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.

Default Transferring Limewire 5.1.4 pro songs to itunes on Mac

Greetings again.

The answer to my own problem is simple. Look at Limewire preferences, then options and check the box, add limewire files to itunes. I make a playlist in itunes called limewire and the downloaded files from LW appear there.

Isn't life beautiful? Now if the cold rain would just go away.

Since you are using a mac, if you still have pro priviledges for updates, why not try out the LW 5.2 beta. It's stable, loads very fast, has quite a few improvements including search filters (& size filter). iTunes options are now both in same spot in on main preferences page. Just a thought. You would find the Beta Pro link on right side of your Pro download page.

Wanting very much to use Pr*nce "L*t´s m*ke a b*by¨ as sound track for i Movie production as a gift to friends who have just had one. All iTunes marked downloads from LW of this song don´t play.
Perhaps ALL the copies of this song are dysfunctional?
Love some help.

That is a possibility. Try playing them with VLC, that will be your God as to whether the songs are good or bad. VLC can play many more audio formats than iTunes can. (Also if you check Alternate Audio Players & support plug-ins you will see there are other alternatives which also can play a very wide range of audio files for OSX; eg: Vox)

If a song is popular, then there will most likely be more deliberately spread spam (corrupted versions) of the file.

BTW are you sure you are searching the correct artist. I did a search & found another artist (Billy ...) with that song. None by the artist you referred to.

God proclaims all of them to be false prophets bearing false witness, like the one that parodies Bill Clinton "not having sex with that woman" and another that takes you to iTunes store for baby gear.
Pr*nce lets have b*by is strongly represented among the duds and your suggestion of "...billy" makes no sound. Or is Billy the name of the artist? I really would like a song that does feature the proposal to make a baby.
VOX is a neat little box but I haven't worked the way to delete its playlist, not a click and drop process like VLC. Thanks for your prompt attention mi Lord
Spiral on!

Billy is the first name of the artist .. 2nd name beginning with Pa from memory & ends with ul. (I did not wish to name it here in breach of the forum rules on copyright & discussing downloading copyright material.) That's what I meant, are you sure the song belongs to the artist you suggested. It may in fact belong to someone else such as who I found in my search results. The album called 'The soul of sed*cti*n' ... I think you can figure that one out. But I'm not totally sure if that's the one you are after .. certainly same title of song.

Here's some things to check out for tips: Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see) & also How to find music

If a song in search results does not show a bitrate you can be assured it is a fake. Likewise some of the naming of titles are easily identifiable as spam ... and other type of fakes are deliberately corrupted .. do show bitrate but the bitrate does not correspond what to the file size should be.

Vox is cool. Only a simplistic program interface but has a very wide range of audio format playing abilities. It does have an export function also which includes Apple Lossless. A limit of export formats however.

No luck with Billy and his or her *oul *f *ion. Chose to move filter slider from semi relaxed to strict following a reading of How to find music and Virus thread. Wise?
Search for *f I we*e a c*rpent*er obtained 100% instant downloads all wit bitrates but registering "disk error". Mine or some other bug in cyberspace?
Thanks for any assistance in my quest
Spiral on!

I have my junk filter set to loose .. almost to the far left, and show junk results at bottom of search results. This is so I can double-check nothing is considered as junk when it is not. And still I get files registering as junk even when they are not.

The song I downloaded is a 'soul' song. Not sure if that's the same song as you were after. I could potentially upload it privately for you to double-check.

Loose is more my style. Just seeming to have more pertinent results at the other extreme...about which is it is EXTREMELY kind of you to make the offer and I accept it with glee.
Spiral on!
