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.

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. |

 No wonder it being reffered to as LAMEWIRE in other circles This whole platform is absolute CRAP! I just did a general search for "*******" Out of some 30 separate results returned (total of 662 'hits') not 1 of them is a legitimate file. Most of the results don't even list any of the search text in their titles. WHAT A LOAD OF ****. __________________________________________________ Edited to comply with the House Rules.

| LW (or any other Gnutella client) can't be held responsible for fake files & crap being shared on the network. It's peer-to-peer. How is LW supposed to control what's being shared?  If Azureus is working for you, that's great...keep using it. Why bother to post a rant here? If you're not using a Gnutella client, there's no reason for you to post here.

| limewire pro has made limewire worse [quote=Reid2211;274156]Yes I was having a rant. I do (did?) like Limewire, but l will not continue to use it if I have to filter through all of that rubbish everytime I want to search for something. I don't want to rant-have been using limewire for years for music with success, however, since I bought LW Pro it seems I have the same problem as Reid-I get 600 or 700 returns that have NOTHING to do with what I am searching for. I mean Nothing!  So why is this happening is what I want to know because I want to continue with LIMEWIRE but obviously if you go out and buy the Pro after being bugged to buy it everytime you sign on and then you get worse results what's going on??Can anyone help me here? Also type in a movie and it always says the search is too specific-even if I type in one word I get back 300 videos-not related to what I am trying to find. How can I do an accurate search? Thank you. |

| YO Dave, I would suggest filtering these file extensions to help clean up a ton of crap. Go to TOOLS > OPTIONS > FILTERS > KEYWORDS and add these to block. .wma, .exe, .rar, .html, .com, .zip, .mov. After you add these to filter be sure to click apply and OK. If you decide later you don't want to block one or more of the extensions, you can go back and remove them from the filter. Try it youll like it. |

| Instructions don't work Thanks for responding but when I follow your instructions and get to filters there is then no KEYWORDS to go to as you said. Also, I'm not sure if I was clear on what's happening that NEVER happened until I bought PRO. Now when I search I get hundreds of songs not even related to what I am searching for-and I don't think the file extensions are the culprit. Re: films-if you type in DVD Movie-you cannot search specific titles but get once again hundreds of pieces of you know what amongst some films. Really wish I had never bought PRO at this point-nothing but headaches. If you can help I'd appreciate it but the last instructions ended in a deadend AND the file extensions weren't relevant .zip,.mov,.wma,etc to my problem. |

| Hey yodave, sorry i didnt give the results you where looking for but I know for my self filtering the bad extensions out helps alot. I didnt say that it was going to fix your problem it was just a suggestion. Also and this is my opinion, upgrading to pro is not the root of all evil. Ive had pro for about 6 months and pro doesnt have anything to do with all the FAKE FILES that are out there. I also think there are alot more fakes now than there were just 2 or 3 months ago. You can thank the RIAA and others for that. I also dn/ld 8 movies this weekend and they were all great files so you may need to change the way you search and also filter the bad extensions. |
