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 A few things

The audio player needs to be updated... badly.

- It needs to have a scrubber
- It needs to stop not producing sound during the middle of a song

- There should be something that can detect when an mp3 device is hooked up to the computer system, so I can drag songs into it from my library.


- The Library should be able to be set up like iTunes library, where I can edit the song's ID3 tags, then also drag the song(s) to my MP3 player.

Default Or any other media player for that matter

They should have never added that functionality in LimeWire. The media player you normally use will offer a lot better functionality, including the ability to queue songs you've just downloaded, tag them, and put them in your proper song library.
A good program will do one thing, and do it well. LimeWire is designed to search for and download files. It does that well. The silly added on MP3 player thingy feels out of place in LimeWire. LimeWire isn't even solely about downloading MP3's.
When it's there, and enabled by default (as it is), people will start complaining about it and adding feature requests. LimeWire should just farm out to the default media player by default and complaints like this wouldn't even exist.

iTunes is for iPods, why can LimeWire be for MP3 players?

iTunes can download - LimeWire can download
iTunes can play music - LimeWire can play music
iTunes has a library - LimeWire has a library
iTunes has play lists - LimeWire has a play list

iTunes can upload to iPods - LimeWire can't upload to anything


I just opened "Windows Media Player" (I don't usually use it) I think I kind of like it... But... I just think that it would be a nice feature, it would be faster than having to open a second program to move files to your MP3 player.

You know AC

I totally agree with you, I think that the LW programmers should delete their MP3/media player out of the programme altogether.

Whenever non-native add-ons are put into a programme, such as a media player or anti-virus app, people will want the add-ons improved, which ultimately diverts resources away from the main programme thus weakening it. While the add-ons themselves will never be anything better than second-rate because they will never have resources necessary to catch up with the programmes they imitate.

That is why whenever a newby suggest that LW should have an AV installed with it I disagree vehemently because no AV that LW install will ever be as good as the AV you choose for yourself.

I believe that if LW needs more features then the programmer should allow add-on/plug-in writers to add the extra facilities needed. That way the extra facilities will be supported and updated by their writers.
