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.

Angry I paid for lifetime..now can't get it

I was a satisfied limewire lifetime member until my computer crashed and I had to reinstal everything that was on it. When I paid $38 for a lifetime membership, I truely believed that that at least meant more than a few months. I have had limewire less than a year...which doesn't mean lifetime to me. I have tried using my email 2 addresses to log into limewirepro, and can't. I really don't want just basic, because I have already paid for the good stuff. I very much want to be a satisfied customer again Please help!!!

You were tricked. The real LimeWire (which is only available at http://www.limewire.com ) costs $18.88 for six months. There is no life-time membership if you buy the real thing.

Default it was on limewire.com

I did pay nearly $40 for the service on limewire.com, same site as I am on now! It hasn't even been a year, and it was marketed to look like a lifetime membership...and It did work as I downloaded songs before. I paid for a premium service, and was not dupped because I had it and it worked. I charged it on credit card...and limewire.com got the money. At anyrate, I am not getting the service I paid for anymore since the computer crashed. AND I know it hasn't been a year even since I paid this $38 to limewire. I am not stupid, just want answers and advice. I really liked the service limewire gave me....I just didn't want it to end so quickly. I only got 6 months of use for that $38 and have been trying to get it back since then. I could not have been duped, as I said, because I got it and paid for it on this exact site.

Umm this is a forum site. It does not offer files or programs for downld. Sounds to me like you paid that money for the FREE version of LW (LW Basic.) So just go to the above site & get it for free! I can assure you it wasn't LW.org who got your money! Perhaps a site with a similar name. Here's a list of known scam sites: Scam sites list (click on link)

I don't remember ever seeing any kind of lifetime membership on www.limewire.com in fact I am sure they never had anything like that.

Unhappy it was limewire.com

but it was paid on this website...even is I was confused about it being lifetime membership...I did pay $38 to limewire on this site for a premium service that I am no longer being provided. I am asking for a way to be able to redownload the premium limewire service that i did have before my computer crashed. I did doenload the free basic now...but what I had before was the upgrade version with more files and faster downloads. Please don't give me sarcasim as what I am asking for is help. Once again let me reassure you that I am not an idiot or a scammer, just a person who lost the premium service that I paid for....and received it for less than a year....at a cost of $38 dollars.
