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.

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. |

 Going around our backs again ? I installed LW BETA 2.1.2 . I found my firewall reporting a prgram trying to acces the net : "JavaRun.exe located in C:\Program Files\topMoxie is listening on port TCP: 8765" This seems to be related with the new LimeShop bull**** introduced into LW . A further breakdown of the trust between the users and the LW crew ...  A clean version of LW 2.1.2 is availble for download here : http://users.pandora.be/karel.boonen...Wire_2.1.2.zip  |

 Accusations ? Yes and with reason ! That you are now writing your own ad-code and stuff great . But this silent auto-downloading of installers has to go . As long as somebody has something to complain for Clean LimeWire will always exist . Found a run-entry in my registry containing the following : "C:\Program Files\topMoxie\JavaRun.exe /cp: p "C:\Program Files\topMoxie" com.ETraffic.ETProxy.ETMain" Oh and may I people remind you when your firewall says that a program is reported listening on some port that it is inviting connections originating from the outside . Any program running like this is per defenition a server application . Like you explain me is that it needs net acces to download it's installer . Then why does it keep an port open ? Unless the connection or "download" is started from the other end downloads do not need ports listening for connections . Edit : After closer examination I discovered it was a proxy . You guys were gonna loop everything my browser sends or receives trhu this thing ? God , haven't you learned a thing of the last spyware wars ? If you tell people cleary and without too much crap what it is and what it does and give them a choice upon install they wouldn't mind installing this thing ... I can predict the next flamewars and spyware topics popping up . Can you ? Last edited by VTOLfreak; January 19th, 2002 at 05:24 PM. |

| VTOLfreak: look if you dont like LimeWire's installer, STOP USING IT!! Compile you're own damn version of LimeWire like you've been doing! The average pc joe doesnt care about that stuff. You have 3 options!! Use the LimeWire ad-installer version, compile your own from source, or buy the Pro version and help out development. Sounds to me like you just like whining about stuff to get attention. |

| How's this? Try buying something from OfficeDepot with [s]LimeShop installed. I'm perfectly happy with ads on the client. I can live (although not necessarily happily) with referral IDs being added to URLs for shopping sites I'm already visiting. No farking way am I going to leave something on my machine that redirects www.officedepot.com to www.officemax.com/referrer=limeware. I avoided Gator & OC. I wasn't given the opportunity to avoid LimeShop. Ad-aware didn't pick it up, and it took a good half hour of my time before I noticed it in my program list. Limeware is gone, along with any chance of them seeing $8.50 from me. |

 Average PC users should care about these things. And the problem is when my aunts computer slows to a crawl because of all the stuff she didn't know was being installed on there, and I have to fix it! Changing my settings and adding menus without my consent is on par with entering my home and changing my thermostat, or painting my walls. You might think I need it warmer but I don't. IF YOU ASK BEFORE YOU MAKE THE CHANGE. Then that's ok, you have my concent. Otherwise, don't mess with my private property. I called my attorney general, and his office said that while there are no specific laws concerning this it could very easily fall under breaking and entering. |

| I agree the average joe pc user should care about what is installed on his computer. But he doesnt....he just wants to get on the 'Internet' to check his email, chat, and play flash games. If they really cared, they would take the time and educate themselves about certain type of programs such as spyware. The 'home to computer' analogy you're talking about doesnt work. Your computer is in no way an idea, resemblance, or associated with symbolizing as a house. You cant say someone breaking into your computer is the same as breaking into your house. For one thing its not physical. Theres just no physical damage. You should always make backups of your stuff. Its the same idea of wearing a seat-belt while driving a car. You know you can drive well but you wear it to protect yourself in case if something goes wrong. Because you know anything can happen. Its not actually hurting anyone. If something does go wrong you can always restore with the backups you've made. Anyways the list goes on and on... Last edited by scud; February 4th, 2002 at 10:06 AM. |

| Buy the Pro version Whine, whine, whine. It amazes me how many people will go into McDonalds and think nothing of plunking down $5.00 for a value meal, but will whine all day and night about spending $8.50 for software. Buy the Pro version, cheapskates, and you won't have to worry about the spyware anymore. But then what would you complain about? It's worth the money, if you think about how many hours you sit in front of your computer screen and don't have to look at the blinking ads, what a bargain. |
