Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

If you had actually read my original post correctly I wasnt blaming anyone and had in fact been resigned to what had happened but still you feel the need to arrogantly shout your cleverness that you weren't conned. Well done!!!

I do not blame LW for this problem either but i thought other people would like to know for information and maybe LW can look into it if not already doing so and stop these sites from ruining LW's name as i found it brilliant until the new 4.29 was released. i can confirm that i too paid money to this site as recommended in a well known monthly Rag i mean Mag after contacting the website i been told i was charged for the service they provide so wont pay them anymore simple. my credit card company also thought LW should take some responsibility but after explaining i did not originally access LW direct and these sites just direct you to LW they seemed to relent, still not getting my money back though but the card is blocked so no money can be taken.Not all lessons in life are free and this one cost me a few quid it could have been much worse. so let up on us newbies as we learn, more constructive comments help us not to fall into traps in the future, i look up to people who have knowledge and share it, those that snear and say things like you should have known better, in most cases i,ve found dont know as much as they think they do. But as i have problems with my connection and the info i am getting throgh the other posting and generally in these forums is very helpful i'd like to thank all you experts especially as i know i'm gonna need your help sometime or other in the future. bit of a long posting this sorry but hope this can help somebody.

You know, I cannot find your original post where you said I took a pop at you for being scammed.

Could you provide a link so that I can see again your original post and my reply that seem to have made you so angry?

Believe me when I say that I am not an arrogant person or believe that I am so clever that I can't learn from other people.

I will say this though, I work for my living and I hate it when someone tries to, or set traps to, take my hard earned money for nothing. I also use the internet to buy most of the stuff I own therefore I appreciate the value of money and appreciate the value of a little research before parting with my cash.

Thinking about it, maybe you should not be resigned to being ripped off, you should be angry that you were lied to and taken for a sucker (remember the saying: there’s one born every minute). Scam sites flourish because far too many newbies throw their money at them and then do nothing afterwards, except blame somebody else. So unless your money means nothing you should get onto your credit card company and demand your money back.




UK Bob

PS. Anger is only useful if it is aimed at the right target.

I really appreciate the trouble you take to write back to my posts and would like to gently point out that maybe you should read your own reply and apply much of it to yourself.

Default Please supply the site address when posting here

For anybody who does get scammed by scam sites, please supply the site address URL so I can add it here Known Scam Sites to help warn others & for other people's quick reference.

PS: ukbobboy01 please go easy on these people, remember they're very upset by what's happened. Their mistakes are obvious, they don't need to be run into the ground over it. The League of the Scammed approach you use is a little heavy at times considering they're already upset. They 1st need advice how to get a refund/cancellation of the transactions.
