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.

And don't anyone ask me "What account did you sign up with"

Their site, their upgrade station, and their proper address:
Limewire LLC NY,NY AS IT STATES ON MY CC

Sorry, a little irritated... usually not this passionate about 15.00

Lack of professionalism gets me to this point...oh well, its' on them not me...

Ciao'

Default How many more are going to be ripped off?

Well Peter

You started off by saying:
Quote:
can anyone tell me what the problem is i signed up with limewire last night
The problem is that you DID NOT sign up with Limewire (here is their URL: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml), while you went to a scam site.

However, you must now realise that you made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up throwing (or giving) your money away to a scammer.

Breaking down what you paid for:
Quote:
Membership type:Lifetime Full & Unlimited Access for a total of 28.95 ? EUR
A non-existent club. You don't need anyone's permission or require access rights to use a P2P network, all your need is Limewire or some other P2P software.
Quote:
Movie Codec Pack for a total of 14.95 ? EUR
Media codecs are freely available, e.g. Nimo codec.
Quote:
NetSpyProtector Option - Protect yourself from malware for a total of 9.88 ? EUR
Probably a bogus anti spyware app, there are free and well respected anti spyware apps available, i.e. Spybot, Ad-Aware and MS AntiSpyware.

So what do you do now, you don't have to "grin and bear it". As most credit card companies have an anti-fraud scheme, you must contact you CC and tell them you are a victim of fraud, carried out by a scam site set up for the purpose of parting internet novices from their money. If your CC is any good they will give you your money back.

Finally, I would suggest that you change your credit card account number so that you don't end up paying monthly membership fees for your non-existent club or for fictitious purchases, like more bogus software.

Peter

That's why it is very important to do some research into what you want and which company (web-site) you are going to spend your money with. The internet is like the wild west, if you don't know what you are doing you will get "bushwhacked".

Saying that, if you deal with big companies or those that offer time limited applications, like most decent small software vendors, you can't do much wrong.

Anyway, I have used Limewire Pro since May 2004, from versions 4.0.5 up to 4.9.30, and I have enjoyed using all versions with the exception of 4.9.28, which was very flaky.

So I would recommend, wholeheartedly, LWPro but to be safe use LW Basic first.
