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. |

 uggghhh Guess what? I got screwed as well...I'm new to this downloading stuff and I researched the best downloading sites via yahoo search after messing with Kazaa (hated it!). This review site came up with all these "free" sites...the site that was rated the best was ****MP3LIVEMUSIC.COM****, I was very confused when after I paid for it, it directed me to LimeWire Basic after paying for what I thought was: Billing information Membership type:Lifetime Full & Unlimited Access with 25% OFF! for a total of 22.46 $ USD Pro Version Upgrade - Movie Codec Pack for a total of 14.95 $ USD NetSpyProtector Option - Protect yourself from malware for a total of 9.88 $ USD Grand total: 47.29 $ USD The charge will appear on your credit card as P2PSupport.Net I am disputing with my credit card company right now b/c I cannot get anyone to answer me in tech support because of my work hours - they are closed by the time I get off... I told my cc company that I did not authorize the purchase (truly I did not!), can I do that??? |

 I too searched for free music on the Internet. Eventually I got to AllCoolMusic. They offered a lifetime membership for $34.95 and a two year plan for $.99 per month. The downloads would be free (and they have been). I chose the two year plan. Soon a charge showed up on my CC account for $24.95. I asked them about this. After an exchange of emails they converted my account to a lifetime account for no extra charge. I got a warm feeling. Best of luck with your CC issuer. |

| Re: uggghhh Quote:
Transaction Date; Name of Company; Transaction Amount and Disputed Amount; How I have tried to resolve the dispute. The credit card company have said that the amount disputed will not be paid until the matter is resolved. Meanwhile you would be advised to allow payment of the amount to the CC company so as not to incur penalties. I will post on this forum what happens. Keep watching, I do not give up easily.  |

| Lifetime Membership Dear Alfred You said: Quote:
So, this scam site (AllCoolMusic) decided to rip you off for $24.95 instead of $34.95 with an additional 99c per month and you are happy? Alfred, let me explain the facts of life. a) Your lifetime membership is to NOTHING because the so-called club you have bought into does not exist. b) LW Basic is free and LW Pro cost $18.88, for that you get 6 months worth of updates/upgardes, and is available from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml c) Get on to your credit company, tell them you have been conned, and get your money back. d) The P2P network consist of thousands of PC users like you and me from around the world, running LW, LWPro or some other P2P software on their PCs, this is what enables you to connect to and download from them and, likewise, them from you. e) Because the P2P network consist of thousands of individually owned PCs no one has the right to or can sell you access to this network, access is freely available. f) No one, no company or organisation can promise or guarantee that you will be able to download anything from the P2P network, PC users/owners (only) decide what they will put on and make available to share from their PCs. There are probably another dozen of so points I could make but I think you now have the gist of it. Alfred, do not let the scammers get away with selling you nothing, try and get your money back.

| Well, I have ALMOST been scammed! I guess that I have to thank you and my suspicious nature that this has not indeed happened. I wanted to download some tv shows legally. I searched the net and came across some sites. They all offered all these fabulous stuff... But, it did seem too good to be true. I tried to find what the others say about them. I found a few reviews that sung praises (quess they were scam too). However, I just wasn't comfortable with, for example, not even being able to see faq without signing in (and giving credit card number!!!). And I kept looking for some more information until I found this forum. So, THANK YOU for sparing me a great deal of frustration and money! |
