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.

Oh yeah!!!(remember kids, with exclamation marks, it's one or none!)
But basically if the file size looks too small to be true(or too big to be true), don't be fooled. Also, there's this one that appears as a WMV or something like that, and it's file name is always just what you type, so watch out for them.
I don't think there's any feasable way to 'catch' this person, though. Just block that IP address(the FAQ tells you how to do this) if they annoy you so much.

Those T1 sources that litter with spam use dynamic ip's so if you block them one day, the next they'll have a different ip address & some unlucky sucker has adopted that ip address that's blocked! Keep that in mind. Why not just filter out wmv until you need it or ignore those under a certain size. Go LW menu Tools>Options>Filters>Keyword & type in wmv & press the Add button & then the Apply button. Filters can be added or removed anytime so long as you press the Apply button.

Worth a read if you don't like reading: Quality of Content on the Network and Fake movies & why and wmv rubbish and A Curious Thing Happened... and XXAA is watching, SPAMing the network, proof and That's All Folks for now but there's plenty of similar threads if you wish to search for them.

LotR has good advice. Ignore those with same file name as the search string, T1, small file size, etc.

Or direct complaints to:

Hi guys, I just joined the forum hoping someone could tell me about this idiot with the fake movies and his ads.
This morning I finally found one of his ads with only 1 "host" so I could "Browse the Host". This guy has nothing but these ads and they have 17412 of them with different titles! IP is shown as 38.112.89.140:6349.

Angry ipod Hits

It seems that the iPod villian(s) are using some form of macro that, upon getting a search query from Limewire, generate a response with the very title of the document(s) for which we are searching. I believe that the better approach for us, rather than trying to search down these individuals and shove an iPod down their throat in a rage of vengeance, would be for those clever programmers who created Limewire to add a feature that would allow us to short circuit the villians ... specifically, maybe we could have a button that allows us to exclude from search results, all files that are in the range of 91K to 107K (for example), and with the ability for us as users to modify the parameters in the event that the iPod villians start tweaking their ads to be larger or smaller in size. If the Limewire moderator is monitoring this thread, I implore them to forward this suggestion to those who might be able to assist us in resolving this issue. Thank you.
