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 360Share Pro is robbery

I paid for lifetime support with 360Share pro but almost immediately found that their support is unavailable. Neither the user name nor password supplied were recognised. I gave my email and got a new password only to get the message "Specified client not found". That means I can't contact them at all - no address, no phone number and no email.

The agreement allows for 7 day cancellation period but I can't contact them to cancel.

Gullible me!

You should contact your bank/CC company & report this. They might be able to cancel the transaction... most will have a department to deal with scams/fraud.

Did you get a receipt when you paid? Or an automated reply? Have a look & see of there's a phone number or email address on that.

I'm not sure if there's anything about 360Share in this thread. Even so, you might find something useful
get your $$$ BACK!!!(music members)

Good luck!

Thumbs up purchase limewire upgrade for $18.88

I'm affraid I was one of the jerks who paid $18.88 for limewire pro. But I learned my lesson. I thought I was paying for a better, faster limewire but all I got was scammed.
I tried to contact limewire support, but to no avail. I paid with my paypal tried to stop payment by going to the credit card and requesting a hold, they held it for 30 days but the payment ended up going through anyway. Then my program started acting wierd, I couldn't get any downloads, everytime I clicked on a song it connected me with the internet to a site advertizing paid downloads. I finally got fed up. I uninstalled limewire pro, cut my losses and reinstalled the free version of limewire and I haven't had any problems since.
I'll never pay for limewire pro again seeing that the free version does exactly the same thing as pro.

Remember thet the only official site is www.limewire.com. I just renewed my subscription to LimewirePRO and it was only $14.50, thanks Limewire!!!. I will always subscribe to Limewire becuase they are fighting the giants at the RIAA and not backing down so I know that my fee is going to a great cause. So do not give to spammers as that money goes to people who are not concerned with your best interest and only in how much money they can scam from you

Sounds like you've used LW before...it works the same as it ever did. There has never been a charge per download.

You have to download at least 5 - 10% of the file before you can preview it. For music files LW will use the built-in player (if enabled) and for video files your default media player.....

The LW player's not so good, you'll probably find it easier to disable it & make something else your default player. If previews don't work in other players, might be a bad file. Make sure to scan all downloaded files with your AV before opening!
You can't play a song before download...preview it during download.

Unhappy I went to that website

I just went to the website to see what its about. I could find no specific mention to limewire. It advertises downloads of song, video, etc. What its doing is giving you a service for a charge that is actually free. Yes it is a scammer, Is it illegal, whos to say. You can get your newspaper out of your yard for free. Or you can pay me and i will get it for you> . Yes it sucks that there are people like this out there. I feel for who ever got ripped. I also tried to find a way to contact these people. They have got there bases covered, like most scammers, in that it is almost impossible to contact them by phone or email. Just to get a email address, you have to sign up. Which means give them money. The way they would respond is that, for your money, they will get you the p2p programs. If you have problems with these p2p programs, they will give there technical support(the service you actually paid for) to you. Anyway i hope you and anybody else can get there money back>
Good luck!
