I am slowely getting sick of this forum... it became totaly useless as it is impossible to find any info about rom becoase of idiots that NEED to say thank you (and permutations) for every rom cooked.
Just for a taste:

There are surely bunch of usefull informations that nobody will ever see as they are sunk under hundreds of posts that are completely useless (Thank you etc.).
So please:
SHUT THE F*** UP IF YOU DONT
HAVE ANYTHING USEFULL TO SAY!
And admins, please start thinking about giving few most used cookers separeate "forum" within xda-developers or open a "thanksgiving" thread and forbid
posting them within any other topic.
Such as this post, The wheel may be round but it will always have bumps in it.
Moderators will close this thread closed.

If you click on XDA Portal, you will see that in this forum there are 1,709,981 members ....
Are not few and not just manage them ....
it's easy for you to talk
between saying and doing there 'a difference
I like to show my appreciation for the roms cooked. I do that via donation and the forum. Thank you
No matter how many MOD's you have clearing up spam you are always going to get a lot of useless posts in each thread. It would be very time consuming to go through each thread and clear out the waste and a lot of mod's like to see appreciation for the work they have done so to remove every thankyou would also not be appropriate or worth the hassle.
I get what you are saying, yes there is a lot of c**p in each thread and I would love to see each thread cleaned up or shortened in size, but I don't think its practible. All we can do is remind people to abide by forum rules and issues warnings for repeat offenders before banning them.
Also, as much as I appreciate your comments, what you have created here is another useless thread, another rant. I'm I now to issue a warning to you!!
I'll close this thread now before it grows in size and becomes one giant rant!!
Name says it all. Why has no one made this. There is a c64 app. Two of them. There's a chip8 emulator. Like what is going on? Please one you geniuses help! Please. I beg of you
I believe you mean to post this in the app section
Woops. Sorry. My bad. Too the first guy.
It was a misteak. Relax. That was very impolite.
MOD EDIT - Removed offensive language/attitude from previous post
Any decent forum you post in, there are stickies with rules. You read them before posting. If you don't you deserve what you get. Around here if you continue posting in the wrong forum, you get banned. That is because it is way too common for posts like these to appear in the development forum.

And what if this is his first time ever posting in a forum? No one deserves to get **** on(I'm exaggerating, but really). It would have been just as easy for the dude to nicely tell him that he posted in the wrong section, and direct him to the write section with a link...
MOD EDIT
@ Everyone - I understand everyones reasons for getting frustated as this is a common occurrence for people to post in wrong sections, but I will not tolerate foul language or abusive attitudes in these forum. Any future occurrences from anyone will result in a 3 day ban!! Try and treat people with respect. Remember, you were once a junior member and I bet you also made mistakes!!
I've deleted all posts in this thread with either foul language & offensive attitude.
@ plugsmustard - In future read the forum rules before creating a new post. Failure to comply with forum rules will result in a temp/permanent ban for yourself.
Alright.
So yeah, there's just one other memes thread, but it has died out, so I thought I'd start a new one here.
Basically, you posts memes here, related to XDA, devving etc.
The rules are the same, little trolling is tolerated, but not hating or flaming, and absolutely no NSFW stuff or stuff with Sexual References.
Let the Fun begin
Cheers
The memes thread was merged with the images thread. Please use that

Hello community.
I am old fan of these forums (changed 5-6 phones over years) and always find it most usefull from all other over internet. Recenty I have feeling that this XDAdeveloper network became something they initial wanted to avoid and over the years they strugle with petitions etc.
THE FREEDOM OF INTERNET (and your right to speak free)
Fact: Threads are closed on every mimics and blinks of eyes all over the forums or posts deleted.
Please consider this as Discussion but not flaming and be gentle and polite to everyone who rise voice. What's are your thoughts?

Coz it was continuously being spammed wid useless posts so it was btr to close it off
There has to be a balance between freedom and rules
100% freedom means no rules and thus things going out of control
Xda is well managed
Rest of the internet... Is good until CIPSA is passed...
Edit - reported for mod review... Its btr we discuss phones and not our freedom on xda
This place has rules and its best to follow them

u noob are u craze
do u want to destroy the form i don’t agree
OP, yes Freedom of the Internet is just that, free to speak but with any organized sense of freedom there are rules to help govern or else it would be randomness/uselessness.
Regarding XDA, as with any forum there are Forum Rules and when Members violate them....then action is required. Maintaining a Forum of this size of Members is a task, but remember this is a Development Site, not a social site.
And as you seem to think your freedom is taken way with the maintenance that is required on the threads, keep in mind again the sole purpose of this site is for Development.
To OP - in short, I agree.
I've opened threads or discussed things which were deleted. Some mods I've communicated with were reasonable and fair but many were not. Communicating with some of them by PM, some were very angry, aggressive, unreasonable etc. I tell you, my nieces and nephews who are young seem calm and resonable by comparisson. Also, I'm quite sure a lot of 'support' goes on behind the scenes. Post number and thanks meter are currencies here, they go far beyond 'showing appreciation' etc. 'Might is right' that's the attitude of a bully or a dictator, not an authority . So, it's 'open' and 'democratic' only up to a point - where it suits particular people. The policies for complaining were equally a joke, in my experience. After that, I decided to keep my posts strickly related to my 'mod' interests and never get side-tracked again. When these people make you angry, remember to let it go, this is not the real world.
ok... i had four android devices: Defy, Xperia Sola, Nexus 7 and Razr I, still have three of this (sola, Razr I and Nexus 7).... Only in this forum i have seen this kind of constriction of users... i could give some examples: In Defy Android Development Forum, cm10 port for Defy, made by Quarx (maybe someone know him, he was the winner of the December contest for devs), there is a enormous flood of noobish post (how to install, stupid questions about fc's, stupid thanks posts, etc.) despite three or four threads in general sections for reporting bugs and other stuff correlated, but Quarx did deleted or close thread? No! Because he only focus in what really matter: Development. He ignores everything else. So, maybe, some devs could learn about this behaviour. And what mods tells about it? sometimes, they made a soft cleanup of useless post...that's all... Sometimes Closing thread doesn't help at all to the community.... I think mods maybe could take a more practical and polite position...

