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. |

 Mac Powers down frequently! Since installing Lime Wire my Imac G5 running 10.4 randomly shuts down. The machine just goes dead. Sometimes it will restart easily, at other times it may take 2 or 3 restarts before it stays on. It might stay on for hours or just a few minutes. Also, when it starts up it no longer asks for my password to log on to the computer. I spoke with Apple and with out spending $160 or so they won't help. The conversation led me to believe it was probably a problem with Lime Wire as opposed to the power supply going bad. Any suggestions? Also, I have requested help from Lime Wire support three times in the last week and no one has responded.  |

 I set my mac to not sleep. I have to do that due to my constant video converting. Perhaps you should do the same.  Logging on for me is automatic. Perhaps yours is also set the same way. Under OSX System Prefs ->Security You will see options for Disable automatic login, if that's what you'd prefer. Another point about the computer sleeping, you can set it to do it automatically in certain ways. Check the Energy Saver options & schedule as this might be a part of your problem. |

| I do recall there was an imac with a heat issue. If you give us some time (not today) I might be able to find more info about it. It caused it to be unpredictable. And if a system is unpredictable then LW is sure to bring out the worst in it, due to OSX's poor implemenation of Java. In fact, I think there may even be a thread about it on the forums. There's a 3rd party utility you can get to check for this problem. This problem had similar symptoms as you seem to have. As I recall I think it was one of the earlier G5 models unless I'm mistaken. As suggested, the symptoms didn't only necessarily happen with LW but was a problem non users of LW had. It's just that LW tends to bring these problems out to the surface more easily. |

| Here's one easy fix http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86817 If the power cord is not the problem, maybe the serial number is covered under http://www.apple.com/support/imac/re...ensionprogram/ And as LOTR pointed out--hardware problems are not a LimeWire related problem. |

| I'll see if I can find out more later from apple about your issue. In the meantime, you can get this free utility called XRG (click on link). BTW it might be worth searching apple yourself for this issue.    |

| It's not included in the Apple list of serial numbers. I changed it to not sleep., Now it occationally restarts itself instead of shutting down.  |
