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.

Angry LimeWire Pro? How? US isn't the whole world!

Hi! I'm living in Pakistan, and here to pay through the net is highly INSECURE.

Why isn't possible to send just the cash as I did for Acquisition?

It could solve my problem, give you more supporters and it can be done. BTW, snail mail is still reliable all over the world.

As soon as this option is available, I will go Pro, till then I stick to Acquisition, that, btw, is very good

Tanks

Hi, murasme! Yes, of course, but there is better support and there should be faster downloadings (important for a 56K dialup connection).

Moreover, I feel that using the work of others oblige me to contribute in some way, and 20$ are not a big deal to relieve my conscience!

Therefore I will stay with Acquisition and only occasionally use LimeWire.

Still I can't understand why I cannot pay cash!

God bless

Paolo

Hi pvmantel--here's a few more avenues to consider:

did you try service@limewire.com ? I saw that LW only accept money orders from the US. Wonder what the story is behind that decision! I've used paypal for years (several times for LW Pro) with no problem though, so I can't comment on its overseas security.

fyi--search for posts by" aharris" or "gbildson"

They are the business guys at limewire http://www.limewire.com/english/content/team.shtml --and sometimes drop into these forums. I think they'd be interested in your thoughts

btw--although I supported Acqx in the past, I've stopped for now since Acqx 109.6 is reporting itself as LW 4.0.4. Dave, the developer of Acqx, argues this is honest (Acqx does use the work and effort that the LW team and opensourcers put into the Core), but I'm still waiting to see what Dave gives back to the LW core community. Bottom line: I feel guilty using Acqx for now. There are lots of ways you can still "give back" to the LW project, especially if you have international experience with other languages. The opensource page at http://www.limewire.org/ should be back up soon with all the options, but in the meantime, the developers are very appreciative of contributions in the beta forum and the work that murasame and others do to help out on the forums.

Cheers

Hi Stief! Thanks for your comments and the insight I didn't know about the relationship between LimeWire and Acquisition.

However, as a very normal user, I thought to rise a LimeWire Team's problem. The 20 buks "fee" isn't my problem, I can use the free LimeWire or Acquisition and this is the end of it.

What I cannot understend is why I cannot put 20 $ in an envelop, send it to an address in US, where a Secretary or a volunteer can put the money in the bank and email me the Pro code. (BTW if I loose 20 buks, I'm little sorry, but if my credit card number is stolen, I will be very sorry!!! And out of US, sending CC numbers on the net is not very common, yet)

I did it with David and it worked, why not for LimeWire? But this, luckily is not my problem! It was only a suggestion because every time I open LW it reminds me to go Pro.

One final comment, I'm a Computer illiterate, so how can I go to the forum with "developers"? I can translate from English to Italian but nothing more.

Cheers and God bess

Paolo

Hi Paolo

I understand, know it's not 'your' problem, liked the way you proved that not everyone is greedy, and hope the LimeWire guys do too.

Welcome to the forums. Email me and I'll try to get you a LW snail-mail address.

While you are waiting for your official Pro page, you can always use http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/LimeWire.html which is an opensource build of LimeWire put together by another volunteer Jens-Uwe Mager. It's usually the latest version (not fully tested) and helps work out the bugs for how LW works on OSX.

cheers

Hi Stief! Thanks for your reply and kindnes, but......
Now I got a problem!!

I followed your directions, went to the mager.org site. It was advising me to use the LimeWire.magnet.link instead of a browser. I did it but Aquisition opened!

I closed it and opened LW, clicked the suggested link, still Acquisition opened. I closed everithing and clicked again, still Acqisition opened, I kept it open, but nothing happened,

After 10 minutes, no downloads in Acqx whatsoever, no dmg images in the Desktop or in any other folder. Nothing. The connection was OK. I closed everything, not knowing what to do.

This gives you an idea how skilled I am in the computer siece!!

Sorry for that, however, next time, if you don't mind, I'll write directly to you, because this discussion is going to be of no general interest.

Thanks and God bless

Paolo

If you want to risk sending money, go ahead.

We just have a problem with foreign checks and money orders. We have a bunch sitting around that we can't cash.

Thanks
