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. |

 Does v1.7 contain spyware? I've been using 1.7 for quite a long time, I'd guess a little over a year (which seems to be an eternity for P2P software loyalty, LOL). I was wondering, does it contain spyware? I've been using Ad-aware for even longer, and I run Ad-aware daily, sometimes several times a day, and it has never detected spyware associated with my install of Limewire. I seem to recall during installation of 1.7 that I was prompted to install Dot Net, but I chose no. Does that mean that as far as Limewire is concerned that I'm spyware free?  |

| v1.7 If you're running the latest version of Ad-Aware, you can be pretty sure you're spyware-free. If you want a newer version of LW without spyware or ads, you can try Clean LimeWire. It was announced in this thread. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=11378 |

 Yeah, I'm running Ad-aware 5.8 with the lastest reference file, and also Zone Alarm, and Cookie Crusher for good measure. I'm always reluctant to fix something that's not broken, i.e. upgrading from LW 1.7. Unless there's some must have feature, I guess I'll stay with 1.7 |

| I dont' think 1.7 has any spyware, however it is missing a lot of features. Most significantly is the ability to download from multiple users -- multiplying the download speed. I'm also not sure if you have access to all the files the newest version reports, ie. if there are any features in the newer versions that make files exclusive to them (the peer technology, maybe). I have gone from 1.7 to the latest (on a mac X, and have found it much more reliable and faster). For windows I would recommend the Pro version or the Clean Limewire compiled by VTOLfreak (both without bundled sowftware). PS Does that cookie cutter disable password cookies also? Does it prevent viewing some sites? |

| RE: Cookie Crusher There are some proggies that I couldn't live without, and Cookie Crusher is one of them. It will prompt the user when a site attempts to write a cookie to the hard drive. You can then tell it to: 1. Never accept that cookie, and it will never ask you about that particular cookie again, it will never accept it. 2. Always accept that cookie, and it will never ask you about that particular cookie again, it will always accept it. 3. Reject that cookie, and it will reject it and prompt you again the next time that particular cookie tries to write to the HDD. 4. Accept, and it will accept it and prompt you again the next time that particular cookie tries to write to the HDD. So if the site that you are trying to access requires cookies, then you'll have to accept it, however, you can be very selective and accept only the cookie required by that site. You can block all the adware cookies, and the rest of the garbage. You can also configure Cookie Crusher to open automaticly when other programs of your choice open, such as IE, dial-up connection, ect. And then you can also configure Cookie Crusher to open other programs when it opens. For example, when I launch IE, Cookie Crusher automaticly launches, and when Cookie Crusher launches, it automaticly launches DU Meter. |
