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.

Unhappy Billing; New User

Used 'LimeWire: The Official Site...' to secure download v4.8.1. During the acquisition, I received two prompts of 'transaction not accepted..try again...', so I did and succeeded on third attempt at submitting payment application. The next day there were three transactions pending on my credit/debit card for the same amount from LimeWire's billing vendor. Called bank, but there was nothing they would/could do. LimeWire Customer service only available Mon-Fri, 9AM to 9PM. Therefore, two erroneous debit holds froze monies in my account enabling 'unavailable funds fee' to be charged to me by my bank. Has anyone else suffered like situation, and what help did LimeWire give, if any?

Just wanted to put this out there, I had no problem making my donation via CC, all good, but whenever you try to pay something online and there's a problem or error message, I wouldn't repeat the action, call someone immediately, that has happened to me in the past. Computers are wonderful machines, but they do exactly what we tell them to do, even if we don't know what we're doing!!! LOL!

I was charged twice as well. I signed up for the unlimited - something like that - but not limewire pro so therefore I cannot go to the help site for that. Can anyone help me? I would like not to have to pay twice. Thank you.

People in this forum are talking about being accidentally billed twice while buying LW Pro, you, on the other hand, paid a scam site for something "unlimited". There is no "unlimited" anything as far as LW and LW Pro is concerned only scam sites offer "unlimited" (nothing) and once you have paid your money they give you a URL link to LW Basic, sometimes stuffed with spyware.

In other words you have been had.

And now that the scam site has your credit details they, being criminals, may decide to continue to take money out of your credit card account for as long as it is valid.

Check out this URL, it may provide you with some help.

Thanks for your reply. I am not at home right now so I am not sure what site I was on. I do know that there was free limewire but you could also sign up for a month, year a one time fee. Maybe that is why they are telling me my email address is not valid when I try to log onto the limewire pro billing support. I was able to download Limewire and download music. That is why I do not understand how I have been scammed. That sucks if so. The official Limewire site does not offer this? I hope this is not true. I have never been "had" before. By looking at the posts in this forum I can call my credit card company and get my money back? Thank you for you prompt response.

The only official place to purchase LimeWire is http://www.limewire.com, or http://sales.limewire.com .

Dear Gypsyt7

Try and get your money back, showing the scammers URL to your CC may help, but above all change your credit card number so no more money can be extracted from it.

Unfortunately, you are not the first and you will certainly not be the last to be scammed. If you think about it, if you didn't come to this forum you would never have known. Now think about all the scammed out there (the world over) who will never come to this forum, they are living in blissful ignorance.

As I have said before, scamming newbies is big business, it so easy and probably costs very little to set up.

Don't be a victim (or a repeat victim) get your money back and change your card details.



UK Bob
