I found our main Sheriff s.d.oconnor closing many O2X threads lately with reasons like the following:

Thread Closed, running the risk of breaking warez rules and becomming a 10 poster breading ground.

So what exactly is a 10 poster "breading" ground and why is it bad?
The word "breading" doesn't even exist, does it
Also: why is the risk of posting warez a reason for closing threads? This risk is always there in every thread, I could post a warez link right now
Does the risk to slip on a banana skin and break your neck prevent you from getting out of bed as well?
Edit: Ahh I guess I can imagine now: a thread for easily collecting 10 posts? But this would be possible in nearly any thread anyway, no good reason for me.
I think he meant breeding ground. I think people can hide warez links within these threads (where it's easier to spread after all) or that people who want to clear their 10 post limit quickly can just post into these threads.
Lets start of with what a Breading Ground is, well it's a place where all the members who have less than 10 posts like to go and post nonsence just to achive there 10 posts, making more work getting rid of them. Also the risk of Warez within the thread you are talking about, alot of members where making lists of games that they think run well on the O2X. Well why is this a problem, well the lists were mainly of games that cost real money, all it would have took for someone to break the rules was to post a link to said games of how to get the said games for free, then this would have earnt that member a warning, or even an infraction, so to stop members getting themselfs in trouble, its just best to close the thread.
P.S - Thread Closed, next time anyone has something to ask me, please ask via PM.
My thread here was locked, and there was no reason posted. I understand if the lock is justified, but I'm just wondering whether it was a matter of not being Nexus related or whether it goes under the clause for some kind of advertisement, or what exactly it was. I don't know who exactly locked it or I'd just PM them directly, so yeah...

Looks like you're spamming the board with this stuff and your signature and it probably benefits you in some way.
You apologize IF you broke any rules, did you even bother reading them?
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
Also, you could have PM'd the mods.
I'll just keep adding codes to the OP, I guess, and remove them as they expire. Yay free money.

i'm thinking that has something to do with it...
Oh, I missed the referral link part >.>. There was a thread in one of my past forums where people were exchanging Dropbox referral links which was left open, and I guess I assumed it was okay. Am I allowed to keep it in my signature, or is that not allowed either?
As for PM'ing the mods, I don't know if there are specific ones moderating this forum or whether they are universal to all the forums, and I'm pretty sure there a lot of mods overall.

I don't really get it what part of that quote was a bad thing. The other codes provide no benefit to me, other than the first one, if that's what you're wondering.
In the end, it's a discount for people starting new T-Mobile contracts which is a lot of people in this forum, and I'm not making any more than they are. Plus, I can only add 10 people under me, and I can't add any more people or ways to make money beyond that, so I was not looking for monetary gains as opposed to just offering a way to save money. That being said, the rules of this forum are up to the XDA people and I'll respect them.

Wow, you really do learn something new every day. But yes, thank you for pointing this out, and I'll be sure to do that from now on. This thread can now be locked or deleted or whatever else necessary.
Moderator Edit: use Swappa.com to sell stuff, this here is a site for development///
P.S. If this thread needs moved, I would appreciate a moderator moving it...I can't post in the Want to Sell area yet.
Hi,
I see this has been mentioned in a thread, but just incase folk missed it, this battery is now available to purchase in the UK from Amazon UK for £25, free p&p.)
I posted the deal on Hotukdeals, and said how it seems to be popular with folk on XDA, I have been umming and ahhhing about getting it myself, and have just ordered.
Hope this helps, I have enjoyed Xda forums over the years, a great source of information.
Thread Closed - 3 threads for the same topic. Please post deals in the two primary threads for discussion about this product.
Ok, what is your favorite case? Where do you buy most of the cases you use? Amazon?
Please post your questions in the Q&A section.
Thanks

Also, look though the accessories section. There's lots of case threads with opinions and reviews. ?
