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.

You d/led a virus. You can go to this thread and find some advice: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

Also in that thread is a link to Norbies World, you'll need to register and follow the directions. He offers free computer advice and can help you get rid of it.

Good luck.

Just for verification the virus is totally gone go to Norbies site. NorbiesWorld (click on link) Some of these viruses will leave a file in the startup items which needs to be removed.

I'm not sure how it works, but I suspect you've initially downlded a virus ... & that either multiplies or sends out messages for others to downld without your knowledge.

hey. well i tried the mcafee free scan and it found the virus but then i didnt know how to delete it or whatever. yesterday my laptop had Trend Micro pc-cillin anti virus. so i scanned with that after using mcafee's free scan and it could not find it. so i downloaded a 90 day trial of norton's antivirus. it found the virus, quaruntined it and everythings running great now.

except for now when i go to open limewire to download more music this morning it says that my firewall wont allow it to access the internet and to grant it access and it will work...but i dont get any verification messages to grant it access or not.. and i have my windows firewall shut off completely and it's been like this sence i got my computer. i checked the anti-virus and i have limited coverage on most things but the main icon says i have complete coverage so i shut off auto protect and it still wouldnt allow Lw to access the internet and open



does anyone have a clue on how to fix this....I NEED MUSIC lol


thanks for the help im glad i got rid of that virus..well i think i got rid of it because LW stopped opening up and giving me random files after i got this anti-virus

ill check out that norbies site just to make sure its gone but ive scanned my computer 3 times today just to know for sure and no virus's or anything came up


thanks again

alex

Go and take a look here:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=51361

There it is explained how to configure your firewall. Just do not run two firewalls at the same time. Choose one and stay with it.
