I know this thread isnt entirely skyrocket related, but it is nice to have an off-topic thread for SKYROCKET USERS to have to kick back and talk. Going to the off-topic forum is one thing, but those threads can get so jumbled and congested in a matter of hours that nobody knows who is talking to who. Besides, after the months I have spent with this forum, this is the only group I get along with, and the only group I care to get along with.

This thread gets locked, then this thread is misunderstood. This should be a place to chill so the other threads won't get spammed. But if that's the case then so be it.

Cleaned thread. I already locked the other thread for reasons that are known to those that crossed a line. I don't mine a off topic thread to "chill out" and just hang out, but If I have to continually intervene then its not worth keeping open. Hope everyone can keep out of trouble and have fun.

Posted this before I saw mod's post. My bad.
So, how bout that weather? It's no longer hotter than heck here. Welcome change.

Its hot today. Heat index about 108.
Armyveterangunner29, I believe in your sincerity regarding your message which you clearly demonstrate care for the quality of both content and membership of the skyrocket forum, and I thank you.
You are among many others in this forum which have been very helpful to many and have worked hard to share your work. I expect we shall see many great things yet to come from you and others alike.
Thanks, Alex__________________
To agree with you further armyvet, as collective owners of this forum, its in our hands to shape the forum's culture -which reflects it's members. There are members here that make a larger presence than others, and I encourage these individuals to use their influence to promote growth and community. This forum must foster its own growth for continued development of the skyrocket here on XDA; or face the ax of legacy status.
Many have been here from the skyrocket's launch, others a little later, and some more yet to come. As other devices launch our community changes shape and new waves of members come, as others leave. The skyrocket forum has always maintained it's welcome to everyone in a friendly and helpful manner.
I just wanted to take a minute to say my thoughts and prayers go out to anyone in and around Aurora Colorado. I'm not sure if anyone on XDA may have been in the theater or near it, but God bless all that were.

M_T_M closed the last thread saying it would lead to gun control arguments or something, although nothing like that was ever mentioned. He asked nobody create a new thread about it so just a heads up he will probably close this one too. That said, I have been thinking about the families and those affected all day. I have a friend that just moved to CO and first thing I did this morning was call him because I was not sure what part he had moved to exactly.
Edit: Wow at your speed test, that's amazing.
If it needs to be closed all is well.. I just felt like I should do something. The thing I hate most about this life is that stuff like this happens and there's usually nothing you can do about it.

Believe me we appreciate the sentiment.
I was going to allow it and monitor for any trolling/inappropriate response however I must respect M_T_Ms previous decision and follow suit.
Of course we are all deeply sympathetic and our thoughts go out to those affected, however I would not like to see such a poignant and well intentioned thread ruined by trolls.
Once again though, thankyou for the sentiment.

...not a complaint forum. Go somewhere else please. I can't read topics about my Nexus 7 because this section and Q&A, even Development are flooded with complaints. We could use a moderator over here. The Inspire section used to be like this but was cleaned up. This is a development forum for devs, not a woe is me forum. See the name, XDA-Developers?

XDA has evolved into much more than a development forum. The development is now pigeon-holed to the Development section of each device. Check there.

This is the "General" board. If you are looking for the "Development" board, I found it here for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1677
Go into any other "general" forum. It is threads helping development, information, etc. Not baseless complaining. Straight from a moderator and from the XDA phone splash page: "XDA was founded by developers, for developers."

All new device forums start off like this. Maybe after another month or so, everything will clean up and people will stop complaining.

It a new toy, you get this on any forum witth new toys, give a few weeks and the whingers will have thrown the new toy out of the pram and moved onto something else. This forum has nothing on some of the Pro Photography forums where they gather to complain about the latest £10k pro camera and how its missing this or that and swamping the forums to the point that people who make a living from the things cant hear above the noise and dross.
On the bright side they all get board soon and move along to whing at something else.
PS. I can understand maybe you are sick of the complaints if you are device is fine, and most probably are fine. But ASUS brings this on themselves, almost every dang tablet they release seems to have a really rough first batch.
As Accused24 said, once people get their bad units replaced, the frustrated cries will die down.
Oh the irony of this thread is priceless.
No, I'm simply doing as romans do.

This is supposed to be a development forum.
This too.
The forum in which this thread is located is clearly marked "general" and part of a publicly registrable set of forums.
And this thread is deliciously ironic.
XDA...for developers by developers. If you actually read what mods have to say, terms of service, etc you'd understand that.

So apparently just because people flood other forums with complaints it is okay to do it and keep doing it here?
My advise, avoid Q&A and General section because people like to be boss and do what they like over the net.
What development have you actually contributed to XDA?

Complaining about complaints.
Works like a charm.
No really, I do get ur sentiment and I dont really mean to troll u. But im just sayin, posts like this do more harm than good.
Nothing in a while. A good bit for my old phones before I was on the Nexus forum. At this point, I wouldn't even post if it wasn't for the annoying basement dwellers on here flooding this forum with stupid crap.

Just a suggestion but I would report the problem threads to the moderators to lock them rather than opening a new thread to get your point across.
This way is more fun. Have you sent a complaint to moderators yet?
Just don't reply to the threads and let them die a natural death.

Something's wrong with Off Topic.
Be it double standards, unfair bans, post deletions... whatever...
All members who feel they have something constructive to contribute are welcome.
Let's try and solve these issues once and for all.
This thread started with it's main focus on two incidents that took place yesterday.
As I have repeatedly stated, those incidents are just a symptom of the disease.
Perhaps Off Topic is just a tumor on the face of XDA that needs to be excised.
Perhaps it's a place for people to cool down and fraternize.
But the members posting in OT have felt that something's been going wrong for the post few months.
Maybe that wrongness is an erroneous perception on our part, or maybe there actually is something wrong. We've all been trying to discuss our feelings about that on this thread.
Trying to wash all the dirty laundry once and for all, to resolve all the issues people have had here so that we can go back to our meme-posting ways in peace.
Please feel free to comment on us users too. Like the title says... this is a discussion, and I'd love to hear your side of the story too.
Please discuss.

@svetius @P1Tater
Today's incident isn't the only time users have had issue with this moderator, and the only reason I abandoned the PM I was writing and made this thread was because I felt other members should take part i this discussion as well.
Please comment, @flastnoles11 @FlyGurl

Thanks for posting this *****ing awesome thread.
I believe because mods (I'm obviously generalizing here, there are many that don't) think of themselves as a separate group from the rest of "us" and because of their "kinship" they show leniency towards each other.

Banning for use of the word ***** is just stupid anyhow. If you want to say it's a swear word, add it to the filter. Otherwise, if it isn't being used in an abusive or insulting way, let it be.

That's a pretty half-assed avoidance of the subject, plus, a moderator response to a report should be more mature, and at least attempt to use proper grammar. This looks like a 12 year old wrote it, I would expect a higher level of maturity from a mod.

Unless something went on behind the scenes, I'm pretty sure cfb mentioned it (actually as an example of the double standards), and Jeremy changed it before any mod took action.
