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.

Exclamation How do I CHAT?

I cannot figure how to get into chat mode. I right click on the smiley face under "CHAT" and select "Chat with Host." Now what? Apologies if this is the wrong area for this question.

It can all depend on what version of limewire the host is using that you are trying to chat with..
Do you get the chat screen pop up ??
If not the host you are trying to chat with cannot use this function..
If you do and the host does not answer, that more than likely means that their not at their computer or you have freaked them out and they don't want to respond...

Default Chatting in Limewire

I just tried it and if working you get a chat window. I just got a 'Host is unavailable' reply. I believe it means that the person you are requesting 'chat' with has either quit Limewire, or has logged off the internet and the 'Host is unavailable'. Also they may just not reply. I have only had one person reply to my requests to 'chat' in the several years that I have been using LW.
I think you are doing everything right.

Chat....So far I have never been able to chat with anyone....its hard to believe that there would never be anyone on. And I checked the settings and they are correct. Does this website happen to have live chat forums?

Which version of LW are you using? If using LW 4, then see the links within this thread: How do I chat?.

Some people just open their mouths when others are around & suddenly chat happens. Amazing how humans developed that ability. lmao Sorry about that silly joke.

Right-click the top of the heading bars of the search results window, download window & upload window. Choose to show Chat from the drop down menu. You will see a smiley for those who have chat enabled. You can only chat with those who have chat enabled.

LW 5 is a different kettle of fish. Off hand I cannot remember if chat is even an option. In LW 5 they took out most of the advanced features to make it a program for dumbies who just want to download with little fuss.

Hi Surgeman, I'm glad you started a thread with this question because I can't even find information on how to post a new thread. My issue is similar to yours but not exactly the same. I have no problem opening the Chat screen, but I cannot type into it and in this new version of Limewire, I can't even figure out who is a host to right click on to try to start chatting. I'm hoping someone who reads your post will be able to help me. I first searched through threads for "can't type into Chat screen" and "how to find and connect with host" but those posts were from 2007 and 2008 using a different version of Limewire. This is very confusing.

1. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...our-posts.html

2. Chat was removed from LW 5, unfortunately. That's why there's no updated posts to the Chat feature. As noted in green text in this post: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...tml#post139263
Whilst later versions of LW 5 are gradually bringing back in some of the tools they left out from LW 4, AFAIK Chat will not be one of them according to a discussion with one of the LW staff.
