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. |

 LimeWire sucks, its full of Spyware. You can scan it with an anti-spyware program, but not all spyware programs detect it because LimeWire's spyware is built into the actual program. I highly recommend that you do not download LimeWire.  |

| Novice newbie Dear All From time to time people like nicklopeke pop out of the woodwork writing all sorts of nonsense about LW containing spyware. What these people don't say is that they got their copy of LW from a bogus or scam site, where LW, being open source, is crammed to the hilt with malware. However, if they bothered to get LW from the following official site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml they would find that there is no spyware, virus or anything else installed along with LW. The only other way you could find malware in LW is from a bogus anti-spyware application showing false positives. The only recommended (good) anti-spyware apps out there are as follows: Ad-Aware SE 1.06 from Lavasoft. Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4 from Spybot MS Anti-Spyware (beta) from Microsoft. and they are all free. Anything else is likely to be a cloned rip-off version of Adware and/or Spybot. UK Bob |

| nicklopeke From one dummy to another, where did you get your copy of LW from? Here's another silly question, what anti-spyware app did you use to detect spyware in LW? Now, in order to keep this thread civilised, could you answer my questions so that we can move on to a logical conclusion. I'll just say this, I have been using LW Pro since May last year but I am not fanatical about it, I like using it but I have other apps which are more important to me. So lets both "smarten up", lay out your evidence. UK Bob |

| I downloaded LimeWire from http://www.limewire.com/ and used Yahoo! Anti-Spy to scan it for Spyware. I also downloaded SpyBot S&D and it didn't even detect the LimeWire's Spyware. |

| Well Peerless Guess what, our good friend nicklopeke used Yahoo Anti-Spyware program, now this is a bit of a laugh because Yahoo has admitted that they will track you around the internet, put spyware on your PC. However, I don't know enough about Yahoo Anti-Spyware offering to say whether it is any good but I do know a false positive when I see one. Nicklopeke was wrong when he said that Yahoo sees spyware in LW, it in fact sees the whole program as spyware. And that Nicklopeke shows that the result is bogus. UK Bob (see my attached *.jpg) |
