If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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 bear share rip off

I just got done talking to a bearshare rep. and she said because of the court ruling our subs got tossed. now they want 7.95 a month for a sub I allready paid for. well I ask what about my money I spent? they basically told me email pro and they will answer. but they do not. I am planning on persuing an action suit. I am very serious because I hate to be ripped off. even though it was not that much money but if you add all of us up that is.

Just curious but what were you using BearShare for.

Hopefully it wasn't for downloading copyrighted files because if it was and you go into a Court room you will most likely be the one handing out the $$$$$$$$$$$$

Default do you recal/

do you recal when the riaa tried to stop it origonally? they could not. it was yours and what you did with it was up to you. and this included sharing.
it was not mentioned in the digital mellenium act do you remember? and what do you think I was using it for? just like tens of millions of users alike I used it for the same thing! we all paid for a service that has just become 'illeagel' for now. its like once it was illeagel to possess and use alcohol but I don't think it is anymore is it? so did this give bearshare the right to provide an avenue to allow the sale of a service that facilitated the sharing of copyright maetrial? is there a difference in what I was doing?

"subs" Translation please!

Y'know, I keep hearing about those guys ignoring emails about Pro and people
needing real support. Can anybody report one instance in which these
iMesh guys actually did do something right for a dissatisfied user? I
already know that the tests we (the original BearShare gang) tried all came up
with the same result: we were all completely ignored. Not one reply so far
over the past nine months and the so-called "online" support appeared to be a
bot with only one thing on it's mind: rental payments for low-rez and DRM
polluted .WMA files! You think they could afford more real people since the
RIAA was so willing to give them thirty million bucks to launder as a bogus
buyout and "settlement" when Free Peers was "sued" last year.

Default subs 'subscriptions'

sorry. and Hoora! the email address that the bearshare reps just gave me tonight "bearsharepro@bearshare.com" unsuprisingly came back with this message I could not comprehend? joke joke! he he!

The Postfix program

<bearsharepro@bearshare.com>: unknown user: "bearsharepro"


they are avoiding us. but I am gonna be heard. the water is turning brown so I am getting out of the pool. I'll watch from the sun chair. there is alot of money to be had or "hid" from the users that paid and got the plug ripped from computers. it is our legal right to be refunded even if it is on a pro-rata bassis. but they wont even respond or post what they intend to do. even if I do not get my refund I will persue it with the federal attorney general to see to it that that money be rendered. I will not sit back and let them keep my money. I guess it is just the principal. I don't need the money or even care about it .but they are no t gonna keep it I will see to it.

Default What about Paypal???

I know me personally I paid with paypal maybe others did too??? I know I started a dispute in paypal but paypal closed it because it was an electronically sent item so they wouldn't do anything. I'm wondering if enough people told paypal and started disputes would they listen. If you paid by credit card you should be able to do a chargeback. Last time I bought bearshare it said one time fee then I reformated a few times and then it said I was givin a key 3 times so I had to purchase again. So I did and now they won't answer e-mails or calls about getting a new key. I'm just wondering though if enough people talked with paypal maybe they'd do somthing.

I reformatted last weekend, and couldn't get a new key either. No response to e-mail either. On a lark, I just started Bearshare today and did another key request - the key was in my inbox in minutes! Happy, happy, joy, joy

So I guess what I'm saying is try again.
