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 Do Not Download This Program

well done lime wire on creating a program with so much advertising software it destroys a succsessful companies computer.
When downloading this program in good faith it put so much bull **** on, that when we tried to delete it all out (the software still leaves files behinmd even with windows uninstall) we lost vital pieces of windows, i might add putting us behind a week in our strict schedual.
If it were not for the fact this is free software we would be considering stern legal action.

Same thing happened with our company, we consulted legal advice and decided to let the case rest. One day these people will do it to the wrong large organisation.......

I'm sorry you had a bad experience using LimeWire. I recommend that you take care when removing components manually. The LimeWire uninstaller will never remove components necessary for Windows to run.

This is a new one, a destroyed computer? And the good folks at LimeWire didn't do anything wrong. There may have been a conflict between your computer and Sun's Java, or the uninstaller had an error, but, tell me who installed the program in the first place. I'm sure it didn't install itself, so who?

If you post a question, you'll probably get an answer.
If you post a flame, there's only one thing you'll get back . . .

spend the money and get the the commercial free LimeWire...
I removed the old versions of LimeWire w/o any trouble and I am far from a computer genius.
Go else where, leave us alone.
Your shared songs probably suck anyway!

LMFAO ... what a crock of poop. Limewire destroyed "we lost vital pieces of windows" ... well, if you had the remotest clue at to what you were doing ... I dont think that would have happened. In the business its call an ID-10T ERROR (idiot error) ...

Plus if it was so viatal ... why didn't you have a backup? If YOU lost it w/o a backup ... its no fault but your own.

Cool

Hello!

Am I getting paranoid or is this person maybe trying to scare people of downloading a program in this case LimeWire 2.5.3 to get involved in the p2p community?.

Somehow it does not sound credible.Someone from a company and yeat does not use even a nickname and also claiming that LimeWire has so much adware it destroyed his/hers computer upon removal.I dont think so!.Maybe a RIAA representative?

If a computer breaks it is usually the result of neccessary system software components that gets deleted.Other culprits are corrupted HD directory.Companys should always have back ups and also have a technician that checks up the computers and if neccessary run disk utilitys when a corrupted HD is detected or perform other neccessary maintenance.

An advice never delete anything unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing.The broken Windows was the result of your own incompetense and not LimeWire!
