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.

Angry Paid For Pro And Got Nothing! Help!

I paid $18 for pro last night (well the UK equivalent of $18) and it has charged my card using Paypal but I haven't received a mail from Paypal or limewire, let alone a Limewire Pro download file!

SOMEONE FROM LIMEWIRE PLEASE HELP!!! At least give me a phone number so I can call someone - in the UK if poss.

I was using Firefox to make the payment via paypal with. As I submitted payment, the next window just went blank and said "done" in the bottom corner.

After leaving it for ages, tried refreshing but to no avail.

Please help

If you have bought LW from the official site: http://www.limewire.com and you didn't get a email with your download link, then please go here and look at the post Mo. 4 of LOTR. There you should find a link to PM RStern. Explain her your problem and she will sort it out for you:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=54008
Though give a bit time, since she doens't show up here on a daily basis....

Try sending one more PM to her. Please lose the attitude though. You don't know what has gone wrong. The money might even be credited back to your account if something happened during the payment process. Your card may have been declined when verifying. Has happened a few times even with good cards.

Also FOTH did mention that RSterne isn't on here every day + as you probably know LimewireLLC has been sued, so she might have more things to do than usual.

Just be patient. I'm sure that this will be sorted

Default No attitude just shocked

Sleepless, I duly paid for a product which I have been loyak to and using for many years. I checked with my credit card company today and the payment has been processed, including Paypals charge.

I have written 2 PMs to RSterne, who I understand may be busy with legal proceedings.

My point is this. I am a frustrated customer. I cannot believe that a company with millions of users has no proper customer service. I don't think its good business practice to be selling a product that isn't delivered, yet payment is taken - would you like it if you sold someone a product and they never gave you their money? Would you not like to talk to someone about it?

I see I am also not the only person this has happened to either.

All I would like is the software or a refund. Not to be stuck out of pocket and no Limewire Pro.

Rant over

I really do understand your frustration with this. Noone likes being ripped off. I wouldn't like having to wait either. I was merely pointing out that you have to be patient.

On the other hand I don't think that 4-5 days is a long wait on the internet. I have tried far worse (up to 3 weeks) from other online companies. I also do understand quite well why Limewire does not have phonesupport etc. because of the free version and all the basic users that would ignore the fact that it would be for Pro costumers only. I'm pretty sure that you know what I mean here.

In addition to the gentle and wise words of Sleepless, don't ya think that your rant would be better placed at the Limewire Forum under:
http://www.limewire.com/forum.htm

We are all really here to support users of the Gnutella Network; but we are all not capable to pull any kind of person from whichever P2P client company into this forum to comply with the wishes of users of their products....

Just my 5-cent-worth though.....

I think you should get an extension of your pro period. Chances are the account didn't activate so it won't be until they fix it up & thus the period of pro will only start once they do. I've given alternate instructions to help via private message. I do have some small direct contact with LimeWire.org though not guaranteed to be quick.
