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.

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. |

 Clear Out The Crap I have just downloaded .******** 450 meg worth...or did I? When I launched it ,what do I get but some pseudo amuteurish Rap movie. This hapens all the time, Ipod selling, porno, amuteur arts projects, I've had them all and I've only been on the site for 4 days! Does Lime have any way of: 1 Filtering out the crap that pose as bona-fide titles without previewing everything before downloading? 2. Ensuring that searches give the client what they want and not what Lime has? Even though this is a p2p site there must be a way of tidying this up. This is a serious issue, i love the concept and the speed but this could kill your site. read the forum rules before posting Last edited by RaaF; January 11th, 2005 at 08:23 AM.  |

| Have I broken the rules by asking these questions? I see that the title that I mentioned was blanked out, is that the problem? Surely it's important that LW clients have as accurate idea as possible about what they should and should not download before they click. If it's impossible I guess we will all have to work around it. I understand the problems with p2p but this is a commercial site that will grow faster the better it gets. If it doesn't it will fail like any other commercial operation and I would like it to succeed. Simple as that. ps. what is bitzit? |

| Thanks for the tips and links LOR. I've also found that I get much more hits and fewer irrelavent results if I dont use the "type" box when searching. The speed with a good broadband connection is impressive. Keep up the good work! No need for Raaf to reply he's said his piece. per aduam ad astra |

| marciano, This independent forum is run by volunteers, and the ad banners cover the costs, there's no direct link with Limewire. So the customer - client relation you are reffering to does not aply here. You didn't buy any guarantee for successful downloads on demand, but : (Quote from Limewire site) "Your purchase of LimeWire PRO allows the Limewire Development Team to continue to improve the software and contribute to the growing Gnutella community." With P2P your downloading from other users like you and me, I offer something and I allow you to download it and viceversa. Sadly as in real life, improper use is beeing made of this system by spammers, sicko's, pranksters, scriptkiddys and last but not least the RIAA to frustrate the use of P2P. If you want to have a look at the quality of a file before you download it, You R-click it in your searchresults screen and choose Bitzi lookup. And, do the community a favour and report back to Bitzi if you downloaded a bogus file. (read on how to on the Bitsy site) P2P is what you make it, not what you payed for it. |

| If you're searching for mp3's make a note of their file sizes & the bit-rate & be just a bit wary of those search results from T3 sources. If you see files in your search results that are the same size but a different bit-rate then you know something is wrong. Prefer to trust the results from non T3 sources 1st! See T3 Spammers about this for music. And for movies, those wmv files that are spam advertising tend to come from T1 sources. Just a hint! |
