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.

Default Limewire pro

There's something i'm rather curious about involving the pro version of limewire. I downloaded it a while back and thought it was a good client for the Gnutelle network... but then i used a free version of a Gnutella client at a friends house and on various other PC's, it retrieved a hell of alot more search results, and that goes for many other free Gnutella clients i tried after that. It looks rather obvious the pro version of Limewire is a rip-off and shows alot less of what's actually on the Gnutella network.

"how the hell" is it a rip-off when they offer you the free version to try out forever? and "what the hell" does this have to do with the beta version? get your facts straight, post in the right forum, and dont come back until then.

Are you feeling alright today? maybe i'll have to elaberate for the 'hard of understanding'... It's got everything to do with the beta program becuase it's the one i've tried, aswell as others (i implied the fact i used it by saying i had used earlier versions), including the latest. Secondly, so what if you get to use later versions of it life ( everyone get's it seeing though it's widley avaailable to practically everyone, maybe you think your special, i don't know), big deal, i'm cumming in my pants. (why the hell would you emphisise that, when clearly it's about performance, not if you get a life times supply of programs off them) and above all, as if that's got anything to do with how a program works (which obviosuly is my i posted my comment in here in the first place) all you mentioned was a contradiction of what i meant, implied and stated, the fact the new Limewire pro, and indeed earlier versions of it don't retrieve the full selection of files on the Gnutella network like other free Gnutella clients out there, get a grip and don't contradict my intelligent critisism, you very rude

There seems to be some lack of understanding, comprehension & skill here. Both in knowing where & what to post, & probably with using LW also. Forum Rules (click here) These posts had nothing what so ever to do with the working thread of the Beta Testers.

You seem so sure don't you. Well... i posted my post due to my critisism of the beta version, being pro (the pst was thread was clealry named ''beta''). it wasn't a out right dislike of Limewire, as you or soemone has named the post, if people don't like Limewire then post it in the dislike section, but i have no disklike about it, i have a natural crititism of the beta pro version, and that critisism being the very few search results from other free Gnutela clients, that doens't mean i want to give it a bad name, obviously. I'm mearly suggesting and implying it was and is a rip-off for buying the pro version due ot the lack of results compared to other free versions of Gnutella clients, Ones again for the 'hard of understanding' my comment on the beta version of pro is not a dislike, it is a natural critisism

And clealry, i have to emphisise that being a so called beta testing I iwas very much so pointing out somethign to do with beta, in this case the pro version, i think some people round here are being very careless on what i've said from my first post.

Probably if your friend used LW Pro they'd also get very good results.

Didn't it occur to you that it might be a difference of your friend's set up, how they have it configured, & how they use it. There's lots of threads throughout the forum that discuss how to do these things. Other things you should be able to pick up on through experience.

The Beta thread in question is a problem observation & problem solving thread. People who post there are experienced users who are already aware how to maximise their use of LW.

really who cares how many search results you get. I always get around 500 for anything be it a band name or a specific song by a band. You don't need 10000 search results just learn to be a bit more accurate with your searches. I've used a lot of P2P programs on Win and Linux and gotta say I chose limewire.
