have problems with any compromise of security.

The small membership fee is to cover our administration, operating and
support costs. This is so that we can provide you with access to all the
software you need to search, download, play and burn your favorite music,
while also being able to provide you with friendly, 7x24 technical support.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.


Sincerely,

Marshall
My Music, Inc.
support@mymusicinc.com

Note: For all support requests, feedback, inquiries, etc, please be sure to
leave the content of the email included in any responses. A trail of the
communication exchange will enhance the support process in allowing
different members of our team the ability to quickly learn about the issue
at hand.

I'm sorry to here you got scammed.

My suggestion is you uninstall whatever version you downloaded from them, and download from the "official" LimeWire site here. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

The forum here is not really a support site. Some of the members of the forum volunteer to help others. We get nothing in return except thank you every now and then.

The forum is in no way associated with LimeWire, it's more like a selfhelp group.

7x24 technical support
What 24/7 support? They make a killing & then send their victims here out of their way, after they've loaded their bank accounts with your money. We do wonder why we should bother but for pity! This is a general p2p forum not specifically a LW forum. They are SO CHEAP & if only I could meet one of them face to face they'd learn the local ways & customs! And those 'individuals' would be be long forgotten. Just oportunists that's all they are! Scum is too lighter a word for them! No hiding here but I don't live there!

Actually there's certain laws here that would apply but don't apply in the usa unfortunately. But ... Actually there's been recent test cases that have brought usa scammers under our law due their showing their heads on our shores. So they don't even need to have an office here for us to take action against them. So I wonder how long it takes before action is taken against them from here! It will only take a few references to a few people if it's found out locals have been victimised. On our side we have government support.

These scam sites tend to have short lives. Quick money & run. It's roughly equivalent to snatching somebody's handbag & running.

Default here's how to cancel mymusicinc.com fees for downloading limewire

If, like me, you paid $49 to mymusicinc.com and, like me, you feel ripped off because the software is FREE, you can go to this page and submit your request for a refund:

http://www.mymusicmember.com/cancell...est.asp?co=mmi

That should do the trick.
