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.

I have trouble searching as when I search I want Limewire to only give me results of EVERY word I type in.

For example, if I type in "janet jackson", I only want results with BOTH those words in it, I don't want files with janet or jackson, I want janet AND jackson to be in all the file names.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thats the way the search works. Try to be as precise as possible, but you'll still have to sort through them.

This thread has tips on searching: How to find music

But if you search by an exact song, your search will probably give more exact results...
(But less of them)

I hate to say this but that is ridiculous. The problem you have then is that you always get a whole load of completely irrelevent results simply because they contain a word which is popular. This means there is less space left for the results you want.

With Kazaa lite it only found results with all the words you type in. There must be a way to perform a search like this in Limewire, and if there isn't then shame on them for not doing so...they should include it in a future patch or something.

There are several 'reserved' characters that are not allowed in PC filenames, such as ? and : (and many more!) that could be used as de-limitters for strings. Perhaps the problem is in finding such characters that are also forbidden in filenames for other computers (Mac, Wang, etc.)? If non-conflicting de-limitters could be determined, then the 'standard' BOOLEAN connectors of {& && | || !} could be used in forming search requests.

BTW, this is one of my 'pet peeves' about LimeWire ... the inability to state something like :ray peterson: !oscar ... or similar. The "Janet Jackson" case is even more severe, due to the common nature of both names for this performer.

Hi people - in regards to previous advise re: being more specific (in search terms) and searching for exact song (to yield more exact results).
I get specific, and I get an error box stating "SEARCH TOO SPECIFIC!"

So, what exactly IS too specific? And why is this particular issue so random? For example, I know the exact song I want, the exact artist who sings it, etc etc....error message "too specific" appears. I search again, trying to search for diff song from same artist, same album. No error message. I'm so confused!

There is (apparently) a rather small limit on the total number of characters you may enter in a search request. For example, it is impossible to request "Jeremiah Peabody's fast-acting, pleasant-tasting green and purple pills" as a song title, and "Ray Stevens" as the artist's name ... by a long shot!

Leave out the 'little' words, such as "a'", "the" and duplicated words ("Dee Sharp" is just as good as "Dee Dee Sharp"), and only retain the words that are relatively unique to whatever it is you are searching for, so my example above would be "peabody acting pleasant" for the title, and "stevens" for the artist. That would avoid 'hits' on "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" (the incorrect title for "Joy to the world") and every artist named "Ray" (Charles, Peterson, etc.).
