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.

Hmm, and here I was thinking posting about warez on here was against the TOS? Keep bragging Underdog because the more you do, the more an admin will see your illigal post and ban your sorry ***. I like it when retard noobs like yourself brag, keep it up, because eventually will mean you'll be banned for illigal activity.

Not to mention that because these are the Limewire forums, they'd be smart to come right out and sue you for admitting to obtaining one of their products illegally. Limewire is not to be used for downloading copyright protected products, which Limewire Pro is.

actually..these are not officially LW forums..this is the Gnutella Forums, which supports all presently active clients (ok, so we tend to ignore the Morpheus section)...and said users post is the reality..said file can be found floating around..and the responses have been accurate also..it is dangerous to play around with .exe files on p2p...ANY p2p client/network/server....

UnderDog28's attitude of AV scanning is rather short sighted..obviously that one doesn't realize that a scanner is only as good as its definitions...and before a definition can be added, it must be observed as being one...hence, its a bad idea to think that just because you scanned it and it came up clean, that its really clean...I've had files in archives for over a year, and suddenly had them come up as virii infested...and that's a fact...

THE GOLDEN RULE OF DOWNLOADING: everything is your fault..you downloaded it, and you used it...be prepared to reformat and do a clean install at any moment (been there, done that many times)..sure, a jerkwad hacker who wants to control the world added in a trojan/virii/etc, but YOU are the one who executed it....

I bet his AV is a hacked version as well. May he get zapped with a thousand viruses for being a dumbass bragger. Lets see how long it will take him to come back whining about a virus?

limewire pro isnt much different than limewire. you probably barely recognize the speed. the only reason i can think of for anyone doing it is the annoying popup at the beginning.

the only reason to get pro, IMHO, is to keep LW developing the project and offering the basic for free.

What these fools dont realize is by using a hacked version that may contain worms/virus/trojans/spyware and open backdoors is the fact that they are causing the network to be flooded with virsus/trojans/worms etc that they b*tch about getting. Gnutella is now a virus breeding ground.

THERE IS NO BLOODY diff. between PRO or basic. You are STILL downloading off the Gnutella Network. Linewire is only the app connects you. I dont care what the app claims to do or how fast you go.

You can only go as fast as your ISP allows you too and some are even blocking P2P use. Retards will just never learn.
