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.

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. |

 !!!!!Hey i have a big problem!!!! Hey i have been wondering for a while about if limewire is legal, And as you say on these forums it is, well the software is but what about the files we download of limewire. Ino this is illegal because of copyright laws and because companys that produce the files are not getting any money out of limewire. Is this true? If it is shouldnt people know more clearly about the risks of downloading off limewire. Please anser back Harvey  |

| There's both copyright & non-copyright material out there that can be downlded. As for the legal situation it depends on your country/state re: downlding copyright material. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/ftc.shtml It's up to the individual to decide which/what they downld.

| I'm sure many people have let a friend borrow a CD so that friend could download specific songs off of it so they could save a little money and that's what I think of LimeWire.  |

| The same issue with a friend... Quote:
Is the government tracking every I.P address to prosecute us now is? Man, this post I just write is funny, but it is scary and of serious interest to everyone now. I bet that everyone that downloads anything from the US from limewire is going to be tracked, even if you put firewalls or whatever and have a DSL wireless connection. So rare, your thoughs moderators? If u have a suggestion, valid suggestion...please post it to me in private. Thanks. Joaquin |

| In my experience with the FTC and national copyright laws...Limewire is just trying to stay alive and not be eaten to be shutdown completely. Now, they are just doing good what Napster forgot to do when it started. They are preveting fro mgetting shut-down as better as possible by showing you many probable causes of downloading. In effect, that pop-up: Quote:
But if you are in the USA, you are I.P address is something that is being tracked and recorded from the moment you downloaded Limewire version. It is my knowledge that if you use cable modem, you can easily be tracked, and if you use a DSL modem...you can't be tracked so easily. If you are in either one of those like almost 98% of the US & international population, repair your I.P I guess. Was this post meant to break U.S rules, NO...it was meant to clarify some thoughs and so skepticism related to limewire. I should NOT be hold against my right concerning limewire use and/or am responsible for its users. Nocturno Last edited by Nocturno; July 30th, 2005 at 01:38 PM. |

| A while ago I downloaded a program once and like an idiot I registered the software but the second time I opened the program a window pops up saying my serial number will be suspended until the matter is fully resolved. Scared me into wiping my hard drive of many files/programs but having said that I don't care if Limewire is legal or not, many copyrighters make more profit then they are even entitled to IMO so I see this as a balance. |
