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.

What's with all the potty mouth BS anyway? Grow up...

By the way, I'm sure DEEPBLUE (the computer) is not only smarter, but it probably has more personality than you..

Yeah, and at what point do you tell us that?

Oh, I'll bet that it's in here. It's really amazing what Google can do for you. I guarentee that if you pull your head out of your *** and look a little, that you will be able to find the song.

I don't suppose you could possibly imagine that deepblue has more than one meaning...

And the song is actually called *link removed*.

Maybe now we should have a "Scammed" thread in this forum, it's quite obvious that "therog" had not done his research before he started throwing accusations around.

If people want to download digital music there are lots of legitimate organisations, such as Amazon, Napster, Virgin, etc. in the US and here in the UK that will supply you with what you want. It will cost you something per download, less than a US Dollar or a UK Pound, but it is legal. However, if you are looking for unlimited downloads for a one off cost then you will be conned. There is no company or organisation in the world that can offer you an unlimited number of MP3 music for nothing, the copyright holders want to be paid.

If “therog” applied a little common sense to his internet searching he would have seen that he was being ripped off.

Correct! I said that in my third post of this thread and, again, My sincere apologies to LW.

What brought me to LW and this forum in the first place is, as I've pointed out, none of the "legitimate organisations" had what I was looking for. It appears to have only been published on vinyl. By the way, it's nice to see someone in this forum, besides myself, who understands the difference between "legitimate" and the intellectual property theft that goes on on P2P networks. ("The developers of LimeWire, or any other Gnutella client, are in no way responsibile for the content that is shared on the gnutella network". -deepblue. right, right, it's the users who participate that are to blame. not those who facilitate it for profit. makes perfect legalese-sense to me.) (by the way, deepblue, I'm quite capable of entertaining that idea without accepting it )

I understand all that, and from the begining, the idea of looking for anything on one of those sights (one price, or free, or otherwise) made my skin crawl, kind of like the idea of buying some electronic gadget from the guy that hangs out at the bus station and sells stuff out of the pockets of his trechcoat... the concept seems the same to me. I sacraficed my morals and I regret that much more than any money I might have lost...

Anyway, as I stated in my third post of this thread, I'll buy the vinyl and digitize it. The quality will not be quite the same but after I clean it up it should suit my client...

thanks to all of you for your time and particularly to www.mymusicinc.com for the life lesson. Now if I can just get my money back, I will have gotten that valuable lesson for free

Default A Hard Lesson

Dear therog

Just one more point, check that the scammers cannot continually extract money from your method of payment.

Learning this lesson is one thing but to be continually ripped off is another.

Be safe.

Well, accept it or not, but it's true. Anyway, I hope you learned a good lesson, I hope you find what you are looking for, and I hope you have a good experience with LW. Good luck.
