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.

now i know that i downloaded a scamed version. and only a hobo said : "its only 18.00 $ ". i know that this is not very expensive but the reason is that we here in lebanon don't have mail and so i cannot use a credit card " don't ask people here about what a credit card means """"they don't really ever seen such things"""". and so its like a dream to get mail here and there is mail but just in beirut " the capital of lebanon". so you people outside lebanon : live happily and leave me in this ignurent dump that people call lebanon...

Mohannad, I can't even start to comprehend what it is like for you in lebanon. Sometimes we in the western world take so many things for granted. Good luck to you and keep posting

I really hope you dont buy this stuff after what he posted in that other thread? If you're that poor you wouldnt be online at all or have access to a computer. I dont by this sob story not after you insisted on telling people to dl that corrupt version of pro. Sorry, I am not that gullible. and if you were from another country then why didnt you say so or explain yourself? Im not buying this one bit. if you have a credit card in your country it has nothing to do with mail, you buy it online. No paperwork is exchanged.

Mohannad ... Please check your personal messages.

Spinx ... Mohannad is from Lebanon. It has always said so on his posts.

I have no idea what it is like to live in Lebanon and neither I think do you. It is never in the news, except I did see a bomb went off there yesterday, I get the feeling that this was not an isolated incident. I fear that Mohannad lives under the conditions that the word has seen so much of in New Orleands for the last few weeks ... but his country has been like for years, and with NO help from anywhere.

I think we need to open our eyes. Yes Mohannad did something wrong ... going on about getting his free copy of Limewire and you and I have been giving him a hard time about it. I'm not sure that in his world it's at the top of his list of priorities. I seem to recall that he has an "internet shop" .. perhaps it's an internet cafe or computer shop so I guess he has access to a few old computers, and that is his contact with the world.

So yes I do buy this stuff ... and we know so little about his part of the word becaue it is so hard to get comunications out of there. Mohannad is doing his best to, however, and the fact that he might not do it very coherently or tactfully does not detract me from my opinion that his heart is in the right place.

Nutcracker's post was right in every respect.

Its called 'Social Engineering' online. Sorry Hobo, I still dont believe his excuses for one minute. There's always the free basic versions. You dont have to go out of your way to download a fake/hacked version of Pro then swear up and down that it works and try to get others to download it as well, when he said he supposedly reformatted his machine five times and got a viruses then still insisted the version he had was ok.

He didnt state where he was from in his posts and you can put anything down in the location in your profile.

then how is he online with internet access no less and downloading off his fake version of Limewire? It cant be too much of a dump if he's able to do all that.

Believe what you want bro, but I'm still not convinced after arguing with me in his previous thread, almost insisting that Pro was free.

outtie.

how?
How do you pay for your internet connection? You must have mail if you're paing a monthly charge for an ISP, right? If you can afford to pay for internet access and are getting monthly bills for it then you can buy Pro the same way. If you get monthly bills, then you get mail.

can we like drop the entire thing? i really dont care if someone goes out and downloads a hacked/spammed pro version of any program. they lose in the end.. so eh? let those kind of people go. if they insist to do it. i just dont want people around here advertising it. solong as its not advertized around here, i really dont care. just keep your "pro" versions to yourself. if you really want the pro version, download the source, and tweak it, its really alot easier than google-digging. (but, if your smart enough to know how google works, you can find lots of limewire pro acc's BUT I AINT TELLIN HOW!)
