Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

If asterix means, a Dot, then yes

If you are only looking for, Say, mp3 you can add other extensions eg.. .mov
.wmv Look at what the file extensions for the most spam results are & add them. THIS is a temp thing, then remove them when you have finished

Bill Hi.
All Those search results returned in that link,
Can be stopped by one little word ".wma" put in the search filter, If That seems like Rocket Science to you, Then get off P2P

P.S... IM watching You. L/W is our baby, Try reading the manual, Learn how to use L/W, Then you can enjoy Downloading/Uploading.
That link is just PROPER GANDER so delete it, Your just helping the Spammers.
Peace.

Hi Bill.
If someone actually WANTS to find a .wma file, & let me add, I have many Good
.wma files that I share. You simply remove from the filter list the extension .wma

Don't look at the filter like a fixed thing, its an adjustable tool
If Im looking for mp3 format (for my mp3 player) Why sift through hundreds of files I already No I don't want.
If I want .wma files, then I add .mp3 & whatever other Formats that many spam results come through under.

You Say!!
"And if its so easy, why doesn't limewire filter these garbage files by default?"

Because LimeWire IS, AN OPEN INFORMATION SHARING (P2P) program. OPEN being the point.
They are looking out for your RIGHT to choose, What files, (Information) you require.
e.g. The Mail man should not be chastised, because he delivered your
item,that you chose from the catalog, & now its not what you thought it would be, You chose it.
LimeWire wish to make things easy for you, So they provide a filter for all to use.
THATS WHERE YOU COME IN.
Peace.

Evidently, it isn't that simple to just leave that nonsense out. There have always been fools on this planet and there always will be, concerning stupid files like those "pranked" files and other stuff that I don't think should even be on LW. I have enough trouble trying to find songs without all those porno files popping up. I mean, who cares about (gross subject here)? Imho, I couldn't care less.

=====================================
Cusomer Service Reply
=====================================
LimeWire is software that allows users to connect directly to other users'
computers, via the Gnutella network, and share files with them. It is not a
music service, we do not have any members, nor do we make any such indication, anywhere on our website.

We have no foreknowledge of, nor control over, what users decide to share over the Gnutella network, we do not place any files on the network for users to download, nor do we make any guarantee that you will find the files you are searching for.

Firewalls are not the cause of every LimeWire issue. "Need more sources" is
already addressed in our FAQ:
http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...faq.shtml#dow1

Please provide a clear, detailed description of your problem, so I can better
assist you. In addition, if you are getting an error message, you will need to
include it in your response, exactly as it appears on your screen, as well as
the exact moment at which you received the message. To learn about peer-to-peer file sharing, and the Gnutella network, please visit:

Thanks,

Default you guys didn't understand Prank ?

I was downloading last night and ran across 3 or 4 Steven Segal, etc gets prank call...I was searching Sesame Street songs - I think that the person who posted the original thread doesn't understand how the search engine works and why he's seeing these pranks in the response.
