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 New Search Engine For Limewire

The Limewire search sucks really bad.........

Honestly, I dont know why you guys even put a place for an artist when it doesnt even use it.
----------------------------------------------------------
For instance:

I Did a search for:

Title: Crazy Train
Artist: Ozzy osbourne

Results came up like this:

P diddy feat. mario Winans - I dont wanna know
Metallica - Enter sandman
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine
Ozzy - Bark at The Moon
Megadeth - Holy Wars
Ozzy osbourne - Sweet leaf

-----------------------------------------------------------

so WTF!!??

How the hell did it come up with P. diddy when I put ozzy osbourne in the artist slot. You guys should really re-build the ENTIRE search engine

-----------------------------------
Im using LimeWire Pro 4.04

-----------------------------------

ONE MORE PROBLEM

Limewire flashes a Gray screen every once in a while (the whole limewire window turns flashes gray real quick)

Is This what I paid For?

The LimeWire search engine depends on the meta information in the ID3 tags, and people are unbelievably sloppy about correctly labelling files. The fact that some spurious results are returned is NOT the fault of LimeWire. You should be happy that it returned hits for you were looking for and not complain about a little "noise", which happens with only some searches.

Glad you are enjoying LimeWire.

I tend to agree; but in the mean time, I found out that if I type a keyword in the "Video" box, and leave the "Type" box blank, I get the results I want and nothing else. For instance, I just typed in "lacuna coil" (w/o the "), and within 1 minite, I got 13 results...all Lacuna Coil.

I do think searches should be based on the filename, not the ID3 tag or metadata.

Many people appear to label their MP3 files with trackname only, ie "03 Summertime.mp3", so if LimeWire only used that, it search results would be much more limited and imprecise; you couldn't search for music by a given artist or from a specific album.

To repeat: As a search engine, LimeWire will never be any better than the quality of the data (in terms of organization) that is offered on Gnutella. That is why it is important that the ID3 tags are filled out correctly. I also think it is useful but to include the artist's name in the filename, but I seem to be in the minority. Have you ever browsed someone's machine whose MP3 files labelled by song title only? A nightmare!

I didn't say anything about searching for just the song title.

Just try it for yourself, type "lacuna coil" (w/o the ") in the Any Type box, and see what you come up with.

You must not be using LimeWire correctly. I tried the same search: the song "crazy train" by "ozzy osbourne". LW returned 239 hits, only ONE was spurious, the song "you can't kill rock and roll". (I couldn't fit all the hits in the screen shot, but you will have to take my word that all the others displayed below were the same song, including a remix with Madonna).

I have never used Kazaa so I can't compare, but I think this is pretty darn good.

You misunderstood. My searches for "Any Type", "Audio", and "Images" are pretty accurate, but searching for "Video" is a nightmare. I just did a music video search for Lacuna Coil - Heaven's A Lie...448 hits, none of which were Lacuna Coil - Heaven's A Lie. Yet the same search in the "Any Type" box revealed 16 hits for the Lacuna Coil - Heaven's A Lie music video.

Well, the best way to cmpare the two is to download it, and try it.

The thing is that UPs deal differently with searches on gnutella than supernodes on kazaa. This has both advantages and disavantages. Sure it would be practical to be able to search with " " the get exact expression or something like that. This has been discussed by LW devs but nothing was found as a right implmentation for now.

Different systems, different + and -. But Kazaa sure now is scrapped compared to a year ago. Gnutella is now much better, but nothing is perfect . There might be (are) adjustements to be made.

À+

Thanks but no thanks. I don't do Windows. LimeWire is Java, right? That means it runs on a whole bunch of other platforms. There is a whole world waiting for you out there beyond M$.
