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.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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.

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.

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.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. 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.

Red face Alltel

I've used Limewire for several years, and never had problems until we moved to Ohio. I have Alltel DSL and CANNOT run Limewire or ANY P2P programs. I am in the market for a non-blocking ISP in Northeast Ohio that will provide me with what I am paying for--connection.

ATT Worldnet. Worked the first time I used LW and then won't connect after that. When I try to connect I get "Your computer does not seem to have an active connection or you a behind a firewall...".

Obviously I have an active connection because I am making this post and I don't have any firewall running.

Cheers

I'm with Earthlink in pennsylvania.

I can connect. It stays 'turbo charged' for the first 5 minutes, then I have problems staying connected the rest of the time. My downloads are so slow it's almost a waste of $18.88.

I get the same problems others have stated. I get messages that say I must not have an internet connection... while it's looking for sorces and downloading at a less than 1kb clip.

Someone mentioned changing ports for Limewire, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Sympatico (Canada) works fine, I have hi-speed and some of the d-loads are 15 seconds. It's not cheap tho...

If they do limit I don't notice it

Thumbs up Shaw Cable

Shaw Hi-Speed Cable (Canada) works great and they NEVER limit the speeds, it all just depends on network usage.

Personally, I ALWAYS have either Excellent or TurboCharged as my LimeWire Quality and I am not even a Pro user!

They are extremely inexpensive too!

Default Cox Cable .Net .COM

Have never been able to upload. Downloads and all other functions work very well. But others can not download from me.

I have a static ip on a commercial line from cox.net in oklahoma city. Changing ports, etc. doesn't do any good.

The only conclusion is that it is being blocked by my isp or the limewire software has some bad coding somewhere.

I noticed that people whose ip addresses are similar to mine can download from me, such as yyy.yyy.xxx.xxx where the y's are the same as mine.

The odd thing is that winmx works just fine.

Neither iinet or ihug block p2p.

On the other hand insight & cox are known to block or filter p2p! See hee: http://www.broadbandreports.com/shownews/56054 & also http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/insight & http://www.broadbandreports.com/foru...4576~mode=flat & http://www.broadbandreports.com/foru...2521~mode=flat & that's just the starting point! There's other articles involving both those companies if you wish to google for them. There may be some links for them on the forum. I know I read about Cox a month before I decided to comment about them. But I haven't been able to retrace the original article or 2 I read. Insight uses Sandvine! to filter & or block!

winMX works fine b/c its not ran off the same network as the other progs such as bearshare and limewire, winmx is on a crappier network which runs off a diff port. the isp's are only worried about blocking access to the major networks.
