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.

have you purchased limewire or limewire pro?

AFAIK there is no ref number required or involved.

I'm not answering any more of these

Default Not a newbie, but scammed anyway

Fenson76

You are not a newbie but you seem terribly confused, to me anyway.

Limewire Basic is free and only scam sites sell it. If you want LW Basic then go to the official site and download it:

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

LWPro cost $18.88, for that you get 6 months of upgrades/updates and technical support, also available from the above URL.

Now, it seems that you bought your FREE LW from a scam site and, a year later, just beginning to realise "all is not right", the truth has finally caught up with you.

If I am correct then you have joined "The Legions of the SCAMMED" but you just didn't realise it at the time, i.e. you are one of thousands (mainly newbies) who have rushed to scam sites and given them your money for a product that is free.

If I am wrong then let me know.

I purchased Limewire Pro for 18.88 through Limewire and have the documentation from limewire. My bank shows that it was form limewire. The problem is that I didn't use he prior customer discount link and payed full price again. I wasn't thinking. I used the same login email address as before and that is where, I think, the confusion is coming from. Limewire never updated my old login info.
P.S.
I meant order number not Ref. number. sorry

p.p.s
I had limewire pro a year ago. I got updates and everything fine from Limewire. It just expired. I do check the validity of sites where I make a purchase.

OK Fenson76, obviously you are not a newbie and you have not been scammed.

Now, that the confusion is cleared up, I think you have answered your own question.

Just remember when you write in this forum you have to be as clear as possible (you have a worldwide audience), that is the best way to get any help on offer.

If you did get LW Pro then contact them here http://sales.limewire.com/support/? & negotiate with them. But if it did expire I'm not sure if you'd still be eligible for discount. ???

the problem is that only limewire pro customers can contact support!! I am a limewire pro customer but I can't contact them because of the screwup!! I just want a way to contact a live person at LIMEWIRE! The forums are great, but unless a rep. of limewire sees this, I have no way to fix this. This has nothing to do with discounts, I just want access to my product.

Then email them using feedback@limewire.com & make sure you title your email appropriately so they know you were a pro user otherwise they'll ignore it if they know you're no longer a pro user. Supply your details in the actual email.

I must make an apology. The fact is that almost every inquiry of this type is a result of a purchase of Limewire basic from a scam site.

I am aware that a few problems are at present occuring with purchasing or renewing Limewire pro legitimately, and hopefully Limewire will make it easier for the legitimate enquiries to get through.
