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.

Most likely the RIAA or music industry are trying to kill people's enthusiasm for downlding the most popular music by offering corrupt versions from those T3 sources.

See this about file size v's bit-rate: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28801

Default More Corruption

I've been trying for about a week now to download two files (primarily): mp3s of [Edit] and [Edit], and *every* copy I try and download, no matter the size, the bitrate, the number of people sharing the file, every last one of them arrives and I get the "file corrupt" message.

What I'm really angry about is that I upgraded from to Limewire Pro specifically because I couldn't get any kind of customer support as a regular old user... so I shelled out the extra money to access customer support and fired off an e-mail asking if this was a widespread problem because it seemed to crop up overnight for me.

Well, it says "we'll get back to you shortly" and that was 6 hrs ago, and now apparently I have my answer from checking these forums. What I'd like to know is how do I get my freakin' money back, because I *thought* I was paying for 6 months of the "high quality" service (actually I thought it was a one-time fee good until the collapse of the internet or the file sharing network, whichever came first), and it's been about 2 1/2 weeks and it's starting to look like this program's gone lame on me and I can't download anything that'll play.

Whoever's running the thing, hello??? Repair or refund, your customers are entitled to one or the other, I think!

No need to mention the specific details of any files unless you may possibly have a warning about 'dangerous' files such as Dialers or whatever...

The Forum Rules are prominently posted as Announcements in every forum here.


As far as your problems are concerned, please have a good search around these forums as there are many, many posts referring to the problems that others have experienced with the latest LimeWire upgrades/installs...

I am sure you will find the solutions you need...

Disturbs me how little input LW themselves are putting into the issue of filtering and/or stopping these files from coming through. Even if it is the RIAA or the IRS or the Swedish Mafia or who the heck ever, the Limewire server isn't run by babies. Whichever way you look at it, it doesn't seem like the people who collect the $$$ are putting much effort into this at all.
Granted, I have seen a big improvement in my search quality by trying out some of the suggestions made by some of you guys. But that's not the point. The moderators here are so used to washing their hands of problems and practicing blind faith in their beloved little program, they're now doing it without thinking.
Come on Limewire, you're wasting our f****** time.

Cool

These corrupt files only appear with songs that have only just been released ie. a couple months ago I couldn't get any of Simple Plan & stuff – Meaning, that if you wait a while, the industry is going to get the Cd sales it wants and move on to some other, more current title

Just a thought

hmmmm ... The only problem now is with ppl who leave the corrupt files in their sharing folders

Good point!

Yes it does seem to be with the most recently released songs. Just where possible be a little wary of T3 sources. Not all T3 sources are bad but make a note of the File Size Versus Bit-Rate can often identify those corrupt ones.
