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 Good file.... Bad file....

How about creating a unique id for single files (which already exist) then allow every user who downloads this file to click on a button inside Limewire to report a good, or bad file. The bad files reported should then be exempted from further search results.
A checksum that is deleted should never be allowed to return to limewire...
what do you think?

What happens when the RIAA marks every file as a 'bad file'?

Scan files before blacklisting, make sure they're trojans, virus, or corrupt, then delete them. If a file is marked bad and it checks out fine, then that checksum stays whitelisted until it is proven to be bad.

How will this happen? Will I need to store on my computer (within Limewire somewhere) a list of all files that are viruses, trojans, or corrupted? Or will I need to update my Limewire everyday with a new list? Who will I update with? I'm don't think the developers of Limewire feel responsible for people who infect themselves while downloading copyrighted material...you do agree not to download copyrighted material when you download Limewire.

Delete them from where?

Default junk file option

i thought the "junk" file option would be great.

until all my searches bring up nothing but "marked as junk"?

i actually thought it WAS all junk (why would all these people mark all this music as junk?)

i DL a marked file after i peeked in on a host (browse) nothing wrong with it.
obviously my idea of junk is different than some.

therein lies the problem. who decides what's Really the junk? just because i don't want to wade through porn on this site, doesn't mean someone else won't want to. if 1,000,000,000 people (or 1 person) don't like an artist that I like, does that make it junk?

I think it would be a good idea if LW did introduce a feature like that but it would be even better if you could see vote percentages and maybe even some feedback

I noticed the same thing. Whenever I marked specific files as junk (for instance all these .mov files Limewire gets swamped with - very annoying b.t.w.) I seemed to get punished by getting al lot of "junk" files in return.

Perhaps an option to filter these .mov files out would be nice?
