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.

360Share isn't LW, sorry but you were scammed. Check out the thread below
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...879#post119879

Basic LW is free, Pro costs $US18.88 for 6 months of updates & email support. The only official site to get either version is www.limewire.com & your email address won't be in LW's database if you purchased from a scam site.

You should contact your bank/CC company & report this, most have a department to deal with scams/fraud.
*Please edit out your email address, we're not allowed to post email details on the forum!!!

LimeWire has their own site, www.limewire.com , and you obviously did not go there...hopefully your lawyer has a clean glass belly button and he won't make the same mistakes you have

Default What did I do?

I think I may have deleated an important file that enables me to open up my limewire pro and now i can't do it. I have paid for the membership once already, and have used Lw pro alot b4, but now that I can't open it does this mean I have to download it and pay for the subscription again? If not can someone help me figure out a way to download the necessary files that I need.... please

Default All a scam

It doesn't matter where you purchased Limewire from as it is all a fiddle.
It says it is a one time charge with no recurring fees but yet they stick a irritating message at the bottom of the page which says that a new update is available so long as you PAY AGAIN. So much for the one off payment, lying gets

I'm wondering what the scam is? Limewire is open source? Limewire charges for Pro. What's the difference. They are free to compete and participate. You can't get a refund if it's not illegal. I got into this with 360Share from mp3musicaccess for ~$25, not knowing much about this field. Then got to know free Limewire and use it cos it's less buggy. Now can't connect to the other network anymore (out of business?) but they provided other info and useful service for a newcomer, and their network seemed to have some different good search results.

Use Goolgle to search for 360Share Pro Limewire scam, 360Share scam, 360Share Limewire scam Use the forum search to look for 360Share

If you're happy to pay for a hacked old version of LW Pro & pay for support that you can get for free then go for it On their site, they claim that the members area includes access to "a collection of tools that include video players (allow you to play the latest video files), CD burning application and much much more…" I bet they're all freeware anyway!!

Personally, I'd have doubts about any product that offers you a 'free' version, then requires you to 'register' your product & then turns out to be a 3 day trial

All you get is a re-badged version of LW that connects to exactly the same network (gnutella) as every other LW.

"Hacked old version" sounds right, and imperfectly hacked. But not an illegal "scam" exactly. We don't get support on free LW. Their collection of tools is freeware alright, but that's a help to newbies. If I knew of free LW of course I wouldn't have bought that.
But are they still in operation? I guess so.
