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. |

 I have tried everything in order to get lw to open and run and nothing has happened. I have uninstalled and reinstalled lw several times along with java. I have also tried the back-up installer with no luck. When i click on the lw icon the start-up screen pops up and stays in the middle of the screen and the only way to get it off is to restart. I get the firewall screen asking me to allow access and as soon as i do nothing. I've read everything on this forum followed all directions and still nothing. I've had lw for about 1 year with no problems, bought the new version of pro and thats when it all started. If anyone has an idea please let me know.  |

That's the first time I heard that. You have a link to the real site? Also, I called my bank and told them that I'm disputing the $14.50 charge ( just on principle) and they are going to reverse the charge. |

 This version of the installation finally worked for me, but just as I was finishing the installation, a window popped up and said that I would have to download Java myself for LimeWire to work, because it couldn't make it install itself. I went to the Java website and attempted to download it but then an error message popped up which said : "The installation cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection proxy settings." (Sorry this is getting so long) Then I went to try and find the proxy settings..and according to the website, my computer doesn't use a proxy server! I didn't think this would stop the LimeWire program, so I came here to see if anyone could help. Again, sorry for the long post and thanks in advance! |

 Limewire Install Margret I can only say that the whole Limewire install is a "Dud" unless you are VERY VERY Careful and NEVER Click on "INSTALL PRO" at the start of the installation! Somehow when you click to install you are onto a Dud Site and they take your money but no Limewire They don't answer the 1800 number and there is no way of contacting them, My advice is to forget it, or sift thru this forum and you will find a "link" that LM Cnutella" has posted I think because of us all complaining? click on it" and it will install the correct LW (it did for me) but I am still $50 out of pocket, Good Luck Dasha  |

| Thanks Dasha! I wasn't sure what you meant about the link that LM Cnutella posted, but the link "zap" posted finally worked after another try. I haven't really tried to find a song or download anything, but I was just glad when I finished downloading and finally opened! Also, sorry about the $50! |
