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. |

| Another scam site Hi, my name is erin and I was scammed. It's been, oh, 24 hours now and according to my credit card company I can report it as fraud in three business days. Meanwhile I was able to get back to the scammer web page and demand a refund. Had to pay some international phone charges, but hey, I want my money back. They'll refund all but nine dollars. So I suppose I need to call the credit card company again in a few days and figure all of the rest out. But if it means I only lost $9, it's not so bad. But for all of you out there http://www.tvshowshome.com/ is another scam site. Of course, now that I look carefully, I was paying not for the Limewire, but for the support service that was provided. Exactly how they provide support for a program they don't own, didn't design, and as far as I can tell, had nothing to do with, is beyond me. And when I called up to cancel the "service" the guy on the other end wanted (demanded) to know if I had broken any copyright laws by downloading music or media files. I'll report back as the story unfolds. |

 They got me too! TVshowsHome.com got me too. The above advice of not registering for a site unless they offer a free trial is not bad. Also, watch out for tv.org. As for any of you asking your credit card companys to cancel the subscription as fraud, did it work, curious to know. I can't believe that in the more than twelve years I've been online, that I'd still fall for a scam like this.  |

 Update Well, I although I asked TVhome to return my money, they did not, the *******s. So I called the credit company and challenged the payment. I then had to prove I had gotten scammed, so I basically printed out all the web-page, highlighting the part where they promised free tv and then mentioned that the copyright infringment information that points out that you cannot download tv for free is not accessable until after you pay. So it was a bit of work, but the credit card company accepted my tale of woe (and rampant stupidity) and gave me back my money. They said that if possible (like if the company broke any laws) they would pass on the information to the fed. watchdog that goes after sites like this. The moral of the story is, if you get scammed, COMPLAIN!  |
