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 Stupid F-ing Problem To Have ! ! !

Okay, someone has GOT to help me again. 'Limewire' is making me SICK!!! Why the frickin hell can't it just work properly!?!?!?!? WHY!??!!??!! I have yet another problem that makes me feel like vomiting and screaming! Well, after I had that SICK problem in which 'Limewire' keeps opening up by itself every couple of seconds, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it again but nothing worked. I read the solutions in the 'Limewire acting wierd' thread but I really don't want to take the chance of deleting all restore points. What if it doesn't work?!?!?! Then I'm stuck with the problem and no hope of restoring my system again. System Restore is my only safety blanket. Is there any other way of excorsizing this Satan reincarnated disguising itself as a Limewire problem?

Man im telling you go back to your other forum you started and do what the guy says!! it does work because I DIT IT AND AM FINE I am the one who posted to delete your restore points that is OPTIONAL but a GOOD IDEA. If you want. create a restore point before you follow the removal instructions and IF you get screwed then restore back. If your pc is fine then create another one after the fix of the virus and delete the rest which will actually contain the virus and could re-infect your system. Its not that hard do do this really. If you dont want to delete your restore points then dont. After a couple of months though with about one restore point a day created automatically they begin to build up and should be deleted anyway. again YOU DONT HAVE TO DELETE THEM also the guy said to disable system restore while your removing the virus but i didnt and mine is working perfectly. i also couldnt do the ms-dos thing he said but i cant see the difference. Im telling you it works and if it doesnt i will copy you my Windows XP CD and mail it toy ou. It is legal to copy but you have to use the key that came with your computer and of course re-install everything. So you have TWO safetys one of course being the better option but just do what the guy said man it will work. I PROMISE

and p.s. It dosent delete ALL restore points just all BUT the latest i.e. If you had a point on JAN 1, JAN 2, & JAN 3 It would delete JAN 1, and JAN 2. JAN 3 would be left there. I would have edited my last post but my browser wont let me for some reason

kc0rkx_finch is absolutely right. Try the steps that I've outlined. They are perfectly safe! I assure you of that.

Disabling the System Restore feature is important when you are cleaning out viruses, adware, trojans, etc. from your computer. When restore points are created they are stored in a directory that is accessible only to the System account and not to a user. This keeps the restore points safe from misuse and tampering. Unfortunately this also means that any virus scan software you may have installed can not scan the files located there as well. This causes a problem if a file that is infected with a virus gets backed up into a restore point because now the anti-virus software can not clean it. Now if you ever restore from a restore point, that file that is infected will be introduced back into your system. Turning off the System Restore until you have cleared the computer of the virus ensures that the next System Restore point is clean (ie. free of the traces of the virus) so that it cannot be re-introduced on your computer.

You will be soooooooo happy once you try the steps! It will remove the annoying virus. Believe me!
