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.

I really hope you guys have an anti virus protection program while downloading? Thats one of the first things you do before logging in to Gnutella.

desmoface, what i ment was that there are some people that have a file whether it be a .exe .cob or anyother than may have/be a virus. These people will change the file name to something like TuPac.mp3 making others believe it is an mp3.

asdfgh1224, sorry my mistake i was thinking of another p2p program i use at the time i posted that.


Sphinx, First things that get installed on my computers are the Anti-virus programs and anything else to do with security..
You can never be to sure if or when you'll get a virus/trojan or worm.

ultracross, Nice listing you put together..this may help those that are new to p2p programs and don't have a full understanding of which file extension are the ones that could possibly have a virus.

Default No AntiVirus App

Guys

This is a sensible thread with some very good advice but, just looking around this forum, there are still loads of LW user that don't use an anti-virus app.

And guess what, they blame LW when their PCs get wrecked by viruses and Trojans.

Some people are definately weird .

Thats because most new users dont take the time to read about P2P or use common sense first. If they browsed threw the threads like they should, they would find all kinds on useful info in them. Kinda peeves me when they scream/blame its Limewire's fault for giving them the virus though.


You can always tell if you take the time how to spot a virus before downloading and I have yet to get one in a MP3 file.

Illegal? LOL, find me one that gives a damn!
You know, we all use pirated software and LW is one of the best ways to get it and you know it.
If you are not using pirated software, well..... you must be a saint!!!

I know it can't be discussed here, for obvious reasons, and I do not promote nor condone piracy. But Sphinx, don't tell us: "good luck finding a crack or serial...", we always do!!!

And what about the music files? they don't need cracks or serial. Does that make them legal to download in the US? Huh, Granpa?
If it is illegal, then LW should shut down as 99.9% of the music going through it is illegal! So is the software.
So let's not talk about legalities. It's like trying to bullshit ourselves, LOL.

You mean the Gnutella net should shut down which it may be forced to shut down. Many other P2P nets already have been forced to shut down.Then LimeWire / Bearshare / Frostwire / Sharezza / Phex / etc. will all be shut down and thus the software useless. LimeWire in it self is legal what any of us may do with it may or may not be legal we each have to make a choice.

And any copyrighted material is Illegal to download in the U.S. unless you have a license for it. I or no one else in this forum is trying to B.S. ourselves or you make your own choice but if you do choose to be involved in Illegally activities do not talk about it in this forum it is against the rules.
