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.

Deacon 72 you misunderstood me. I meant that I added 10 of my own files to share along with all the files that I've downloaded. I know that 10 files doesn't sound like much but at least it's something. I have many others on disk that I plan to make available sooner or later. I admit that maybe I'm making too much of this file sharing thing however if any readers at all happen to see these comments and change the way they share with others in a positive way then I have accomplished something valuable. Have a great day.

It's when file sharers turn off their bandwidth that gets my blood boiling or, they allow you to dl and cut you off anyway right in the middle of it, I have never cut anyone off in a middle of a download. The freeloaders are far from the problem, it's the ones who share that are the stingy ones. I share, and have used P2P for many years. I was on Napster and we had very few freeloaders. Maybe if people opened up and shared the networks wouldnt have died. Plus, there is the RIAA to worry about, and the MPAA. People dont want to get sued so they download but dont share.

thats why i really would like it if you can download from friends, because most of the time you can force them to share. how many freeloaders would be here, if they were forced to be accountable?

i wouldnt be suprized if i have been banned by other people because i have a large upload queue and it would appear that im not sharing at all. because when my upload slots are full, its nearly impossible to browse host someone.

Default browse host/uploading

Hello, I am relatively new to Limewire (2 weeks), and I am learning quite a lot. I have read with interest the threads regarding blocking someone from downloading from you if they don't share files.

When I first started using limewire, I didn't even know people could upload from my computer. Since learning that, I have gone into options and set it up as well as fixing my firewall to allow it.

To address the issue of connection speeds, I have a 56K modem, dial up, but my dial up speed is only 24k. According to my ISP, this is due to the antiquated wiring in this area, and is the best I can expect.

It does not stop me from allowing people to upload, it just is terminally slow. They say patience is a virtue. So, please, have some with us. Perhaps the people you are trying to access are also new at this and just haven't learned yet.

Browse Host? I tried it, sometimes I am succesfull and sometimes not. Just discovered inserting IP's into direct connect last night, and used my brothers number, who downloaded limewire the same time I did. Sometimes I was able to access his list and sometimes I was not. He said he had to try about 12 times to get into mine.

So I do not think blocking someone just because you cannot get into their computer is a good thing. Maybe this also just takes patience.

I would like to thank all of you for all the wonderful music I have been able to obtain since I found Limewire. And am happy to share it all with anyone.

And I am trying to read part of the Forum daily to gather all the info I can regarding this great thing called Limewire.

Oops I better un-ban you Actually there is not a great deal to be gained from banning people as I know in my case my ip no. is different every time I look at it.
If someone queues an inordinate amount of stuff, and I cannot for the life of me get their ip no to show up on any files I calculate that he might be sharing, I will ban him if I'm in a bad mood, and I think we all feel like that sometimes. I do however have a feeling that some people will share with a different ip no than they download. Perhaps someone at work downloading on his lap top and sharing on his work computer.

There are 2 sides to this question and after reading this thread, I might just sit on the fence.
and where I have said he read he/she

not a great deal to be gained indeed, but this is not the perception the normal user of limewire thinks. they think that when they ban someone, they are keeping the non-filesharers out of the network. well the download mesh has a high resistance to people being banned if the file is popular enough. (btw i have a static ip, so i must be banned for life )
