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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

Cool spybot

I've never gotten anything bad from limewire, but i only get music and avoid all those obviously fake files that are too small etc. But i downloades spybot search and destroy just to see what it would find. HOLY CRAP! 3 pages of stuff that wasnt s'posed to be there! and i dont mean cookies either. What a great little tool, everyone should have it.

limewire also does not fully uninstall either using their uninstall program or windows add/remove feature. It leaves junk in your registry and you can only remove it by messing with the registry or utilizing the windows configuration utility and unchecking it from loading on startup (what I did). So if you are getting a "WJViewer error- main could not load" after uninstalling....that's why.
As for the dialer...I have had success in using "find file" and finding every file created in the last day and delete the ******* from there.



limewire now sucks.

Thumbs up Response to German Dialer -- Got me too

WARNING TO ALL: DOWNLOADERS PLEASE READ: BE CAREFUL OF x-FINDER Disguised as what U want!

While doing a search for "Teal" software I came across what claimed to be "Teal_Crack".zip. When I opened it (and before clicking "install" or otherwise giving permission) it slammed in to my start up menu and could not be deleted. It did not appear in "Add/Remove Programs."

Only by using a registry cleaner to delete from start up menu was I able to then go in and find it (hidden in program files under WINNT/Dialer!) and ERASE that *******.

It will disguise itself as almost any app YOU are LOOKING FOR; I don't know how to trace these pricks because I didn't note the Location Number -- but IT IS AROUND 70k and will appear in the EXACT WORDING of what you were looking for.

Take care everybody -- please leave this very small text file in your shared folder.

Default No That Easy

Not that easy, my friend. These things don't often call 900#s. I have DSL and no modem/phone line -- still don't want that UNSOLICITED CRAP on my computer, and neither should you. God knows what other harm it could do, and no on asked for it. It is fraud, basically.

Several other members have posted instructions -- one girl in particular--with clearer instructions than mine for getting rid of it. Please give it a try if you end up contracting it -- the effort is worth it.

Umm... It's now limewire's fault you got that virus. Even if you don't download .exe, vbs, etc. files, it's still your fault. .Zip files can contain all of those types of files.
Oh and about the kiddy porn? That's not limewires's fault either. They cannot be held liable. The reason: In order for them to be able to effectively block, delete it, and ban the ip addresses, they would have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on photo recognition software that would take precious gigabytes of hard drive space, take months to download, and also, software like that has not been invented yet. They could just filter out the file names, but that wouldn't work. Some do not even have regular file names so people get tricked often. I once downloaded a zip file that supposedly had a song in it. It instead had some really sick kiddy porn.... I hope those people burn. MWA HA HA HA HAAA!!!!! Also, if you find kiddy porn while browsing a host or searching (hopefully not for that), then I encourage you to report those IP adresses to the proper Authorities.

Have a friend in London having troubles with a virus.

With some time to kill due to rainy weather ( no, no... not tennis... I was ready for gardening chores!), I thought of checking out LW forum and ran across this thread. I proceeded to check it out for myself.

Runnnig a search for Spybot the following appeared.

Four IP addresses, seven offerings to share SpyBot SD, all files corrupt and virus ridden. A Norton Pop-Up appeared as each was added to my shared folder, telling me that a was removed from my system.

You may want to block these IP's
38.144.198.150
192.168.1.101
68.102.207.117
80.132.93.239

80.132.93.239, when browsed showed 387 files, all porn and other "helpful" and oft searched for software.

You don't have to go very far to find a terrorist or anarchist today, do you?
