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.

Thumbs down They know I assure you

I have written the people from Limewire several times about spyware they have embedded in the software. They use Gator for one, but the latest is this clicktiluwin crap which happened on or about 12/27. They know full well what's going on. Their attitude is that they need to sell advertising to keep the whole thing going. My attitude is, I'd rather pay than put up with this crap. They have more up their sleves I promise you.

Default Clean LW?

Who would be up for supporting a clean version of LW?
Contact me if you would like to be part of a project whose goal would be to produce an ad-free, spyware-free LimeWire.

Default How not to endear your supporters.

Norton found the trojan on my system and I downloaded v.2 directly from this site. I uninstalled it about 30 minutes later when I realized what a piece of crap it was but uninstalling Limewire didn't get rid of the trojan. BTW Ad-aware does not find this and Norton only found it during a full system scan not during the install.

Here is the link to SARC's page on this issue.

Note to Limewire developers, pull your heads out of your collective asses and get this crap out of your software. Nobody wants it and it only fosters acrimony toward your products.

We have to fight back against this crap,
they don't care if 20 % of people are
annoyed about this trojan, as long as
the majority 80 % aren't aware of it.
Forget about talking to Limewire,
get the message out to the people
who use it - that's the only way to
stop them.

Another thing, what they're doing is
probably illegal and if somebody sues
them that person could probably make
a lot of money...

The laws in each state are different, follow this link to see if they have violated any laws in your aera.



you normaly can sue only for the dammages you incured, but if there are enough people with the same case it might put an end to the spy and adware crap.

Will it work with 1.9b. I never upgraded.

I took Cydoors and Aureate out with Ad-Aware, but I know I still have ADP & Clicktiluwin. But I have this annoying bug report window that pops up when I run LW. I just click OK and LW carries on working.

'ZA' stops ADP connecting, so that's OK, I also have a prog 'Adsubtract' which stops "all" ads from working. It's great to be ad free.

Should I use this to get rid of the stuff that's hidden.

This is a repackaged version of 2.0.3. It will install and function alongside 1.9b just fine. It should act just like the real installation of LimeWire, except that there are no spywares or ads installed. There are also NO registry entries, so bye-bye clicktilluwin. LimeWire functions just fine without spyware. It just took a little configuring.
