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.

Angry My Subscription

I paid for the Pro version about 4 months ago and it seems that the site doesn't recognize that. I know I paid because the money came out of my account. So what do I have to do to get my subscription recognized?

How much did you pay for pro and are your sure it was only 4 months ago. Pro is $18.88 for pro and 6 months of free upgrades. There are allot of scam sites that sell people LimeWire. If you did get it from the official site the you can mformel A PM and she may be able to help you.

I don't know but it will be at least after the weekend. And if you did get it from the official site you should have a copy of your CC statment saying that you got it from LimeWire.

So you're saying that if I am unable to provide a statement showing that charge, I'm probably going to be out of luck? I ask this because I'm in the military and I have just arrived at my new duty station here in Florida. So as you know everything is more than likely going to be packed up somewhere. I didn't keep it with me because I didn't anticipate this happening. I figured your site was a little more reliable than that.

Thank you for being in the military and being part of our Country's defense.

It is not my site we are all just volunteers here. We are not associated with LimeWire other than users.

When you purchased pro you should have received a e-mail with a link to your personal download page. Hopefully you saved that page it tells you to save it to your favorites when you receive it. If you did not receive this page you were scammed. When the download page is sent it creates a log of the date and is stored on a server. If it goes past 6 months the log of your e-mail addy is deleted. I am guessing you did not save the installer to your hard drive or burn a backup copy. On rare occasions the server may be having a problem but if you purchased it less than 6 month's ago and from the official site they will be able to look you up manually. But if you are not in there and you don't have the receipt how can you prove you bought it. There are literally 100's of scam sites out there selling LimeWire and 1000's of people are scammed daily we see it all of the time on the forum. So unfortunately if you are not in the data base and don't have any record of the transaction then you may be out of luck. Can you return something or get a replacement of something you bought at a store without a receipt. But I would give it a shot anyway.

I do have the installer on my hard drive for the 4.8.1 version. I purchased it on 18 Oct. 2005. So it was five months ago instead of four. But how can I tell if this version is the basic version or the purchased one? I know that I was under the impression that I bought the lifetime subscription. I even told friends about the price of the lifetime version and how much of a good deal it was. But if I ultimately have to repurchase the subscription, can you tell me if this is a lifetime subscription? And after the 6 months of free upgrades, what happens if you want to update after that? Will I have to pay another $20? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Ouch you were scammed 4.8.1 came out in March of 2005 and hasn't been available at the official site since June of 2005. Their have been around 50 releases since then. http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml You can check and see if you have pro by clicking on help while LimeWire is running and then click on about LimeWire. If it is pro it Will say so. No LimeWire does not have a lifetime subscription. And yes you will have to pay for pro again after 6 months if you want to upgrade. But if you pay for it within 2 weeks of the expire date it is $14.95 instead of $18. If you decide to get Pro only get it from the link below. You can also get basic there which is fee and is probably what you have been using.
