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.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7.

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.

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.

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. |

 Why?.... This is getting beyond a joke now. Hi all, Time for a rant, I'm afraid. OK, I know Limewire is free unless you use the Pro version like I do. I know we get to watch movies and stuff for free. I can't complain about that 'cos free is good. What I CAN have a rant about is the content of the stuff I download. I'll explain. I wanted to download the movie "********" with ********. Put that in the search area and dozens of available downloads appeared appeared. I knew from past experience what may happen so I clicked on 6 of them and downloaded them all. What were the results? 3 porn movies. 2 x The ****** movie 1 x The ******** episodes. OK, I know that some of the people I downloaded from are only sharing files they downloaded themselves but c'mon. How long does it take to notice it's the wrong title, go to the file where it is uploaded from and change to the proper name? The bad part too is that all the people who try to download it from me will think that I'm the culprit. But the main question is............. Why the hell put the wrong title on the film in the first place? OK, Rant over. I feel a bit better now. Have a stress free day on me. Steve Last edited by Sleepless; August 6th, 2008 at 04:22 PM.  |

| true, the answer to that lies in the users themselves. at first i thought you were going to start blaming limewire for the content.   |

| Sorry. I didn't mean to give that impression at all. Far from it. I am delighted to have found Limewire and I have absolutely no hesitation in passing the word. The problem is a very small minority of the users who act maliciously and another small percentage who can't be bothered to change the name to the proper title. The thing is that you only need to put the wrong title on one film and it spreads like wildfire. I had over 40 people downloading the film from me before I renamed it. So within 3 or 4 layers, you have 1000's of instances of the wrong film being downloaded. Grrrrrrrr |

| Re previewing files. Hi, I am aware of the feature but when I tried to use it on these "films" I got a pop-up window saying there was a problem viewing the files. I get this a fair bit. What happens I thought, maybe wrongly, is that the file needed codecs that were not available in the preview. I have downloaded several films with this pop-up and no preview available but when I click to play the full thing, (after virus scans etc) using VLC Media player, it works fine. |

| usually on avi files, you cant preview them because (i think) the beginning and the end of the file are needed to play. also, scanning any audio or video format isnt neccisary, but its not harmfull. viruses cannot be added to these formats since they use codecs (a type of format security sandbox that can only execute audio/video databits that is not executable on any system) they are kind of like .txt files that only have words in them, and thus cannot be executed. but wma/wmv files can be set to use the DRM license acquisition to have YOU install malware, viruses, spyware/adware and other nasty things onto your computer. i would recommend not downloading these types at all.. and most spam is generated with these formats. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=31862 Last edited by ultracross; August 6th, 2005 at 05:54 AM. |

| Hi, I just want to make it clear that the pop-up I mean is NOT the same as the licence one. This one is purely giving information. |

| I understand how it feels when you download something and it turns out to be some stupid porn thing. I was trying to find pictures of video game characters. I did find pictures about them but it was of them being raped and whatnot. Needless to say I was NOT impressed.  |
