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.

Default Wasted $24.95 ?????

Hi all,

Not really a whinge, but would appreciate an explanation.

Been using Limewire for several years now, enjoyed the benefits so purchased Limewire PRO some time ago, paid my $24.95 and was happy.

Started up Limewire tonight, received a "new update available" message.

Updated to version 4.14.10 and now back to Limewire basic !

I appreciate Limewire a lot, so will pay another $24.95 to upgrade again, but it would have been nice to have been informed at the time of upgrading.

However, this then opens another question - does Limewire PRO actually work any better/faster than basic ?

Any responses appreciated.

it gets more connections so it gets more results and faster downloads but you payed for LW pro if your 6 months haven't expired when you go to DL pro in the top right corner it says already payed for pro click that put in your email address you used when you purchased then you should be back in business.

Thanks Mich, but more than 6 months ago so my time is up !

Main point is that it would have been good to have a warning box when upgrading telling me this.

Don't think I'll be the only one caught out by this, best get the credit card out again

There is an option in LW settings to allow to be informed of updates. Also, if you bookmark your Personal Pro Download page & you know you are getting near then end of your 6 months, they will offer a small discount for continueing. At least I presume they are still doing this. And recently they offered the option of 12 months for just an extra US $10.

Pro gives connections to more Ultrapeers. Allows downloads from more peers per file. And has a better search function for the rarer files (can reach further into the network.) But that won't be noticed when searching for common files. Of course there's also not that annoying upgrade window that Basic users get when opening LW.

I have trouble remembering last week, let alone 6 months ago !

To be honest I'm happy to pay what is in reality a small amount for the amount of stuff I've downloaded over the years.

There's no such thing as a free lunch

Issue is more about being warned about it, just a thought in case any developers stick their heads in here.

I have also lost my LW PRO feature with new upgrade today. I purchased PRO last year with the understanding it being lifetime. I have entered my email address in LW PRO support, but does not recognize my email address...which is the one I used to purchase PRO. I then did a system restore, hoping to get my old LW version back and it's turbo capabilities, but still returns to basic. So, I reversed my system restore and am now getting 4.12 version, basic. Yikes! I do not want the FREE version, as I also paid lifetime Limewire membership.
I cannot contact Limewire as they do not recognized my email.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

There is no lifetime membership, only scam sites offer such nonsense to extract more money out of the internet novice.

After all, what is this "lifetime membership" you think you are paying for?

Sorry, but you will find that you have been scammed by an internet company set up to part novices from their money, and if you check you will find that you do not have Pro but LW Basic, which is free.

You should contact your CC company's anti-fraud section, explained to them you have been conned and they will give you your money back, if it has not been too long.

Note, it was not the LW Org that scammed you it was the (no-name) web-site that offered unlimited films, games, MP3s and anything else you could wish for all for a one off payment and a "lifetime membership" to a non-existent club.
