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 Will limewire.com ever respond to my support e-mails?

I'm just wondering if anyone has recently e-mailed limewire.com with questions and received a reply. I sent two e-mails in October via the contact page on their website, and on October 30 I e-mailed my questions to service@limewire.com (also found on their website) and to date no replies.

When I used the online form on October 17 & 22, I got an auto-response stating "The LimeWire Tech Support Team has received a copy of this email. Soon you will get a response on this Issue." I did not get an auto-response when I e-mailed service@limewire.com.

Could someone from Limewire define soon please?

Also, I find it frustrating that although I paid the $18.88 fee for the Pro version, there isn't even a phone number to call for any kind of support. That is really not good business in my books, but I should have done my research before paying, so I deserve what I got.

well...since you haven't stated what the basic context of the emails was, we cannot theorize as to why you are being ignored...

If you re-read my post, I wasn't asking for anyone to theorize why I was being ignored, nor did I even say that I am being ignored. I was asking if anyone else has recently e-mailed limewire.com and received a reply.

I didn't think my post was that difficult to understand...

Thanks for the insight. I have been reading some of the forum threads and I think I have found what I need to answer my questions. Nevertheless, to simply not reply to e-mails that are sent through their website is inexcusable regardless of the reason. If they are going to charge money for the software and then offer support, then they should provide support without fail... or they need to at least advise the requestor as to what "soon" means.

Take care...

They have a limited support staff & with hundreds if not thousands of emails daily, they 1st need to find which are the real pro users amongst all of those. There's only 2-3 support staff afaik.

I don't have to re-read your post...I was trying to see if you had anything you wanted to get off of your chest about what your 'problem' is, which you still have not discussed..yeah, yeah, your 'stated' problem is not getting a response...response to what?...its of course your business..BUT if your email to them was 'rude' in either concept or wording, then that might be why you are being ignored...this respondant cannot guess of course as there are no clues...

anyways, you might try pming either zab or limenathan via this forum....

If that's the case, and I suspect it is, then they should at least advise people that they may need to wait a couple of weeks for a reply by updating their auto-response. The question is, how to notify them...

And who told you that? The support staff? Have you ever spoken to them?

Actually, I don't think you can even send a message through the support web page unless you enter your e-mail address. If your e-mail address isn't in their Pro database, it might not give you access to the online support form. I haven't tested it, but this would make sense...

I guess it also depends upon how you ask the question(s) to support. eg: If a user asked, specifically, for warez, if they are extremely rude, incomprehensible, or writes something to the effect of "it doesn't work," they will most likely not get a response. Support probably try to answer every email that they can, but also need the users to help as well. Just as we do on this forum such as here System details - help us to help you (click on link) (which is specified in the forum rules!!!) So if a reply is slow perhaps one of the above reasons is why. Just a guess. So you know what you probably need to do to get a speedy response!
