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.

hi had to join to join in and glad I did. I have just downloaded lime wire for free, dont really know how I got here, but it came in through some annoying woman in Canada called Lisa Williams from www.MyMusicInc.com and they wanted money for it. Initially advertises as free downloads, then when you follow it through you get an option of payment deals 1 year, lifetime etc. Ha got no hope of getting money out of me, but Lisa sounds nice and any time shes in the uk she can email me. Once upon a time I lived by the rule you dont get anything for free, thats why I am now poor...
But slowly buildning my resources...

The software is free. You are paying for unlimited technical support and so we can run the website. If unsatisfied, for any reason, you can cancel your membership within 30 days for a full refund.
That is the statement made by MyMusicInc.com

since they are linking directly to limewire.com servers to download the installation software for limewire (a few people have noticed this.) all limewire has to do is this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=42544

Thumbs up Yes I DID!

In my previous post here, I said I would believe it when I saw the money in my bank account. Yes, they did actually refund money after all the threatening e-mails, sending them their own "guarantee of money back if not satisfied" statement and all that.

Yes, Kelnar, you are absolutely right about getting these guys back, and yes UC you are right with believing the RIAA has something to do with it. I think so too.

I've had other problems since then with a false-positive virus diagnosed by Avast and now having scripts errors so I can't print anything. If anyone will read my post in Tips and Tricks here, I would appreciate any help.

I copied the error message wrong - the last part of it I think should be URS res://C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCL/DLL/preview.dlg.

Not sure if that't right either.

Back to the topic, at least I did get my money back. I didn't know anything about P2P until MyMusic came along. It was only through a small problem I was having with Limewire that I came to this forum and found out I got burned. So once again, thank you all and PLEASE, any newbies like me (probably won't be much longer at this rate though LOL) do not sign up for anything like AllCoolMusic, Mymusic, and oh there's another one that tried to get to me yesterday - PeerFlix. Be careful out there.

Default Scam Sites are Predators

Dear U2btrfly

Glad you got your money back and beaten the scammers but, as you admit, you would not have known you were scammed unless you had a problem and came to this forum looking for help. Now imagine all those newbies out there that do not have problems and are living quite happily with their paid for "free" LW basic.

Scam sites exist to prey on gullible and unthinking internet shoppers, but theses sites would not exist if people thought about what they were doing before parting with their payment details. So, in a way, I blame the prey (in the main gullible newbies) for the existence of so many predators (well over a hundred scam sites).

Predators exists because their prey are plentiful, no prey and predators becomes extinct. Therefore, unless and until newbies start to use their common sense and stop being prey there will always be predatory sites willing and able to rip them off.

I telephoned my Credit Card Company to report the charge and they have said that the charge will not be paid until further investigations are made. I have been charged 62.68 USD does that mean the fraudsters can keep on placing this charge on my card ad infinitum?

The ofending site is:

Answer: Yes

That's why you have to cancel your credit card and get a new one.


Cheers for the assist Hobo

Angry Scam!!!!

It seems I was also scammed.
http://www.my-free-music.com/home.htm?affID=2588
The is the web address that charged me $24.95 for a 2 year membership that is apparently free then offered the $18.88 upgrade option. I used the 1st site My Music Inc.
Do I have any recourse?

hi lucy, are you still within the 30 day refund period, other than that I reckon it will be tough. they do state that the software is free and you are paying for technical support.
personally I think they should all be prosecuted for fraud and closed down.
I think I will start a website offering technical assistance should you need help in breathing.
