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 Can Limewire run off of a CD?

Hi.

Does anyone know if it's possible to run Limewire from a CD? My son is away at school and not allowed to download programs on his laptop. He wants me to download limewire on a CD so he can download songs then transfer them to his Ipod.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

reading through the lines, it appears as if what you really want to do is this: download LW, burn it to a CD, then give said CD to your son so that he may install LW on his laptop...\

this is definitely possible...

if on the other hand your idea is to actually run LW from the CD, then no that is not possible as far as I know as LW is a program that must be installed into the OS...

Thanks. He won't be able to do it then. The laptops are school issue and they can't download anything to the OS so he thought he could run it off of the CD. Thanks, anyway. I appreciate your reply. Have a good night.

i know how to fix this...i have done it many times...

this worked on a comp at the hotel we were at the other day...chances are it just wont let you install anything because its a "limated account" , hers what you do...boot in safe mode (press F8 right after the bios cheac) log in as ADMINISTRATOR and create yourself an administrator account or give your old account admin privledges, set a password so the school cant change it back, login to your new account and install away! youl be watching porn on ur laptop in the classroom in no time!

if that dosent work possibley because they thot you would try this and they set a password on the ADMINISTRATOR account...simpley back up all the important stuff to floppies CD or flash stick , and format the drive and re install windows and set everything up the way YOU want it.

and dont forget to set the password hint to say ****OFF!!! when clicked.

There are very good reasons as to why the schools set up things like that.It is to safegaurd children. I as a parent and a grandparent are very glad they do things that way,I would not want my young grandchildren to be able to access just anything in school.If I ever found out that the school was not protecting them from the trash out here I would not take that lightly and they would not be happy having to deal with me over it either.Most all school computers are linked together somehow and they are protected by certain laws for the students protection. This is just my opinion but you are in school to learn and get an education,not download porn.I'm sure your parents would not tolerate it at home so why would the schools tolerate it there.?They will always be monitoring online activities to keep from getting sued,I seriously doubt that will ever change,which is as is should be. If you wonder where I get this info from My Daughter in law is a teacher.She has busted several students over her course of teaching trying to hack into the systems and gain pass words and such,and the parents were called in and the students were suspended.What you are suggesting is just not right.How would you feel if you were a parent and you sent your child to a nice school to get an education and found out that the only thingthey were learning was how to download crap they have no business downloading to start with,and your hard earned money is paying for that education? Think about this before you make such comments.That could be your Child that was on the 6 o clock news that was taken because they were able to get into chatrooms and a child molestor took advantage of them and lured them out and now they are missing or raped,or dead..

Thank you very much Becky for your reply. You are right on point. I wasn't sure how to answer the post b/c I couldn't beleive the suggestion. You are absoulutley correct about the school administration and why they monitor and block downloading.
