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.

Question Limewire Pro

I paid 18.88 for a years subscription in 2005. My computer had a virus and I lost everything. I went to the limewire site to get my installer for pro and it says my e-mail is invalid. I only have one so I am not sure what happened. Is there a way to contact limewire to confirm my subscription? Thanks for any help and please e-mail me the answer.

Ok, fine. But I paid the $18.88 and my e-mail address is edited to conform with forum rulez of privacy. Why is it telling me it is an invalid address and how can I contact Limewire. I would appreciate any help I can get. I have seen most of the postings from others who have similar problems and there seems to be no one to answer or help. Do you or anyone else who is associated with them have a support or billing e-mail?

I'm sorry...but you have obviously missed the point...


YOU WERE SCAMMED!


therefore, LimeWire LLC has no knowledge, or obligation, about your transaction with said company that scammed you...

please read the following link and become informed:http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

Angry

I am sorry, but you people don't get it.....I have seen several postings on this web site from many people with the same problem and there is always the same response by so called senior members. I think that we are being SCAMMED, but by the same company. I got my program directly from the limewire.com website. I will get the copy of this transaction and probably since I am getting no assistance from the creator of the program or have no way to contact them, I will be taking this up to the better business bureau or other prosecuting authorities in my state. I think it is sad that a good program and system such as limewire has rude and unhelpful people representing their website and services. Anyone seeing this message and would like to join me please e-mail me at EDITED YET AGAIN...READ THE RULEZ...I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE PISSED ABOUT YOUR SETCH...READ THE RULEZ REGARDING POSTING PRIVATE INFORMATION. I will also be going to petitions.com to post there as well.



**EDIT BY SENIOR SUPERMODERATOR PEERLESS: ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT?...YES A SINGLE PAYMENT OF $18.88 GETS YOU 6 MONTHS...

AND PLEASE REALIZE, BESIDES A FEW LimeWire PPL, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS FORUM IS POPULATED BY PPL WHO ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH LimeWire...AND AS A FACT, I AM NOT IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED WITH LW..

TAKE YOUR GRIPE UP WITH THE BBB, OR WHOEVER...BE MY GUEST, AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVE MY SUPPORT ON SAID AGENDA...

ALSO, THIS FORUM IS NOT RUN BY LimeWire...NOTE THE NAME OF SAID FORUMS: GNUTELLA FORUMS

END OF EDIT/RANT***

A: LimeWire BASIC is completely free to download and use. An enhanced version of LimeWire, LimeWire PRO, is also available for a one time charge. LimeWire PRO can be purchased as an electronic download or on CD.
Quote:
LimeWire is a software application. The one-time payment for LimeWire PRO is a payment to purchase a copy of the program. PRO purchasers also receive Technical Support via email and up to 6 months of free updates.
You will not be charged again by Lime Wire after your initial purchase. After 6 months, PRO users have the option to purchase an additional 6 months of technical support and free updates for a reduced price.

Above is the link I sent you to It is clearly posted what there terms are. If you did indeed purchase Pro from the official site after 6 months you upgrade and support run out thus your e mail address is removed from their server since you are no longer entitled to support. Listed above in their terms.

.You should have burned your copy of pro to disk you bought it thus you were entitled to do so. Just for future reference any software you buy and download from the net you should first save it to your hard drive then burn it to disk thus if you for some reason loose it you have a back up copy. You bought the software thus you have the legal right to burn it.

I have found it best practice to include a note pad file with the serial number the date of purchase transaction number the amount paid the website URL and allot of purchases you make over the Internet a phone number will show up on your CC statement it is a good idea to include this also. I do this with all software I purchase over the net thus if I have any problems I have all the information I need. Unfortunately the majority of people do not do this.

As for your problem I do not know what to tell you LimeWire has no obligation to do anything. You can contact whoever you want but they have done nothing wrong and you will be told that it is spelled out in there terms. If you did not read them entirely before your purchase that is your problem not theirs.

My course of action here would be as Peerless suggest and contact mformel and explain your problem without the anger and threats they will get you no where other than no response. And remember LimeWire is under no way obliged to do anything.

Either this person purchased from a scam site or else, their subscription to pro ran out. Only 6 months of free updates. If you lose your copy after 6 months then that's your problem. And after your subscription runs out, your name drops off their database (if you did purchase it from the official site.) But they offer you a discount to continue as a pro user toward the end of the 6 mth period.

It's just the same as "any" software you buy online. You can get support for updates for a certain period but after that, if you lose your copy then you're the one at a loss not the company. You should back up your downlded softw from online purchases. I would think that'd go without saying without spelling it out. LW states explicitly 6 months only of free updates. (What they don't say is they offer discounts on continuing pro support at the end of the 6 mths period.) If you didn't know that then you have a lot to learn about online purchasing. The conditions for LW are layed out on the main purchase page. Nothing is hidden or in fine print.
