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 how does K-lite tie into Limewire??

I think I may have just gotten soaked for 20 bucks. . .I found a website, "K-lite", that claims to be a legit website for downloading mp3's, perfectly legally. I was looking for an mp3 that I couldn't find anywhere, I usually use MusicMatch and pay 99 cents a song in order to stay legal. ..

so, I paid K-lite 20 bucks through credit card, and then was directed to a page to download their stuff--and what I found to download was, Limewire, Bearshare, Kazaa and a lot of other file sharing programs that you can download anywhere for free!!

Is this a scam?? Is Limewire aware of this?

We are aware of these companies but unfortunantely since they claim in their fine print that they meerely sell information to finding products, there is nothing that we can do about them legally. The only place to legitimately purchase LimeWire PRO is at www.limewire.com. The only place to download the free version of limewire is at www.limewire.com. I suggest contacting your credit card company and dispute the charge from klite.tk and either download the free version or purchase the pro version from LimeWire.

Best,

well, I suppose that for $19 I call chalk it up to "tuition". . .;-)

In any case, Limewire is a really good program, so some good did come out of it!

I joined this site to download music and found out it was just links to free sites. I did this on Thurs. and cannot get in touch with anyone to find out about a refund. I can go to the bank Monday and put a stop on the online check. I would like to know if anyone ever gets their refund or if I should just go ahead and spend the money to stop payment? Any suggestions besides not be so stupid next time?

Account Activation about sums it up. But contacting limenathan (click on link) might also be helpful.

They don't sound like limewire charges...The legit LW is $18.88 US...
$9.88, 23.46, 12.95, dont sound like Limewire charges, even if you are from somewhere else other than the US....Where did you purchase your software from, can you paste the link here...

It sounds like they got it from one of these places: Known Scam Sites (click on link)

K-lite is a known scam site & version.
