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.

Angry VIRUS's and THE MORON

I still can�t believe the world is so full of computer morons. Virus threats to our computers can only be placed on the shoulders of two people, those who create them and those who inadvertently spread the virus, namely the MORON! Without the moron, those social inept beak necks who create virus for no other reason that to spread ill will to others, would have a greater difficulty spreading their crap over the internet.

It would seem LIMEWIRE is not immune to the depredation of MORONS. The uses of any anti virus program escapes them completely, as they are wholly unaware of the devastating affect they have on the P2P community. Unable to see the world past the end of their nose, they only see the number of files they have to share and pat themselves on the back for a job well done, thinking they have helped the P2P community. Never do they look at the content of the files lurking in the their shared folder, never seeing the growing number of ZIP files all the same size, or how they got there.

Are you a MORON? Of course not�Your reading this forum, learning to defend yourself from the MORON, learning how not to be a MORON.

LESSON 1
Download anti virus software, free is a good price and there are many great programs out there.
This link will get you what I think to be the best of the best and it�s FREE! AVG anti virus http://www.grisoft.com

LESSON 2
Use the anti virus program! Scan every file you download to your computer before you open it!!!! And if your anti virus software finds a virus, don�t bother fixing it, just delete the damn thing and keep your system clean

Sorry for the rant, but I feel that Morons are taking over the world, and you can�t blame bad genes for being a lazy thinker. It�s time for these people to pull their head from their asses and get with the program or turn in their drivers license and stop propagating!

Way to go Brimstone! Everything you said was true.

I swear 90+% of files I have downloaded in the last two weeks are infected, and when you do a search, there are hundreds of morons with the same file, and they are all sharing it.

Using a decent AV program is a no-brainer.....ooops, that's the problem isn't it? They have no brain, or they don't use it.

Norton Antivirus catches each and every one of these infected files before Limewire is even finished with them. How do people live without an antivirus program? Hell, like you said, there are good free ones out there, so not having one is just stupid.

But you know, the world is over run with those kinds of people. If all the idiots were to disappear tomorrow, it would be like waking up in North Dakota. Your nearest neighbor would be miles away, haha.

Did you notice Bush got re-elected? I rest my case.

everyone needs to stop downloading executables off of peer to peer. its not a safe or likely legitimate area to download software. its like going to china, going in the alleys of the big cities looking for pirated software (yeah, i doubt you were looking for freeware/shareware on p2p hehe) area in asia asking for freeware.


the people on limewire have more to gain by infecting you with spyware/viruses/trojans than giving you a free piece of software.

Default who is pro virii?

I think we should ask ourselves who would be pro virus? RIAA, MS, the pay-per-song conglomerates, etc? Software *.exe companies??? Who has an interest in disrupting P2P?

I was astonished a few days ago when Music Match Jukebox popped up & told me I didn't have a license to play a certain song on my mp3 player. I bought a 40Gig player a couple weeks ago that came with over 3000 mp3s on it, so when I got around to it I copied those mp3s to my HD so I could listen w/o using the player. I bought another mp3 player that came with Music Match Jukebox & decided to try it instead of VLC just to see if there was a difference in quality. As soon as I tried to load the mp3 into MMJ a warning popped-up saying I didn't have a license for that song & then a Microsoft box popped-up wanting me to download a license for the song. I THOUGHT F**K NO & CANCELLED BOTH the MMJ & MS boxes, decided right then to remove MMJ from my 'puter & continue with VLC. TALK ABOUT SPY-WARE!!!

You guys are right, the world is full of MORONs.
You don't just download everything you see in LW. Only specific items that you will need. First you scan them with Norton or any AV and if they are infected you don't use them and immidietly remove them from your PC. How difficult is that? Only a stupid moron can't do it!
Lately, most of the files that need to be avoided are files that are in the 700k and 800k area, especialy anything that has 857.1k size. You don't even need an AV program to spot that.
Some morons know that the file has a virus and they still keep it in their computer. Well, myself and many people I know, if we scan for a file in LW and we see those files, we block the host. If we all do that, some day soon, those morons won't be able to download nothing from LW. The less morons in the net, the better the quality and speed.

Smile exe files

can i just say i have dl a couple of exe files and all has been fine, but i wouldnt dream of opening anything without checking size etc, looking on bizi, then going over with every antivirus i have, i have recently asked on here what i can do to warn others if i find any bad files, but my main point in writing is,i have learnt things over last few months and we are all new at some point and if you all , that have been long standing members, bear with us newbies, we will learn how to do things as you do, most people passing viruses on dont know any better, iv learnt a lot reading these forums (thank you lord of the ring and others) please bear with us!!
