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.

Question Convert Movies?

So this probably sounds stupid but how do I watch the movies. They're all in windows media player format so I can't watch them, how do I convert them so I can actually watch them? Do I need a special program?

With WMP you need the correct codecs to be able to watch certain formats..
The VLC player already has the necessary codecs installed ...
This thread will give you links to the downloads you may want...

mystiksouldier I was pleased to see your other post, but it would be prudent of you to read the forum rules so that you know what can or cannot be posted here. It is against the forum rules to discuss copyright violation.. pleeeeeeease amend your post before a moderator does

btw the VLC player which WW recomended, which is free and open source, is what I would recomend

I personally don't see where the BSPro Player is copyrighted. Also, I don't see how there is a difference between my recommended player and the VLC Player. If I posted a reply to a person in need, and had a question that needed a answer. Why am I the one that is at fault , when the posted question was placed in this area of the Forum?

I googled it earlier and found you needed to pay for it That means advocating getting it for free off LW is against forum rules. There may be no difference between the players although I doubt it. If there is a free and good open sourse application that many use and trust and a paid for one that could be got off a p2p network as you suggest ... possibly loaded with malware etc. ..... then what choice would YOU make

The forum rules actually state "Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form"

really...guess you can't read then....there is a free version, and a pro version..the pro version is for [b]******/b], by the manufacturer...hence, it is copyrighted...

in a nutshell, you without a doubt recommended that someone download a copyrighted program....therefor you broke the forum rulez...

does that answer why you are the one at fault?

while I will in no way argue your thought that Bs Pro Player is better than VLC, it is a fact that VLC is freeware and Bs Pro is not..end of discussion...continue at your own risk

Default Please Accept My Apology

I totally apologize for referring a copyrighted program. It will definitely not happen in the future. I'm done offering assistance to anyone in need. I've helped people experiencing problems to the best of my ability, but it seems that I've apparantly went beyond the restricted boundries. Sorry for any inconvenience people. I do hope that my replies to those that were in need were helpful. Take care and peace out.

Hey ... apology accepted ... I was only pointing out the ground rules ..and they exist for important reasons...Honestly... You haven't been here long enough to do your first storming out. You need at least 100 post before you can do that

Default Appreciate Your Input

Thanks for you input and concern Hobo. I really don't want to be banned from the forums due to ignorance on my behalf. I appreciate that you brought this to my attention. Learn from your mistakes , I guess. I made one and learned that another one won't happen in the future. Over and out.
