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.

Angry I am very upset- was mislead into spending $27.80

I am extremely upset. I went online and using the MSN search engine I typed in: download Excel. I need Excel at home to learn it for work and was looking for a place to download it.

I saw something for a site that said:
Microsoft Excel - Full Version $27.80 - fullsoftwaredownload.net
Download all versions of Microsoft Excel for only $27.80. Download now and get 24/7 full support, extra software and...


I signed up through this place and paid the $27.80. Basically it just has you download Limewire. Here is the part that burns me up. (I have been unemployed, am broke and needed this Excel to practice for a new job coming up) I searched for Excel or MS Office on this Limewire. When I downloaded it Limewire said it could not open it for security reasons. I downloaded several different ones and it would not let me do anything with it.

I feel lied to. The listing on MSN search said I could download all versions of Excel for $27.80. This is not looking to be true. Please help. This place said that even if you get your money back they keep $9.95 of it.

Please help asap.

Sincerely,

Heather

FYI: Openoffice is a good, free drop-in replacement for the MSOffice suite. You can use its Openoffice Calc to practice your Excel.

Don't feel bad. Google got me here - spent 17.99 for a copy of microsoft office - downloaded 1 copy and McAfee immediately said it was a worm virus. Sadly debit cards don't offer the same consumer protection that a credit card offers so I am out of luck.

How are these sites linked?
I paid a membership fee at ultimatesoftwaredownloads.com.
That fee gave me a page to download Lime Wire.

The Help page in the Lime Wire program is what lead me to this forum.

So... does Lime Wire have a program in it that does not contain viruses? Should I try to download a different copy? And, why are we all on this forum? What does Lime Wire offer that would keep folks coming back to the site/or using the program?

Hi kimberlyn,
If you were scammed into paying for LimeWire, read this:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

As for viruses - if you get your version from the official site it will be clean. Scam versions are a different story. Read the thread, it will explain heaps.

You'll have to decide for yourself whether you think LW is good

There is a limewire pro which costs about $18, but you download that from their official site.

google and MSN search do not hold responsibility for the sites they link you to.

Thanks for the replies. It turns out that I did pay for the Pro version so the fees were normal. Also, found a great copy of the program that I needed. Who ever shared it was even kind enough to add a note explaining how to register it. What a dear person that was... and what a great program.

Kym - now offically hooked on Lime Wire
