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. |

 Trying to Rebuild Music Library- SAME ARTIST SEARCHS NOW GET BARELY ANY RESULTS HI I had limewire on my former computer- which crashed (#$%^) and I lost all the music I downloaded.... I reisntalled the latest version two weeks ago on my new , fairly identical Mac, and just started trying to rebuild my library---- but searches that used to get tons of results with high #'s all the way down the list now show nothing but crap- ---and after I blocked hosts and junk flagged the crap ----barely any results show up, and whatever does show up has 1 host to download from so it keeps needing more sources ??? Im talking artists I downloaded 50 songs from before- from 8 or more hosts at a time - now show no results other then spam !!! I tried removing and adding hosts.... I tried searching albums and songs instead of or with artists ... I dont know if this is an actual bug or problem that can be fixed? or maybe theres a way to target hosts more likely to have what I want??? thanks  |

 Thanks--but its not the junk- its the lack of legit Thanks much for the reply, I actually have read this and several other forum quest & answ.sessions... but ... I know how to get rid of the junk, I have keyword and host filters on, I block hosts & recognize fakes....Its just now when I block the fakes & spam hardly any legit files show up to replace it. I also know how to do diff. combos & strategies for searches ---and it worked great before, I was able to find tons of stuff for relatively popular "alternative" music, even halfway obscure bands/artists... Now...for ex. last night I did various searches for REM with/without Murmer specified , and with spam/junk blocked 2 legit songs came up in results,neither from the album ....I switched out hosts sereval times too... I mean come on, thats ridiculous?? and even artists who do bring up a fair number have like 5 songs with more than 1 host to download from. maybe its the whole leaf /ultrapeer thing, maybe I did the bulk of my former searches before they changed things- restricted or annexed connections or whatever. All I know is I cant find half of my old music and its making me sad. Oh, ARCHER PREWITT I HARDLY KNEW YA. Thanks for looking out beaneyedcat |

| I feel your pain [I'm air high-fiving you]. I have a nearly identical situation and frustration, and it's not just with music files. Today I tried disabling OOB Searching, Chat, and Player, and that *seemed* to make my searches a little more similar to what they used to be. Not sure which if any of those changes might've done it, if any. Could've been a coincidence. Like you I'm beginning to suspect it may have something to do w/ change(s) in the topology of the network and LW, such as the ultrapeer thing f'rinstance. They seem to have solved a lot of the problems LW used to have, and they say they've made the network more efficient, but I'm wondering if they've also reduced our access to the wider network somehow, in the process. Good luck, and pls post again in this thread if you ever figure out how to get back to those old search results. |

| Just to keep this discussion alive, I have noticed the same thing. After returning from a trip in early July the whole character of the search results changed from what I would get before I left. I could always get relatively obscure artists and obscure songs from popular artists in addition to the very popular ones. These results would have a trashcan icon next to them but more often than not they would download as easily as the results with stars next to them. Now all I get is results with four stars. I changed no settings and downloaded no new versions. I wonder what happened? |
