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.

Default Corrupt Files Setting

It seems that 50% of my downloads are detected as "currupt file" and limewire automatically stops the download. I did click "stop download, remember my answer" and now I wish to change that to ignore detected corrupted files so that it will continue downloading. I've uninstalled and deleted the limewire folder and reinstalled several times but the settings must be stored elsewhere. I could not find the option to change corrupt file settings either. Where do I go / what do I do to modify this setting?

Go to Tools -> Options, View -> Popups, and choose to forget your stored answers.

We'll be adding an easy-to-see "restore to factory defaults" option in the settings area for the next release.

Default where is tools/options/view/popups?

On the Limewire Tools Menu, these headings do not appear. So where are they and how can I reach all those corrupt files. Also, when I try to delete them from my library, is there a way to delete them all at once? I haven't been able to do that and the alternative takes forever.

Default Deleting library files

I have tried deleting many files from the library at once and the ctrl hold down feature does work for me. So I tried it this way. Go to your Shared folder and hold the ctrl button down as you click the files you want to delete. When done delete them. Now go back to your LimeWire library and click "refresh" the deleted files should disappear. Also works for the incomplete folder.

Hope it helps

Default corrupt...

If I keep downloading a file that Limewire has said is "corrupt," then will this hurt my computer? I also have the problem of at least 50% of my downloads being "corrupt." What does this mean? And how do I stop it?
