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.

Unhappy New to this & Blonde

Hi there

New to this and very confused. I wanted to start watching & downloading movies ect. I joined MovieAdvanced last night and it told me to download Limewire, I got the pro version. I have Windows Xp on a Compaq N600c Laptop. I use NTL/Freedom Broadband 1 speed I think.

I am trying to download an episode of Lost, it's fine looks like a few hours to complete until all this uploading starts, whats all that about. I have nothing downloaded to share ! It looks like people uploading what I am downloading & it slows the speed from about 22 to 4 !

I also thought I could just watch stuff not just download it ?

Bit worried about sharing too, can someone see all my stuff ? Is it safe ? What if I log off and their no finished ?

What was the point of joining MovieAdvanced ? Could I have just bought Limewire ?

Can someone give me some advice please

Thanks
xxxDxxx

Hi welcome to limewire 1st off you have been scammed, how much did you pay and more than likely you only have the basic version not pro.
2nd dont name the file its against the forum rules and you will get blasted for it.
3rd you can only dl files to watch them its a p2p program
4th when people are uploading from you they need as many connections to the file as possible, so even if its partially dl it all helps.....

Thanks for helping, Still confused

I paid about £30 to join MoviesAdvanced for unlimited membership. It was from there I went to the Limewire site & chose to be upgraded to Limewire PRO from the site and it says Pro on the download & I have a receipt from Limewire. It was an exta £10.

2nd dont name the file its against the forum rules and you will get blasted for it.

Do you mean the name of the TV show. Sorry

3rd you can only dl files to watch them its a p2p program.

What can I do to just watch suff ?

4th when people are uploading from you they need as many connections to the file as possible, so even if its partially dl it all helps.....

Can I stop them doing that so my download finishes within a reasonable time ?

You have definately been scammed you can only get limewire from its official site and the basic is free and pro costs $18.88US, so you need to contact your cc company asap and cancel the transaction, tell them you have been a victom of fraud...

Whatever that site said about watching movies, you cant you have to dl them......

By files I did mean the movie/show you cant name them.....

Dont stop the uploads this helps you download, so without it you will probably get slower speeds.....

You are so nice, many thanks.

I have disputed the payment to MovieAdvance. I paid through PayPal so they may be able to refund me the £35 I paid.

I upgraded to Pro from the limewire site and it was $18 which is about £10. My receipt is from Limewire so that ok.

Thanks again

xxxDxxx

Sure I will be back with more questions !

Default UL while you are DL

i don't know about movies, but with music you can un-check the box in (tools)(options)(uploads)(basic) that dis-allows partial sharing. then, share it after it's done downloading.
