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. |

 Please don't complain to us about LW drumming up business...the helpers here are volunteers who do not work for LW. You've posted onto a thread about LW not connecting. As far as I can see, your post has nothing to do with LW's connection to the network. Go through the forum sections, find the one most appropriate for your post & start again.  |

| LW still won't connect No offense, birdy, but you're kind of an idiot. I'm having the same problem as so many other foulks - LW works for awhile - quite nicely, I might add, as i got several hundred good downloads in 24hrs with littls effort - then suddenly I'm stuck in the Setup Wizard. I've tried the fixes suggested by you, LotR and afew others, but no dice. If you can't see how that applies to the current thread, maybe you need to get some sleep. Oh, and if you'll notice, I never stated or implied that anyone here worked for LW - I implied that the bug in the freeware version might be left intentionally to nudge people into buying the "pro" version - which, according to the thread, has happened.

 LW says it's connecting and never connects!! It sounds like I'm having the same exact problem. I've had Vista for over a year and LW connected with no problems till about a couple of months ago. Now, I open it and it says it's connectign and never does, I have also tried everything as far as uninstalling and reinstalling then I just recently switched to LW Pro and it still doesn't connect, I have also tried going back to all of the default settings, going into my computer settings and trying things there, and messing with my firewall configs and still nothing!! Can someone please help those of us with similair problems? I think it would be greatly appreciated by all of us!! |

| Shannon4 Sorry to hear it, but I gave up battling LW and loaded FrostWire. Works like a charm and even recognizes LW downloads! Okay, only SOME LW downloads, but still - not quite starting from scratch. Try asking LW for your money back - that might work! ;> Good luck. |

| I am having similar problems. We have two computers that use LW. The second has Microsoft Vista on it. It was working at first. Now it says there is a firewall issue. Can't figure out where. We have turned off or disabled all the firewalls, but the message is still there and LW will not load. Any suggestions????? |

 Don't forget VISTA has it's own firewall. Make sure it has a firewall rule allowing LW full access; User Cant Connect - LimeWire  FYI: routers will not allow two programs or two computers to use the same port number. A router will reserve one port per program per computer. If using both LW's at the same time, your router, if wireless in particular might be struggling to cope. Wireless devices tend to be erratic & unreliable with bandwidth use. You can also try suggestions here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html |
