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.

Guess, the Limewire Program will only be as smart as the person using it !!
What does not work?? Do they not download (displaying "Need sources") or do they not switch into the download window after you've chosen them to download??
If you try to download files with many hosts (30, 40, or even more), they won't work since they are faked files shared by those who don't like file-sharing.

What do you mean with:
"....i had a song that was working in my library and now it doesn't work. "
Doesn't it work when using the LW player? Doesn't it work with any player??

If you want us to help you, you'll have to be more specific and less upset !!

Question Problems playing songs

I'm having basically the same troubles as some of the other users. When I donwload a song, it will download fine and all, but when I try to play it with the limewire media player, it shows up for a split second and then stops. When I try to play it windows media player, it will either give me an error message that I think is curropted file or will play for 20 min. with no sound. These are the 3 songs I tried:
*******
********
**********
I didn't download the ones with ..., and I tried basically all the ones there. I could download ******* (its a song if u don't know) and play it normal. Someone please download those 3 songs and tell me if its just me or everyone. Thanks

There is not much to add to what LOTR and I have already stated above.
Try to search for your songs under "All Types" use the artist name instead the song, search for the name of the album, etc.

Default No music playing...

I had the same problem, there are a number of posts on here that are fake. That being said, I had success with music when NOT using the built in preview and then going directly to and playing music out of my d/l folder. That worked for me, may not work for you, but...it's worth a shot.

Here's a recent trial I did in request by another user: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...highlight=fake
Just to make the point you need to be careful of spam results. Here's another: Turbo-Charged Connection but can't download

Also, if you're using WMP, don't use the Description option in the LW Library window after adding the files to WMP. WMP doesn't understand compressed id3 tags & thus wmp will refuse to play them afterward. LW will not be compressing them in future versions to give better compatibility with WMP. WMP is not such a good audio program ... really!!!
