Dear Moderators
This is what you can do only ? closing the thread and then posting your comments?
Isn't it dictatorship ? when someone raise question against you and you all become one and try to close their mouth ,use all your powers to make him down and post your comments so he can't reply. Dear mods don't underestimate the power of common user and wounded lion.
You take world's history and find out whenever leaders become dictators ,revolution happened and they have been send out.
I already have said in my first thread that my question is not for all mods but some who are like that and i think they already got my message.
Now you tell me as you (AprrillaM3,orangekid,woody) are putting abusing pics in my thread (for all 3 i am not interested to see your pics,ass and support you required to show your position) whom should I report?
Is there any real moderator who is willing to take the action against these moderators ?? just by mod on paper is not good be a moderator to change something in good.
if you are true mod than open the thread and dare to see all user's feedback.
As I have raise question against Mods don't make a fight of your impression.
you are right.... maybe !! but this is not a forum for polemics or create problems but only to change and improve our phones. Stop please and be happy ( for all ) !!
Thanks XDA to exist.
For a Member that has been on XDA for only days, you sure are getting the unneeded and unwanted attention....
Thread Closed, please stop creating these threads.....
This will be my first post here in the OT section so let me make it a good one.
This is a forum game. This means anyone can join, well not really anyone since there will be a limit of 10 contestants per session of Mafia. To sign-up, you simply need to reply to this thread saying that you want to join.
There will be 4 roles: The nurse, the detective, the townspeople and the mafia. I will be the one who will decide on the roles of each participant.
The nurse has the power to heal or to revive someone they might think is dead or will be dead. The nurse can revive his or herself.
The detective will make a guess on which of the participants is a member of the mafia and then I will tell them whether they're right or wrong.
The townspeople will be a group of people that may be 3-4 people. I ask one member of the townspeople who they think should be hanged because that person is a member of the mafia. I will tell them the detective's guess but I will not tell them wheter the detective's guess is right or wrong.
The mafia is a group that consists of 3-4 members. The mafia will get to know who the other members of the mafia are. They will then decide on who to kill among the rest of the participants.
All converstaions between me and the participants will be done through PM so that the game will have a sense of suspense.

Good luck and let the games begin!

Developers on XDA nowadays face more and more hate just cause they are not the favourite dev of someone, or cause someone thinks they did copy something. Sometimes people even make death threats against developers!
Should XDA do something about that, like for example filter obtrusive, insulting content in posts?
If you want to change something please sign the change.org petition here: https://www.change.org/p/xda-developers-com-make-something-about-the-hate-towards-devs-on-xda
BTW: I say this not just like that but I actually am a victim of this myself! See the pic in the petition!
XDA has Moderators to handle posts that disrespect others, or break any of the site rules. It takes reports to alert us though, we can't monitor every thread.
Also, this kind of drama creating thread is not going to help anything and will only work against your objective.
So please, simply report posts that break rules and Moderators will handle it.
And note, it definitely takes a thick skin to interact with others on the internet, developers especially. You can't let every negative post get you down, just ignore them. Does it matter what a stranger thinks? Not to me.
I am going to close this now. This kind of thing will end badly for everyone and serves no purpose.
Cheers,
Darth

Truth is the first casualty in a war or something similar is an often quoted saying these days. The recent reports of censorship on social media platforms are good examples of this censorship. Freedom of speech does not mean the license to troll or spread wrong information. I feel censorship by impartial judges is justified. The operative word being impartial.
What do you think? Do you agree with this view?
Do you think social media platforms should allow the unfiltered flow of content?
I don't use FB, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Tic-tok or bother to view a any of the major US news network's bs.
They pushed too hard and the worm has turned...

Not using any of these social media apps is definitely one approach. The problem is if we have family members active on only these platforms!

Not good... my Mom didn't raise a fool.
Need to bring up their level of wherewithal.
All those sites are purveyors of disinformation at the very best and completely untrustworthy.
censorship is no longer a matter of social media, it's daily business on public media too and concerns all people around the world. nowadays it's even forced by law on governments outrage. we have passed 1984 long ago.
I don't see a reason why we should play their game and self-censor each own. On the other hand there are people out there spreading fake-news on telegram or whatever, so I am fine with our common board rules - no religion - no politics.
Having own opinion is part of our identity. we don't judge about someones avatar or profile signature - what we all have in common we are tech nerds, that's why we signed up here, don't we?
this is currently happen on xda? some true useful stuff is from 4pda (WwR MTK which is really great tool to create scatter files for mediatek devices, Orange State Disabler which patches little kernel to remove the 5 seconds delay on unlocked bootloader, just to mention two of them) and is mirrored on xda by members (not authors). some genius russian spend lot time and mind and offers it for free, so why not allow link to origin for respectful giving proper credits?
my opinion, xda should generally allow links to 4pda and only censor if necessary. each link should be surveyed for its advertising character on its own. only explicit links should removed, no generalized claims...

@Pervokur
Welcome to XDA! We're greatful that you share your knowledge.
However; I've removed the references to 4pda! Same applies to your post here.
4pda is not only another phone related website (and not at all affiliated with xda-developers) but also well known for the distribution of malware and warez. Links to 4pda are not accepted on XDA.

@Alecxs Thanks very much for sharing your opinion. Censorship is a very subjective qualification for an action especially on a completely private website. In all the years that I'm visiting, monitoring and contributing to XDA - even before I was allowed to join the very small team of volunteers who mediate this site - I've never seen that anything has been censored on XDA. What I've seen (and am actually also now doing as a moderator) is that posts were edited or removed in cases when no content would remain after an edit because those post were not in line with the rules of this private website.
Would you call it censorship if I remove a post with a link to a child-porn site and ban the author? I certainly wouldn't call it so, and I'd even report all information I have in such cases to my local police station. Would you call it censorship?
Would you call it censorship if I remove a link to a website that offers warez and cracked premium applications and inform the authors that we don't accept that at all and made all users aware about this stance shown in rule no. 6 of our forum rules? I certainly wouldn't call it so. Would you do?
If we've visitors at our home and we told them please not to smoke but they don't care and do, I ask them to immediately leave. Would you call that censorship of the actions of our visitors? I certainly wouldn't call it so. Would you do?
In your above post you clearly explain that 4pda is another phone related website; something I also mentioned in my post that you've quoted. And the third bullet of our rule no. 11 says:
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.

I think it's just fair and quite understandable that XDA doesn't want to be a promotional platform for another phone related website.
If I visit the restaurant "Bella Roma" and order my drinks but when the waiter brings the menu, I say negative, please bring me the menu of the "Bella Napoli", I like to order their food, I'm most likely told that I won't be served and eat at the "Bella Roma" but could leave any time.
no generalized claims. that's all I said
edit: google translate: no sweeping accusations. that's what I wanted to say
