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 Dear Des- 12 yr old wiz kid

Dear 12 yr old wiz kid - Des

I read your complaint with interest, but feel that you may be missing the point slightly. We mustn't attack superb media outlets like limewire, these people are keeping the spirit of the internet alive. They are putting their faith in people to use their service correctly...and they are offering it free i.e you pay if you want. Shouldn't we be looking instead to the parents that allow their children unlimited access to the internet? Yes there is a ' block adult content' box that you should have checked but more importantly your parents should be monitering your internet use. (for example-to register to this forum you need to accept a form stating that you are over 13 - ahem!) While the internet is full of wonder it is free for all to use, and -there are some sick folks out there kiddo. Why do you think that porno mags are kept on the top shelf? Yes, out of young hand's way. The same should apply to internet access. Pornography is real, it exists, and there is a big demand for it. What we must concentrate on is educating our children to deal with what they do come across and shielding them from sights that could be damaging to their development, not censoring the media.

Best wishes to you, and much happy surfing

nicholas

p.s
If you're really a 46 yr old lorry driver from Bristol - I'm very disappointed with you!

Beware of wmv, jpg, & even wma files. These formats are used for spamming by unscrupulous organisations & some others.

Try filtering these out! Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Filters>Keyword & individually add these words to your filtered list. These can be added or removed anytime so long as you press the Apply button.

LW itself has no control over what's shared. That's b/w the sharers (P2P.) Some points of interest on this topic are 1. Quality of Content on the Network & also 2. Fake movies & why

It is possible to control what's downlded. It is also a good idea to start to recognise the fake files out there. Generally by their size. For music it's a combination of size v's bit-rate. For movies it's definitely size & name. A very long title often not one to aim for. Those jpg & wmv files that show up in your search results as soon as you press the search button are usually spam & from the above. So filter them out 1st when possible. They are a replication of your search name but show up in all results otherwise with the same content. Often they may be named like H_A_P_P_Y So be aware; filter them out 1st.

haha, yeah sorry lorry=truck.

Don't get angry, get even. 'Lord of the rings' has given you some good, practical advice anyway. Good luck with your continued searching.

Kind regards,

Well if it's movies you're after, you'd better go with bittorrent networks. Limewire being excellent for mp3's or yes porn.
What ? you're shocked to see there's porn on the net ???
Welcome to the 21st century
