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 Limewire pro

Can anyone help please? Yesterday i bought limewire lifetime and unlimited access for £18.97 and upgraded to pro with the movie codec pack for £7.97 and also netspyprotector for £7.88 that is a total of £34.82 which I have had an e-mail to confirm. Yet when I use Limewire it keeps asking me if I want to upgrade to pro ????? Now I thought I have already upgraded. Also when I try to get some support by phoning the usa it is stating they are closed (this was last evening when the office was supposed to be open, 5 hrs behind i believe) I am totally confused and feel a little cheated yet I am happy to admit if I have missed something here.
Please help guys and gals

Before you do anything, read this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1
There is no lifetime memberships. You've been thru a scam site & probably only have LW Basic which is FREE.

BTW you can get most codec packs for free. See CODECs list and alternate players for Movies And spydetectors are also free. Just ask for some links. You could've got all 3 items for free!
I'd suggest you try to get a refund ASAP & cancel your transaction thru your card company. Also see the last few pages of the link I gave in the 1st post, there's some advice how to do it. Where did you get your so-called membership from? Is it listed here?: Known Scam Sites

Did you see the Speilberg series "Taken" that was on TV not so long ago, well Sam you have been "Taken" for a ride by a scam site.

LW Basic is free and LW Pro cost $18.88, which is under £10.00 at the current exchange rate, and for that you get 6 months worth of upgrades/updates. Netspyprotector is probably a bogus spyware app, the movie codec is free and the lifetime unlimited access does not exist.

Sam, you should contact your credit card company and tell them you have just been conned out of your money, since most UK CCs have anti-fraud protection, you should be able to get your money back without too much trouble.

Also, it might be a good idea to cancel your CC and get a new one, this will stop the scam site charging you a monthly fee for fictitious purchases or belonging to the non-existent lifetime club.

Finally, I would suggest that you delete the LW you got from the scam site, which may or may not contain malware (viruses, spyware, etc) and redownload from the proper site where LW Pro is also available:

PS. One other thing, don't let this bad experience stop you from buying goods and services via the internet, it may take a little time to suss out which are the good and bad companies but if you need any advice you can always get it here.

Cheers Bob.
I have bought plenty off the net for years and this time I was had. I will follow all your advice. I have spoken to the credit card company and they have said the transaction cannot be stopped but it can be dissputed when it shows on the statement (prob on Fri) I will uninstall limewire and try again.
Thanks everone for the help.
