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. |

| Please Please Help ! HELLO I am trying to find a artist and everytime I find one and it list the songs , it never had the green padlock symbol by any of them like it says it is suppose to. Is it okay for me to still go ahead and download and burn if it does not have this symbol. If not then why cant i find songs with this symbol...... HERE IS WHAT IT SAYS : there is a orange/yellow bar across the top of the search results stating: Only search results with a ( picture of a lock) are offical Limewire communications. If I click on the link "more info" it takes me to a page called VIRUS and TROJAN WARNING --which states: We have received many warnings of viruses and trojans pretending to be updates to LimeWire in your search results. You can only be sure a search result is direct from Lime Wire, LLC if it has a (LOCK) in the quality column. If you have run such an update in the past, LimeWire may be corrupted. You must update with the current official version available here to guarantee you are using the latest official LimeWire.Also note that LimeWire connects you to other computer users like yourself in order to share files, so all of your search results are files from other users like yourself (i.e. - your peers). The only exceptions to this rule are search results with a lock or search results from spammers/advertisers. Learn more about the Gnutella network and peer-to-peer file sharing. ??????? WHAT DO I DO |

| Go ahead and d/l-**NEVER D/L AN "EXE" FILE** if you're just seeking audio/video-What the lock is for, is to let you know that that file is straight from L/W-this icon WILL NOT appear ,in most instances,when you search for movies or music-the files that return from the search are almost always from someone else on the GNUTELLA NETWORK, just like yourself-or me  if you have ever D/L-ded any songs/video from disk to PC yourself, you should have an idea of the right size of the file you're searching for-AVOID ALL files that seem too large/small to be what you are looking for-they probabaly aren't anything good-from an unwanted toolbar, to a virus or trojan-If there's ANY doubt, simply use your virus/spyware program to scan the file before you open it- that'll help LOTS in finding bad stuff Idiots post to corrupt your sys. |

| The lock symbol only applies to LimeWire updates, not music or anything else. To check other files right-click on them, or on Mac hold the control key down while clicking, then go to the Advanced menu in the popup and "Lookup file with Bitzi". If anybody reported the file as bad or good you will see that report. |

| downloads In effect, if you download any copyrighted material you're breaking the law. When you join Limewire you're asked to agree not to download this material. Flash! Everything is copyrighted. If I lend a friend a CD am I breaking the law? It all depends on your perspective. If you feel morally obligated to download only uncopyrighted material, you'll have very few, if any, choices. It's a dillema I'll agree. But you have to do what you believe is best for you. Good luck. |

| There's a lot of legal downloads out there. Far, far more than you could ever use in a lifetime. I alone have 30 gigs of legal stuff few, if any, other people have to offer. Free and Legal Content Jamendo [The Prelinger Archives] Also, don't forget that in some countries (Canada, for example) downloading of everything is legal even if the MAFIAA control freaks don't like it.  |
