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.

Default Trying to get a refund from allcoolmusic.com.

Hi there,

I just found this site a few days ago when I was looking up allcoolmusic+scammer on Google and I need some advice. I wish I had actually found this site beforehand, but I'm glad to have found it now, so I'll get right to it and explain my situation:

In Jan 2006 I signed up on allcoolmusic to look for some rare songs. When I downloaded the software I realized it was Limewire (Sadly I had just downloaded LimeWire a week or so beforehand), so I requested to cancel out my account and I immediately deleted the software. I got a message back asking me why and I said it was a Limewire ripoff and that I wanted to cancel. They said okay, so I deleted their emails and figured all was well. I used my Mom's Debit card with approval from her first since the site said only a dollar. Beforehand I figured I'd search for some songs and cancel out my account immediately after.

I shoulda told my Mom to block them from her bank, but I didn't even think about it @ the time since they said my account was cancelled. A few weeks later my Mom told my she was charged $20 dollars! WTF! I emailed them again and once again they gave me the why do you wanna cancel BS and I told them, but I never got a reply. In Feb I was charged again and I emailed them once more. They gave me the same ol' BS, but I told them again I wanted a refund and my account to be cancelled.

They then told me I had to fill out a form, so I filled it out and they emailed me and told me to wait 2-3 days for a refund/my account to be cancelled. I never got a reply. I emailed them about 10 times within that time period up to a few days ago and they completely ignored me.

I guess they cancelled my account, but a refund was never given. A couple of days ago I used the same form again and suddenly a new email from their site entitled Refunds@allcoolmusic.com had replied back and said that I would only get a refund within the first 30 days I was a member and that I was not able to get a refund becuz it was too late.

I emailed them and told them it was complete BS and I said I wanted a refund no matter what crap they told me becuz it was their customer service's fault, not mine. I wrote a long email to this idiot and explained the entire situation and that I wanted a refund asap.

I said if I did not get one I was going to report them and that if they do give me back my money I will leave them alone and not tell anyone what they did nor report them (Which is a crock. I'm going to either way).

They haven't emailed me again and I'm about to send another form request, but I doubt I get the refund. I'm not sure though.

I want my money back, especially cuz it's my Mom's money and she was quite upset about it.

Should I keep nagging them about a refund/telling them I'll report them if they don't give it back or is there anything else I can do that will also get them to give me a refund? I'm hoping it's not too late, especially since their customer service messed up, but then again I'm sure they did it on purpose just so they didn't have to give me back any money. Friggin ripoff. I already told them that I'd hound them until they give it back, but I dunno if that'll work or not.

Has anyone experienced this before and gotten a refund or not? I could use some help/advice. Thanks.

Thanks. I've read one of the members that posted on here et voilà's posts about refunds, but they're trying to tell me on ACM that I can't get a refund becuz I went over 30 days of waiting, which isn't true. I've been contacting them for over 30 days or so asking for one.

I sent them another email. I doubt I get anything back since they're scammers, but I figured I'd try.

Hi there, is there anything my bank can do? I also gotta tell my Mom to block them from her bank in case they try to take out anymore money.

I probably will just report them and move on. It sucks cuz I had sites like Kazaa and whatnot, but I decided to join their site and usually I google sites like that, but this time I didn't. Lesson learned for sure though!

Do as Peerless suggests & contact your bank etc. They probably have a set procedure to follow in cases of fraud.

Some members have managed to get refunds from these scammers, there's a lot of info in this thread

Keep in mind, if you decide to pursue matters directly with the scammers, you'll have to be prepared to put up a fight. They can be very intimidating.

They actually have ignored me throughout the 30 days I've tried to get a refund. Finally when they sent me a form the refund department said it was too late, but I'm fighting it.

Otherwise they're good @ ignoring people.

BTW, I did find this online. I'm not sure if it's fake or not:

AllCoolMusic.com
701 Rossland Road East Ste 369
Whitby, Ontario L1N9K3

But if not I might add that address to the online report and to the offline one as well.
