Database Develop

Xda tv - what do you want to ask captainkrtek?

My show on xda tv will be an interview show. For the first episode, I will give captainkrtek a proper interview.
Captainkrtek is a forum moderator, news writer, server admin, and is diving into android app development. Please post questions you would like me to ask him here.
Thanks!

^^ when was this??? I want to ask hIm!!!

I would like to know how he feels about companies like motorola that seem hostile to custom ROM development on their hardware? I would also like to know how he feels about the direction android development seems to (is taking) with the different versions for tablets versus phones? Sorry if I asked silly questions.

I guess you'll have to watch to find out
In all seriousness though, I will be using silly questions here and there to lighten the mood, so yeah, I'll probably use it

Ask him if scrizz ever gave him those bacon cookies and if he abandoned the galaxy sense project for the fascinate. Tell him bubby323 can help him out.

Xda pro apple?

I saw some moderators closed a boycott apple thread. I mean if it's in a offtopic forum. Why does it matter? Its starting to piss me off.

Probably because it was completely useless and was just waiting for a flame war to begin.

Moderators should be objective, so any flaming thread will be locked.

No. They want people to stop making useless threads.

Dude.. this is an Android forum. I'm pretty sure none of the Mods use an iPhone as a primary phone.

Locking useless threads is wrong? So I guess it'll be wrong when this thread gets locked too.

I can guarantee that no mod has closed a thread because they either agree or disagree with a pro or anti apple argument.
If you have a problem with a closed thread then get in touch with the moderator that closed it.
We don't need a thread to discuss it, and with that, this thread is closed.

Before the moderators close this thread, let me ask one question. Is there an apple development thread on this site?

Threads like that are just immature and pointless, and almost always end up in flame wars.

Convenience is not an excuse to clutter this place with redundant threads. Be courteous to others and keep all questions of one subject in one thread.

The problem is that, yes, you are telling the truth. You call it "editing a thread", I call it be respectful to the Off topic thread. You started a thread about this. Instead of merely adding to that thread, you started another. If everybody thought like you, this place will be full of threads of the same subject, making it unusable. Instead of just thinking of yourself, think of others first.

Quite right. Do not spam the forums (spam is not just commercial or advertising - it is also pointless junk, or in this case total laziness that you've admitted to).
Use your existing thread or don't post.

Full WP8 Look (Launcher)

Hey guys, i just wanted to let you know how you can use a combination of Launcher 8, statusbar+, and wp notifications to get a look pretty similar to WP8.

Thanks for the info. But most of those apps mentioned currently have problems with Jellybean.

And who are you two, to decide who is allowed to post these days? who made you guys the forum police?

Its a Suggestion, cos we felt it irrelevant to have a post without any values to the community.
This is an App n Theme thread, not a SHOUT LOUD Thread after all.

Yes but you are not a moderator, and if you have a problem just pm a mod or report me.

Let's Have a Discussion

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.
@NotATreoFan @Judge Joseph Dredd @MikeChannon @M_T_M
@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
@roofrider
@veeman @jugg1es
@Prawesome

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.
