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 Download again

My email address is not recognised in Limewire Support, therefore I cannot download LW Pro v4.x again (reason being that I had to re-install my PC).

Also it appears that after the original one-time payment, there are no further charges. Do this mean that the owner of LW Pro has indefinate access to music and other media files, without any further subscription fees or charges? If not how does one opt out?

I'm sorry to say but you've been scammed. There's no one time payment. Pro costs US$18.88 for 6 months worth of updates & email support. Basic is free. The only place to get an official, clean version of LW is www.limewire.com

Here's some info on membership, scams & how to get your money back
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

You need to contact your bank/CC company & report it.

Good luck

Thank you birdy,

As far as I know I did purchase LW Pro from www.limewire.com

After the 6 month subscription expires, is that it? No auto-renewel (if one does not elect to re-subscribe).

No, there's no auto renewal. You'd be offered a renewal at a reduced fee, that's all.

Sorry if I made you panic, lots of people get scammed with once only payments offering a "lifetime membership" & end up getting doctored versions that don't work properly or contain malware!

Forgive me birdy,

I should also have asked: Do you know anything of the web site free-limewirehq.com (curiously, this site accepts my email address, however www.limewire.com does not).

Hmmm...maybe you got LW from that site? It's definitely not the real thing, I just had a look at it.

If you did get LW from here, it's still dodgy. Even though you didn't pay for it. Because LW is open source, it means that scammers can doctor it (add spyware etc). This is the reason that people are always told to only get it from the official site.

If you want to upgrade, please do it from limewire.com...then you won't have spy/adware problems. You don't have to buy Pro, you can get the latest free basic version & try it out.

I do appreciate your advice birdy.

It seems you have cleared my suspicions.

I have not been charged anything beyond the initial purchase ( as far as I know through the official site, as I recognise the screens, from last Sept/Oct).

Therefore will resolve to leave it at that.

Birdy,

Sorry to trouble you again (I know I said I’d leave the matter, but…..)

I can’t contact the official LW Pro site for support, as it does not recognise my e-mail address.

The LW site doesn’t seem to have e-mail contact otherwise nor a postal address. Would you, per chance, know of a way of contacting them (other than phone).

A big ask, I know, but will appreciate any help you can give me. So that I might find out if indeed I paid them (the charge on my bank statement is ip-mp3support.net which is the manner that the other site says it will bill, of course one could expect that they would mirror the official site’s manner of posting charges).

I have the password issued by return e-mail (at the time of purchase). But there doesn’t appear to be a provision on either of the sites to use this.

Ok, this might clear it up

The charge on my CC for buying the official Pro is to
LWL*Limewire LLC

Here's a link for contacts when probs arise with the purchase of official Pro
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...500#post190500

But you have to understand that there's nothing that LW can do in cases where the program wasn't purchased from the official site." ip-mp3support.net" is not www.limewire.com

Limewire doesn't issue you with a password when you buy Pro. If you contact anyone from LW about this (as per the link I gave), please refer them to this thread (copy & paste the url into the message) so that they can see what is going on.

If you paid ip-mp3support.net for your version, you did not get it from the official site. They probably gave you a link to the official site after your payment was processed. It is still a scam and there is absolutely nothing that LimeWire can do for you, except advise you to stay away from these scammers in future.
