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. 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. |

 Concerns about Limewire Hi folks I'm a bit concerned because when I signed up with Limewire I find that my final billing is over $50 and I was not expecting that. Also they said that Iwas being charged for the pro version and some malware program which I do not want. My limewire program is called 360 SharePro is this the "pro" version? If not do I have to download the pro and then they bill me again? If I do not download the Netspy program amI still charged? I also find it a bit odd that there are these forums and yet there's no actual Limewire billing support area that I can address my concerns at. I do appreciate any clarification at all Huck  |

| concerns about Limewire First, let me thank foolofthehill for his heads up about members music area download. They charge for what is free here. I was going to pay $50 for the pro version. Surprisingly, when I called them they reversed the charges immediately (or so they say) we'll see when I get my billing. Since then I signed on with Limewire and all is well. Once again thanx Huck |

| The websites http://www.download-it-free.com and http://www1.free-music-share.com are operated by the same company and according to what is on Google both are scams. Limewire is only one of the organisations targeted. It is believed to operate from India. There seem to be a lot of people complaining that they have been scammed out of usually around fifty dollars but I found no reports that anyone had successfully got their money back. If they really are based in India it should be possible to find out exactly where and no reason not to make a formal complaint to that area Police Force. Various India Police Forces have web pages with contact details. At the bottom of the ‘download it free’ page is has the disclaimer “This website has no affiliation whatsoever with the owner of this software program, and provides only a link to the software program. Copyright 2005 Download-it-Free.com All rights reserved” You can’t get an address or telephone number without first committing to pay them but Huck 1680 you say you (having paid) got a number to call them: perhaps you would publish it here. Hope you are successful in getting your money back. |

| Tesl Absolutely, I called and the rep was very helpful, he did a little dance at first but when I told him that the true Limewire was free and only a fraction to upgrade to Pro compared to what he and his company were charging, he put me on hold and then came back to tell me that I would be refunded 100%. The phone number that I got was 1 866-488-0791. I believe that the reason I got a refund so easily is the short period of time between my ordering and my wish for refund. I'd ordered it tues. night and asked for a refund Wed. morning. They then sent me an e-mail confirming the refund as well. So this time it ended well |

| Don't trust that email. Verify it with your credit card company or whoever you used to pay them. Don't wait for the bill or the short delay might end up being the technicality they use to refuse to refund your money. Remember, you are dealing with international criminals this time, not an honest retailer in your own country. |

| See the new thread "I Got Scammed. Goodbye $70" by Synik_1979 above. A search for Euclid Networks at Basseterre brings up (amongst other hits) a site called "AccessMp3Music.com". I would guess that that site is operated by the same company as the two sites in this thread because the pages look like they have the same designer - similar colours, similar layout, identical member log-in.
