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 iTunes burned from CDs can't be shared by Limewire (OS X.4)

I can't figure out what's going on and the help desk at Limewire Pro doesn't answer my questions. We recently loaded a bunch of songs into iTunes off CD. Limewire is set to share iTunes library. iTunes is set to "share music". "Sharing" in Mac System Preferences is set with the firewall "off" and the box clicked to share "iTunes".

It's weird. It almost seems like anything we download from Limewire goes into iTunes, but anything that originates from iTunes (a CD being uploaded into mp3 format) does not get shared. Yet Limewire preferences lists iTunes/iTunes music as THE file that is shared.

I have ALSO tried copying the albums uploaded into iTunes (as mp3s) into my "shared" folder, and then listing the "shared" folder (users/(my name)/shared) as another shared folder in Limewire.

But none of these songs are being shared!

Is it possible that when you load a cd into iTunes (6.0), that apple has made the mp3 encoding UNshare-able???

Just wondering, because all I'm tryin' to do is give back, baby!

Thanks in advance for any help. -- 4trogan

What makes you think the files aren't being shared? Do you mean shared between computers using iTunes on your own network or within LW on the gnutella network. Have a look at the songs in the LW Library window & look to the right of them under the Hits column. Do you see any getting hits?

I added more songs to my iTunes library last night from CD & for this case, added those 2 albums to share for LW. They're listed in LW ok.

Lord, you may want to view the thread "Sharing music ripped with iTunes broken?" in the OS X forum, as what this guy is talking about is exactly what is happening to me. IOW, Limewire says they are being shared, but they are NOT being shared. I get hits, but no one downloads the files from me. So I guess I am talking about sharing within the LW network, not my home network. (Probably shoulda stipulated that first, sorry)

The very same files that LW says are there in LW prefs, are NOT there when I check from other people's computers. The only way these files are seen is when I use another computer in my house on our wireless network, and then of course LW signals this as putting the file in all blue stars. Otherwise these songs are invisible to everyone.

Could you create a magnet link for one of them & send it to me via personal message & I'll see if I can downld it & browse you. But don't post the link here. To send me a pm, click on my username & choose send personal message. To create a magnet link, see How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect

When you say you can't find it from other computers, are you sure you can find your computer? Also, do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

The problem could either be your OSX firewall or your modem/router's internal NAT firewall. For OSX firewall see OSX Firewall settings for Tiger
For your modem/router, it depends on brand & model. Check to make sure UPnP is enabled. See Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

Personally I often have my OSX firewall disabled. Only occasionally turn it on.

There is a link there for the airport but here's a direct link: Apple Airport Extreme/Express for Mac users[/url] * (NAT-PMP)
You would need to restart LW after such changes.

Lord, I just did what the article asked, and it did NOT work. Firewall (brick wall) is still showing in Limewire, even after restart. I just can't think of where this firewall might be coming from.

Could it be the ADSL modem itself?
Is it possible I am overlooking something obvious?
Were you able to browse me with the magnet link I PM'd you?
