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.

Did you get this settled? The business manager for LW sometimes posts in gnutellaforums, so you might be able to contact her this way.

Did you go to: www.limewire.com to get the Pro version???

Cancel out those additional transactions ASAP. You only need to pay ONCE for Pro 18.88 USA dollars. The site might have a glitch and or your browser could have crashed during the transaction and they didnt receive the order etc.

The biz manager will be interested to know about this, so I've sent out a few messages.

Keep us posted please if this doesn't get resolved today.

We're certainly not trying to trick anyone into purchasing more than once - the user gets angry, we get nasty phone calls and big chargeback fees... What we are doing is implementing more stringent parameters for card acceptance to cut back on fraudulent purchases.

If you're using a bank card, the charges will show up for a while even when the charge was automatically voided on our end - which is what happens when the card info isn't cleared by VeriSign, our payment processor.

The charges should, however, disappear as the void reaches your bank. If they don't, please get in touch with Lime Wire - our number will be posted next to your bank statement, and it's a simple matter for our billing department to look at charges to your card, see what's going on and fix any lingering issues.

Thank you for the reply.

This is pretty much what my bank told me too. Will just have to wait and see if this resolves by itself.

ass4ssin,

FYI wink, wink, that is most likely a hacked version of Pro you moron. I hope you got plently of Anti Virus protection on your computer if you use it. Retard.

You can only get PRO if you pay for it, dumbass.
