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.

Default i got scamed

i was reading this site and realized i was scamed, i bought limewire off a site called mp3musicaccess.com. i chose the 1 year for 1.49 a month which came out to be 17.88 on my credit card then it kept telling me to upgrade for better streaming , so i did for 18.88. well i emailed limewire and they said that they only charged me one time for the pro version, and that someone scamed me and that they just linked them to me. so basically i paid twice for the same service.

Talking

Thank you all for your help. Im happy to report that i received an email from clickbank today and once i explained the situation they are sending me a full refund. If anyone else went thru clickbank, just send an email to their customer support page explaining what site you were scammed by and how it happened and hopefully they will refund your money as well.

Default New to this too

After reading about unnecessary fees for Limewire I feel I might be another sucker. I am new to this too and all I really want is a good site to download my favorite family type movies. I found Lightspeed Movies and paid them $29.95 for unlimited access. So far all have is a bunch a links to download and use for for free. I could of done that on my own! Has anyone got the angle on Lightspeed Movies? Are they just another scam? Should I have my credit card get my money back? Also, Limewire seems okay, but I have not been able to find all the family type movies for my kids. I find a lot of annoying porn mixed in with Dora the Explorer and Barbie. I have to hide the kids while I search for their movies. Is there something better out there?

Watch out for these guys. You pay for unlimited everything and then link you to LimeWire. They send you the "Videoria" video converter which gives me a "fatal error" message on my new Dell when I try to install it. It's a scam, stay with LimeWire

Unhappy payed

I just realized why limewire pro doesnt recognize my email address to be able to enter a support ticket!!!!!!!!! I did pay the $34.95 2 years ago through what I thought was a legit site. I had no idea that you dont pay except for pro. I do have pro, was able to upgrade, but need to transfer limewire connection to a new computer. Any suggestions how to do this? I tried once b4 and was given a piracy message.
thanks for any help

Hello I think I'm 1 of those silly people too !!!! I went to google last sunday looking 4 music download sites and havent got a clue ,kept looking at all the different ones and they all lead to limewire which I knew I wanted .I sadly joined one for £14.99 lifetime membership and £9.97 Pro Vison that I didnt ask for along with £8.88 spy remover that I also never requested !!!!! the site was ares-software-download.com , is this another one of those sites ?? they never sent an email to confirm and it said the 1st 7 days were free and you could cancel .My credit card has been charged £33.73 but fortunately iI have spoken to the card company and at the monment they are stopping payment to them ,So is this another one of those scammers ??? sorry to bother you all just that I would like help stop this ,as there ard probably thousands of us new ipod owners out there doing exactly the same as me.
Also the name of the company that took the money was www.mp3musichq.com this is weird as they have a help desk and phone no??
