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.

Are you using the e-mail address that you originally got pro with?

You may have changed e-mail accounts since getting pro, or if you have more than one e-mail account try them all

Default Have I been scammed?

Hi, I've just found this forum after days of trying to register at "limewire-software.com." I typed in Limewire at Ixquick and it gave me several choices. The one I went to was the official site - I thought. It even had the green lime etc. on it. I only meant to download the free one, but was cchatting to a friend at the same time. Next thing I knew it was asking for E27.76 - 2 payments ie. E17.88 and E9.88. I thought I had put in my e-mai address incorrectly, as I never received the e-mail confirming my membership and I've no way of contacting them as they look for the e-mail address if I go to try and contact them. I wonder have I been scammed. I even have the password they gave me, but I can't get into the site to use it! It looked very like the site you keep advertising in this forum.......

Signed: I'm an idiot!

Default Great Scam Site

Fed-Up

This is definately a scam site and check out the real name of the site, RealMusicNow.com.

When you saw the name change/redirection you should have abandoned the transaction.

You've read the forum and now you know what to do.

Gotta love these scam sites, of course after the 30 days was up they decided to answer my numerous email requests with a sorry your times up. So I sent them my zillion emails telling them no it wasn't and stop playing games. Next email was your refund is being processed LOL.

I have just realised that I too have been scammed. I paid using an option for two year membership at 60p a month for free unlimited access from the saem site on the first page of this topic. I am in the Uk and I am deaf and not used to using Pcs. I am going to go straight to my bank in the morning to cancel the subscription. Any other advice for me folks? I really like the Limewire, its brilliant and would be happy to get the Pro, but first am gonna sort out things with my bank in the morning. What should I say to them? I feel such a fooool! I am frightened to think how much money has been taken out of my account even though I only signed up 3 days ago...Can I get it back?

Default 60p per month

Is that direct debit or standing order at 60p per month or the equivalent, if its either of the first 2 then just cancel, if you paid a total price you will have to go back to the source and demand your refund. the bank wont be able to do anything or at least I dont think they can.
