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 ***CAUTION*** DONT pay for the PRO version

Dont waste your money on the Limewire PRO version as it appears to be a scam. I paid for the pro version and when I went to upgrade as you are entitled to upgrades for a limited time, I upgraded and my upgrade time expired app. 2 weeks after I got my free upgrade. THEN the other day when I went to log on it asked me to upgrade to the "PRO" version again. This was AFTER I had already upgraded to the latest version. So naturally I went to the page to upgrade to PRO again and guess what.. luck would have it that my time had expired so now they are asking me to PAY for the pro version AGAIN!!! Just save your money and stick with the free version. Otherwise, you might end up being asked to pay for it all over again. I'm not happy Limewire!!!

It's not a scam. Everything is described on their website. You get Pro with 6 months of free updates. Around the end of 6 months you can repurchase at a discount. Now what is scamming about that? Didn't you read about what you were buying? Sounds like you're just cheesed off because you forgot your 6 months of free updates has finished. That doesn't give you the right to call it a scam when there's nothing on the LW site that is trying to trick anybody. It's all there described ... LW pro with 6 months of free updates & support. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml duh!

There's no lifetime of free updates for Pro. Where does it say that on their website? Besides you can keep using the version you have.

Default The scam IS...

The scam is that it took away the version of Pro that I DID pay for and booted me back to the basic version.. if its not gonna let ya have anymore updates then thats fine but let me keep the version and build that I DID pay for instead of booting back to the free version. They never tell you that you will be bounced back if ya dont choose to keep paying for it.

It's up to the user to save their Pro installers. You paid for Pro so keep the installers for the versions you updated during the 6 months!

Hey idiot, champbronc2, hope you realize the bogus version you are using will give you viruses? lmao. So, I hope you have an up todate AV and may the Gods give you a virus that slips by your AV and ruins your machine. Grin all you want moron, but those bogus version will allow hackers to get in your computer, besides other things.