I never saw any 'useful' thread being closed by our mods in this sub forum....
Cm10 thread was closed twice..reason because of spam..only posts such as thanks and great... Yippy... Etc etc
I reported the thread twice to b cleaned
There is a great inflow of members.. Every day 100 of noobs are added and merely few developers...
Useless posts really makes it difficult to find actually useful info..
When I was new here I did created a thread which was closed and I did pm'ed a moderator abt it
Bt now I understand I was wrong... U just cant let this place be cluttered wid useless threads and posts

if you need to find some "useful" info, you always can use the search function of xda... I know a lot of noobs doesn't even use that before posting, but i expect that some of the "old" users could do it...

Yup I knw search function
Btw ho do u expect me to find something useful in a thread wid 100 pages and 1000 posts...
U never knw what are u 'exactly' searching for... Upto the level of thread search performs good ... Within a thread and specifically for finding something useful... Its a pain
Dont u think it is necessary to prevent unnecessary posts and threads? Closing a useless or a mirror thread is necessary
Once people realise there Is no one to check/control... The place would go garbage

Only if members of this forums were more kind and helpful to everyone we could avoid a lot of questions and together we could make more easy the job for the mods. That's something that i miss of Defy Development forum: The sense of real community, in fact, the little knowing about android modding and dev, i have learned in there. You could check for yourself what i'm talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702

Me too! I always have that problem, you try as best as you can.
I recently went to the discussion thread of the unofficial Sola Jelly Bean port. The discussion thread is now also closed. I contacted a mod to ask for information. There was no information in the thread! Next, we will be banned from discussing the discussion of the deleted thread...
dev should ignore newbies because its not the fault of all of us. we dont deserve to lose the scope of JB. and when i had my defy i only knew 1 god for my mobile.. Quarx.. he made things which were not possible without him. i though sola's god was better than him. but he is pissed off by few noobs.

Mods arent that hard...and never will be
How many of us have received any official warning?? None of us I guess bcoz we were smart enough to refrain ourselves from posting non sense... Bt not all have that sense...
We need to understand what mods do is best for the forum... We may be relatively new here bt not the mods.. Some have been here since the website was started... Some although 2-3 yrs old on website spends a lot of time here keeping the place clean n organized.
Unless u do something wrong u wont b caught...
Here at xda we are given several official warnings (sometimes just our post /thread deleted or locked n no warning) before being taken down by a mod...
Ok, good. This is discussion already...
I see people with yes and people with no policy but only because some n00b members don't know how to use this forum (don't forget that there is a lot of amount of young people here - under 15 probably) and they probably don't know how things are going here. If this is a BIG problem for forum moderators (huge amount of new members) I suggest to lift boundaries on "when someone can post something" - think about it... it would be less thanks posts and "yipee"-es.
Please continue...
Here are my thoughts:
I still don't understand why we're still whining about munjeni's lost. Yeah, it's painful and disappointing but guys, we should carry on. Since he has given permission to use his work from the "JB PORT Discussion thread" (can't give the link because the mods deleted it), we can start from what he has left. I don't know why's that the JB thread of thunder is still closed. I know nothing compares to munjeni in terms of developing but we still have great devs here and I still have faith in them. Not just because munjeni has left, the development on JB will stop. I know it's a painful lost but we can't do anything about it anymore, we can just learn from it so that we will not lose another dev again. Come on guys....seriously.
Move on and what? If you think people are whining perhaps you can't understand their motivations. I can understand at least two reasons:
1. As the OP says, there are questions of freedom of expression. An example of this which I mentioned was the thread closing (without information) of the discussion thread of those of using the unoffical Jelly Bean port which, is a bit excessive. This is a ROM on my phone now (and many, many other's) and we simply can't discuss it now. Next, we will be banned from discussing the thread closure of the disucssion on deleted ROM. That's when you know it's North Korea - you can't discuss anything. I think these concerns are valid, even if some don't.
2. You need to learn something when things go wrong, or they will repeat themselves. Simply 'moving on' guarentees a repeat of the same experience. That's why people are discussing it.
But I want to know,why munjeni left us.?

back on topic
well... Moderators deletes and close thread or comments its normal, its what they do.... they must have valid reason to take actions.
good thing, they are still human and not AI. if they are not here... we'll ended up something like demonoid. people will start posting what ever they want, links to paid apps that they rip or mod. Others will have hard time catching up with roms since everyone starts to copy each other work and claim its theirs....
in short... i dont agree freedom of internet in XDA
