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 Is their something wrong with my LW?

I have had limewire basic since July '08 and have downloaded 50+ songs from it perfectly. But last night at 12:00 midnight, I tried to search for 3 fairly common songs from the 1980s but I had no luck. So I tried again the next morning at 11 and still no luck. I noticed that all the connection bars were green but the world had a brick wall on it. I thought usually even with the brickwall it still works? So, I deleted the entire limewire and made sure it was out of my PC, then I re-downloaded it. I did my 3 searches again and still no luck (this time at 2pm). The connection bars were green but the world had a brickwall. Is their something wrong that I'm not aware of? I have limewire basic 4.18.8 and my PC is an HP Pavilion dv9000.

Here were my searches:

"sparrows and nightingales"
"getta outta my dreams and into my car"
"on the tray - sandra"
"for tamme"

BTW, what are some tips to help your PC run well and not be prone to viruses with limewire?

thanks

LOTR 'bumps' smallwonder85's hips & laughs.

Long list of tips lol

1. File sizes & duplicate naming techniques to beware: Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see)

2. Direct instructions to eliminate porn from results & follow 'both' links in that post for terms to filter out. You may find more to filter out but be careful they do not compromise with any searches you do.

Yes, the firewall icon could be due to one of a number of things:

3. Make sure you added limewire to your windows or whichever firewall you're using exception list. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-firewall.html

4. System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) in case you still have firewall icon. In meantime, some things to try are listed here If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link), such as performance & speed options.

Not sure what your post has to do with the topic.

Try files from a different source. Download from a different person & see if same problem. Also, check the files with a different player, since there are more capable players for OSX than iTunes (or LW's media player); I'd recommend both ToolPlayer & Switch, Alternate Audio Players & support plug-ins. ToolPlayer is very simple player but can play a wide range of music formats. Switch is a converter but can also play a reasonable range of formats.

Hi, I'm a newbie and I hope I'm in the right place. On another computer I had limewire and used it with no problems. I now have a computer I won, I d/l LW last night and couldn't wait to start d/l new songs and start listening...except that the limewire symbol wasn't next to any of the songs going down the list...when I did click on one, it says they are unable to find a license for the one I've clicked on. What have I done?? What can I do to fix this? Help.....

It is generally unlawful to reproduce copyrighted material without consent of the owner.
There is much content on the Gnutella network that is not copyrighted, or the owner consents to reproduction.

So I'm still lost. I don't know if I'm behind a firewall or if it wasn't d/l correctly, all I know is I'm not seeing a limewire 'icon' or the stars that are to the left of the songs, like I did on my old computer. Would it make a difference if the old one was windows xp and the new one is vista??
