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 Bogus Anti-Spyware Products.

Dear LOTR

I am always surprised that inexperienced users grab the first product they find, do very little research, and believe everything their unknown product pronounces.

They seem not to realise that the rules that govern their high street shops are very difficult to enforce on the internet, so extra care must be taken when buying, downloading or using anything.

This naivety has lead to novice user "Blah blah blah" using bogus anti-spyware software when a little research would have shown that SpyBot, Ad-Aware SE and MS AntiSpyware are the only trustworthy products out there. The others are either poor clones, loaded with spyware themselves and/or money making gimmicks.

The simple moral is: Always do your research before downloading or buying anything off the internet.




UK Bob

Go to www.microsoft.com and go to the newsgroup.
There you will find that MSAS is still in the Beta stages. YOU will find testimonials from people who say MSAS has crashed their computer completely and statements from microsoft employees that say MSAS gives alot of false positives. The link given two posts above (thanks LOTR) will tell you that Spybot and AD-Aware are the best anti-spyware out there. Limewire is safe. (Unless of course you don't check your files before downloading them as many of us have learned the hard way. But this is not Limewire these are unscrupulous users.)

Don't believe everything Bill Gates tells you.

Ok Teekay,

Get your point.
Thing is I've had some stuff that has given me false positives but MSAS wasn't one of them.
This may be because my computer is a stubborn begga, or maybe not.

I'm no expert, that's the truth. But tell me this (cos I don't know) would you say that you were as experienced in computers as LOTR or UKBob (I've no idea how experienced they 'R'.) Now don't be takin' that the wrong way cos I don't know any of you, RIGHT?
I s'pose what I'm thinking is what does anyone really know...........(not much when it comes to me......)

Lindy xx

Microsoft's Anti-Spyware has had a series of updates that have reduced the amount of false positives. They no longer falsely detect a threat with LimeWire, and I suspect a lot of other false positives are removed too.

No offense taken Lindy-Loo. Nope I'm not experienced in any way with computers. I was just repeating what I read and was told when I was researching MSAS. I am in no way slamming MS Anti-Spyware, I am planning on getting it once it's out of the Beta stages (not brave enough to try Beta), I just love limewire and hate to see it getting a bad reputation based on software that is still not proven. So I was just putting in my two bits and trying to fight for the good name of Limewire. LOL

Have a nice day!

Question About Prevx

Hi UK Bob,
You know the Prevx that you mention above, can you still get it? The reason I ask is cos I had a problem with the version I had so I un-installed it. Now when I click on that link I can only get Prevx1 which is not the one I had.
The icon of the one I had was sort of a bluey green and grey star like thing and it was free. The one I've downloaded now is only a trial version and the icon is like a set of traffic lights
The problem I had with the other doesn't really matter but I can't get the original version I had anywhere.

Any ideas??

Cheers, Lindy xx

P.S. Below is part of the post about Prevx


If you want extra safety then use Prevx Home V2.0 as well, this is an anti-secret installation software that stop things creeping into your PC and installing themselves. It is FREE and available from here:

Lindyloo

You're lucky I came looking this way bewcause I do not usually look at threads this old.

Anyway, the old free Prevx is gone and only Prevx1 is now available, which you now have to pay for after the trial period has ended.

Sorry.
