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 Payment for Limewire

Hello,

I paid for Basic Limewire on May 8 for 2 Yrs. ($22.80). I have been having firewall issues and I un-installed it (un-intentionally deleted it too).
Please let me know what you can do for me because I thought I could just re-nstall it again. I tried to log in as a member but could not. (I never received an email after purchase). Naturally I don't want to have to pay again. Please help asap.

Thanks.

Fred Muchunu.

Default Payment for Limewire

Thanks a ot for your responses. I'll be disputing the charge with my card company. The site I went to is:

http://www.download-it-free.com/limewire/

and I have no way of contacting them! Beware!

Once again, Thanks.

It just boggles the mind how many sites are out there biting the beat of this site...sorry you got burned, but if it's any consolation, you're not the first. I tell everyone I refer to make sure they come to the official url, if anything other than that pops up, don't f*ck with it. Good luck fighting with your cc company...

Default I think I've been burned too

The long version
Here in Australia I thought I'd paid for a basic Limewire 4.8.1 download at about $28. After going throught the payment process I saw I was debited about $54. The extra was for some unwanted DVD download facility and an unwanted spyware detector. I received a receipt email from an MP3 download site whose details I unfortunately don't have with me (I'm at work). They are uncontactable, no email address and a US phone no. that is only supposedly active at times that are useless to me in Australia. I did get the basic Limewire 4.8.1 program but that's hardly difficult.
The short version
I reckon I've been scammed. And I didn't realise till I saw some of the comments in this forum. I wonder if I can halt/reverse the payment? Will find out tomorrow morning.
What I'd really like
a. To find out if this uncontactable MP3 company is a geniune portal for Limewire
b. To find some way of contacting the Limewire accounts people in case this was a genuine transaction, and get it amended.

the only true/genuine place to get limewire is from http://www.LimeWire.com/

there is NO other official place to download binary copies of limewire.

The source code for LimeWire is also freely available at http://www.LimeWire.org/ limewire also owns this site and is the only official place to recieve the source code.

LimeWire basic is FREE.
LimeWire PRO costs $18.88 and gives you 6 months of updates. along with genuine PRO technical support via email.

LimeWire basic and pro version are completely free of adware/spyware/malware/crapware etc... you only get the limewire program. best thing is that basic doesnt even have ads. (but it does have a pro ad to remind you that you should go pro.)

there is no other official sites or portals for LimeWire. LimeWire.com is the only true place to download it.

I've finally been able to contact the business that sold me Limewire.
As someone from a country whose timezones are opposite the US it was a frustrating process and I eventually found them open at 3am my time. There is no email contact, only phone contact.
They are at http://www.musicmembersarea.com/index.asp
They have promised to refund the unordered components which brings the price down to about US$23 for "....the full licensed version of the program with absolutely no downloading limits, no limits to search results, no file size limits!....". However it is not Limewire Pro.
So it seems I'm not as burned/scammed as I feared, but just a very bad researcher of deals.

I hope you are right about not being scammed but seriously, as scammers are notorious liars, I doubt it.

And also:

What is this wonderful piece of mysterious software that has no conceivable limits and no name? How could anything so great remain in obscurity? Where’s the beef?

All this, Mr Powerstufff, sound far too good to be true, in fact it sounds like another "scammers" line.

I guess that at 3am you must have been very tired and all this smooth scammers’ line must have sounded very comforting. I think that all you will really get, if anything, is another link to another "free" P2P software, e.g. Bearshare Lite or something similar.

I am a self confessed cynic but I hope your negotiations work out for you.
