report greedy users!
 
so much time is wasted by users that don't share, I know, I sound like a grumpy old man - but I am so tired of all the selfish people out there that only collect files and never add to the network. It would be nice if you could report theses people for not sharing, then after a few reports they would get a warning from Limewire, if they still get reports then they should be banned. If someone on your sports team didn't play, you would give him the boot, so remember everybody, Limewire only works if everyone plays the game!

Don't forget that many share in other ways.

For example, someone running 24/7 as an Ultrapeer on a good connection can contributes as much as 1 GB of bandwidth daily to the network.

Plus, LW has no say over what people share or not. The network has no central servers, so really does depend on a community network. Asking LW to ban an individula for poor shares is like asking Ford to ban black-haired drivers who use cell phones ;)

Yes, it is good (even vital) when people share thoughtfully.
