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. |

 There are a lot of MOV (QuickTime) files on Gnutella which do exactly what their WMA/WMV equivalents do i.e., redirecting you to a website. Furthermore, Mac OS contains no magic whatsoever, if there are few viruses or even none, it's only because the small marketshare of Apple isn't worth the effort. That said, I'm pretty sure a lot of people are grinding their blades currently and as soon as the Intel-Mac is widespread, there will be a big gore feast. I mean, they really deserve to be punished for not skipping x86 in favour of the much more secure AMD64 platform at the very least.  |

| Likewise, VLC will not allow any type of file (afaik) to redirect you & that includes MOV files. QuickTime player however will! |

| since having problems recently with LW loading on its own i downloaded Ad Aware and Ewido antispyware along with my AVG and microsoft antispyware i love those new programs! I used to run ASquared which was also good, but for some reason it got corrupted. Even though i deleted it and tried to download it again it is still corrupted so i gave up on it. as for wma files...i never download them, but i make a point to scan everything I DO download before playing it! |

| I am new at this and I'm getting nervous reading about all these possible virus n adware. I have Norton Antivirus - is this enough? I read where someone says that before he downloads, he scans it for virus - can someone tell me how to do that? I'm also going to download programs mentioned here for added protection. I have only downloaded to two songs that when I tried to play it, it opens into MusicMatch and it still won't play - I'm worried that I may have downloaded a file I shouldn't. If I remember correctly, I think it was a wma file. Can I delete them from my system and how? Also, what are the safest options to set in LimeWire to prevent any unwanted file sharing and incoming virus or adware? I'm sorry for asking so many questions or sounding stupid, but I'm not computer savy when it comes to these types of programs. I don't want to bring any harm to my computer or anyone else. Thanks in advance. |

| Just wanted to let everyone know that all files on my computer that are of WMV format, are in fact safe to download. Almost all of them are of Guitar Lesson Videos (over 12 gigs worth). |
