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.

Thumbs down What LW no longer does

David91 you are quite right that there is a change. And that's what all the kvetching is about. You hit it on the head when you say it's like playing a computer game with a very busy whacking at the keyboard. I didn't sign up to play a computer game, I just want LW to work as fabulously as it once did with a less than 50% failure rate. The change is for most of us a huge obstacle to using the LW app. That doesn't make me regret having put $17.50 into the hands of people who write GNU software for the love of it. If I had a million I would send them half.

I went to my LW Help menu to the Review Limewire command which launched my browser and took me to <http://download.com.com/3302-2179_4-10195993.html> The majority of LW users are now giving it a nasty thumbs down. 73% !!! Time to rethink your posture.

As for debates. I will look for other fora to have the kinda debate I like to have. This is not one of em. Indeed I don't think corporate super-profits are sacred or beyond debate or even legal action. In fact, I thought that's why P2P networks came into being at all. The history of GNU and open source is not found in Microsoft or Disney. It is found among those software writers and computer users who have tried from the get go to keep computing in the hands of the public. Most of them hate the corporations that stole the desktop computer from its humble origins and turned into a Wall Street casino that was part of the wreckage of many people's life savings not long ago, remember?

I live in California. We know all about corporate super-profits in energy and healthcare and entertainment. We got fleeced for billions by unregulated ENRON. The latter used your argument to say it was OK. Last week the NY Times published an article showing that Vivendi Universal is hiring hackers to bring down P2P networks and to write worms that will erase the harddrives of that contain pirated music. The post fake songs on servers that are actually viruses. That IS illegal! Yesterday Vivendi sued Bertelsman over Napster. No love among them either. And they are threatening Apple over iTunes4.

But you wanna give me lessons in economics? I have a PhD in econonics! I recall these cannibals opposed the audio cassette, Betamax, CD ROM, minidisc, Apple iDVD and every technology they feel is a "threat" to their profits. They indeed effectively killed minidisc in the USA. They also deprive the artists the "own" from their rightful share of the intellectual property they are so keen to "protect." The legal caseload on this subject can fill many rooms. But let's not go there. Y'all in Singapore, global shrine to unfeterred capitalism, think all is fair in money and profit. That little prosperous fester of unbridled materialism is also openly authoritarian and has produced the most compliant and self-censored people in the world. Maybe tomorrow the followers of Lee Kwan Yu will dictate death penalty for music pirates. ;-) Time to rethink your posture.

Default Thank you

In all the off-topic posting, you carefully avoided saying the one thing that would have been a meaningful contribution to the debate. You did not deny that the methodology I was describing is a means of compensation for Limewire's poor performance. And, for the benefit of all who may have the patience to read to this point, that is the only thing that matters.

Red face *sigh* bye for now...

I wuzzint careful at all. You are asking people to get the engine started by lifting the hood, tweaking the sparkplugs, venting the carburator and turning the crank by hand. If it starts, jump in the driver's seat and drive. cute. but way complex.

I tried it, it didn't work. My version of LW only has Resume. So I tried to Resume and tried and tried and tried. Knoock yrself out.

off topic is better than off century ;-)

Default Resume?

Oh, dear! Reading skills are lacking. If you had taken the trouble to look through the threads on this forum, you would discover that Resume was disabled last year. That was why I so carefully neglected to mention it in my description of what to do. But if you want to continue this demonstration of why you're never going to make a success of a project requiring intelligence, just carry on as you are.

Thumbs down go for it!

I just downloaded 2.9.11 and it still duzzint download successfully. have fun playing computer games with music downloads. LW will probably die from technical glitches if denial rules in GNUtella land.

Funny if Resume is discontinued why do they keep the command in three versions of 2.9?

carefully or not. geeking for music is like growing wheat to eat bread or keeping cows to have a glass of milk. go for it!

I know it is a redundant question, given your high-powered PhD, but you did remember to trash all the "Limew" labelled files before installing the new version, didn't you? We both know that a tabla rasa gives the best results, right?

Wink download problems

I just installed the upgrade to LW vers 2.9.11. I'm finally back in business getting downloads at a rate almost as regular as when I first tried LW using the freeware copy 9 months ago. I'm running it on the new 17" Mac G4 Laptop.

Default Welcome Scotpond

At least you have some good news for those of us in the trenches, but you'd better batten down the hatches in case our Californian friend lets go a salvo on the subject of Scotland's membership of the human race (sorry if my assumption of your location is wrong).

Default Just Upgraded...

Same error here, I upgraded Limewire today thinking that it would somehow benefit me, now I cannot d/l a damn thing. I get that same error discussed here EVERY TIME I try. I'm running Windows 2000, did not have this problem with the last version of Limewire, I sure as hell will not pay to upgrade if the free version doesn't even work...

Windows 2000, upgraded today and now I can download NOTHING. Each time I try, the download will start but will only run for a few seconds before that error msg pops up. I guess I'll give morpheus a try, this software is unusable in it's current state, the new release is a royal POS...
