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. |

| Ripped off too (I think) http://www.mp3downloading.com This is the website that took £27 ($48) off of me back in June. I have been thinking all this time that I was doing everything by the book and had a lifetime membership to download. What an idiot! It is past business hours now, but rest assured I am on the phone to my bank first thing tomorrow. As for the rip off website, they have no e-mail contact address and the only phone number available is in St Kitts! It will probably cost me more than the money originally spent to call them. The only other alternative is a live chat option, which I'm thinking will be my best bet. No way I'm letting this rest. I will fight all the way, not for my moeny, but for the damn principal of it all. I'm so pissed right now I can't even tell you! Thanks to everyone who has highlighted other cases, and good luck to all those persuing justice. Even if you have only lost a small amount please report these scam artists. |

| I sometimes wonder if the Credit Card companies or the Scam sites are the greediest low lifes. I think if you can show your CC company that you have been the victim of fraud and that you have paid for something you did not get, they should honour their guarantee of protecting customers from fraud. Have a look at the small print and see if you can do this ... just a thought. At least change companies, or at any rate your card number, otherwise you will have to do this all over again in two years time, if they dont start charging you for things before then, that is. Good luck  |

| americamp3network.com scam Thank you all for the information concerning the Limewire clone sites. I had not even realized I'd been suckered by the people at: /http://www.americamp3network.com/ Dang! Double dang. My concern/question is this: I can accept (bitterly) the cost of my "2 year membership" as the cost of an important lesson- although I am trying to recoup it. What concerns me more is the idea of unknowingly having downloaded something icky (like spyware) when I downloaded Limewire. Is that possible? Does anyone know anything more about the folks at americamp? Are they just in it for my $46 dollars? Are they trying to get in to my computer? Will they try to charge my account now that they have my information? Any other "satisfied" americamp customers out there? Sorry to be ranting. I'm just wondering how deep these scams can go. Thanks. |

| Some More Information Etravelslight The following info covers most, if not all, scam sites like Americamp3network: 1) They are primarily in it for the easy money they make, remember you said: I had not even realized I'd been suckered. Now imagine the thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) from around the world that have paid their money and still have no idea they have been suckered. Now multiply that by $46.00, that is a huge sum of money for investing next to nothing. Is it any wonder that scam sites or on the increase, newbies make it just too easy. 2) Most scammers just give you a link to download a freebie P2P software, like Limewire Basic or Bearshare Lite, but others can and do put viruses and/or spyware into the version of software they let you download. The only way you will know is by running an anti-virus and anti-spyware app. I would go one further and suggest that you also delete the rubbish you downloaded from the scam site and download the proper software from the official site. One final thing, other forum members have found that although they are ever increasing numbers of scam sites on the internet they all tend to be owned by a few major, yet unknown, companies, some situated in countries with lack laws.

Is this the same scam guys..I got the e-mail confirmation and a phone number for support contacts? Have I been duped? This is all on LimeWire. |
