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 Lime Wire Disappears

After purchasing and installing Lime Wire Pro, something happens, and the program and all files are removed from my PC. I was running Spybot and Adaware and thought that one of them may have been causing this, but I have discontined running both programs and Lime Wire Pro is still removed. It is totally uninstalled. The shortcut reamains on my desktop, but cannot find the program. I have to reinstall almost every time that I want to use this program.

I have used Spybot and Adaware SE with LW for over two years now and they have never, ever attacked, deleted or changed any part of LW. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that these two well respected and used anti-spyware apps are the cause of your problem.

Tell me, are you a member of AOL and do you use their anti-spyware app?

Yes, I am a member of AOL, but do not use much. I use Roadrunner and Firefox. I was using Spybot and Adaware.

I do not use anyother anti-spyware from AOL or anyone else. I agree that Adaware are Spybot should be causing a problem. But I stopped using just to test it, and Lime Wire still was uninstalled. No trace of it except the shortcut on my Desktop. Very strange indeed. Is there any log that can be checked to see what is going on?

Default AOL Account Holders

Darryl's Account

Most AOL users have, as part of their installation, AOL's own anti-spyware application, which I believe is a clone or version of Pest Patrol. This anti-spyware app, which starts up every time you switch on or reboot your PC, sees LW as spyware and always (without fail) deletes LimeWire.exe.

Now, you say that you do not have any other anti-spyware app but I bet you if you check either Task Manager or your start-up folder you will find AOL's anti-spyware app, you have to disable this (i.e. prevent it from starting-up/running) before you will be able to use LW properly.

Please note, every AOL user that visits this forum complains about the same problem, that is how I was able to guess that you were an AOL user without you saying so in your first post.

Also, I have a friend who uses AOL, but not LW, he told me about AOLs anti-spyware app is automatically installed when you first run the AOL disk.

Find that app and disable it.

Good hunting

I am using CA PestPatrol as part of the EZ-Armour software provided by RoadRunner. I used the Quarratine options to restore LimeWire, and will see if this solves my problem. Thanks for the lead on this anti-spyware program.

After that, dump pestpatrol. It simply doesn't work side by side with LW. Search pest patrol or pestpatrol on the forums & you'll start to understand what I mean. PP simply considers all p2p programs to be spyware no matter whether they have it or not. That's a poor design implementation of the program. But for everything else PP is a good program. Just they (the designers) basically stick their fingers up at p2p programs!!!! And say "you're dead!!!"

BTW you will need to reinstall LW. Hopefully PP hasn't done any damage to Java also. After all, LW is 90+% designed in Java.

Any other problems, try steps 1, 2, 3 & 5 here Fixes for Limewire
