Dear Custodian,
I am assuming that your job is to keep some sort of building clean and in order. (If not, I have been mislead by your username but the following still applies)
An internet forum (and an especially large one like XDA Developers) is very similar. They need to be kept clean and our beloved mods are the custodians of this place. So Mr. Custodian, please help us keep the forums tidy and next time you create a new thread, use that search bar in the top right first to make sure you aren't creating a duplicate.
Thread closed because of the reasons detailed in the two posts above.
Started this thread for a bit of a laugh http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146873
It's since been closed on the basis that there's a Report button. Well in jiggered if I can find it on the android app.
Can anyone tell me where it is on the app?

Answer is there isn't one. Apparently you have to open the thread on the android browser to find it. HANDY!

Hi mitchst 2!
Yes, if you open the thread on the android browser and register, you could see the report button...

The xda Android app is not as elaborated as you use it on a PC browser. It lacks a lot of options. For example if you are using it on a PC, you can see who the forum moderators are where you can't do same on the phone. Also OT threads aren't encouraged on the development sections that's why there is a separate OT section for it on xda ( Got to know when my OT thread was closed and the mod asked me to post such things there. I thought he was joking but it was only recently when I got to know that it really did exist !! ) So either you post your threads there or simply use the same time doing some other fine job

Because on his PERSONAL site he linked to adfly.
Rules are made to keep things into boundaries and rules are needed, but the reason why Huexxx his threads are closed i can not agree with.
If adfly is not permitted on xda i think you stand in your right to lock the thread when they are put directly on xda. But this is not the case here. They are on his personal site. That's why I don't think you are even remotely in your right to regulate the content of someone his personal blog or site. Because it's PERSONAL.
You are not the ones to put any kind of censorship on someone his personal site or blog, unless the content linked to or placed there is illegal by law.
My opinion about this is that all threads that are closed for the same reasons should be reopened.
All i can say is, welcome to little Chin(XD)a.
Regards.

I think you are approaching the subject from a little narrow angle. And rules are rules. And the rule goes like this : "Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration." XDA is not designed for profit making, so moderators put rules like this. Personal opinions are irrelevant. I don't mind this kind of thing either. Waiting 5 seconds is nothing for me. But rules are rules, and if you are here then you have to respect them.
I only wish Huexxx wasn't offended by this thread closing, we are all looking forward for his ROM.

Not designed for profit making....
Have you ever opend the site from a desktop / laptop?
The site is sooo slow because it's stuffed with commercial banners. I think they should change the line in as long as xda can't profit from it it's not allowed... ect.
And i stick with my opinion btw. Even if it might be narrow minded.
Edit: i know the rule you quoted, and i still think that xda is not someone who has any power over content placed on people's own private websites. Unless they can show me an official document that says otherwise. If xda does not have this, the only content they should worry about is the content on xda itself. Not somebody his personal "private" space wich is not related to xda forums.

I totaly agree with you ! :good:
I highly agree with you, Duumke1.
Closing Huexxx threads is only harm for OB users, as we don't have any other dev that is working on offical ics base.
(I know about Trasmusic, but he uses IZS as base).And as you mentioned before without adblock site is useless, slow and overloaded with ads.
So XDA is place to make money but not for developers... Personally i can only hope that Huexxx won't abandon our phone - we can make for free simple forum beyond xda. Just my 2 cents.
Regards and all hail Huexxx!!!

Just like you i hope Huexxx doesn't stop making roms for our device. I also know that xda probably need the ads to keep the site running.
If some of the income they make from those commercial banners goes to the devs here, they actually would be in their right to put up rules like discussed above, but because this is not the case i even think xda is in error by locking threads from Huexxx or any other thread closed for similar reasons.
In my opinion they don't have the right to do this if the content is not directly placed on xda forums.

They dont closed the Thread for Huex Blog links, they closed cuz somebody put ad.fly links in it, the thread is old enough, so, isnt about Huexxx blog, is about other members giving links to Ad.Fly.

Then they should have notified the users who did so and removed those links and give the users a warning, not close the whole thread.
An owner of a thread is not responsible for the content placed in it by other users unless they give the thread owner the ability to personally edit comments placed by others.

@Duumke1 They are the Mods, There are rules, if nobody read the rules before post whatever, we should stick to the consequences. They dont close threads for fun.

That makes even less sense.
The users who put the links should be warned, not the thread closed.
And it off curiosity, if xfa rule is to be observed, I love to see a non ad-sponsored download host that can take a lot of simultaneous downloads.
They all make you wait suggesting that paid membership is fast, instantaneous,etc.

The job of a moderator is to check and see if the content of posted threads comply to the rules. If it dies not, warn the people who are in error and mod their posts so they comply to those rules. Locking down threads because not the thread owner but other people violated those rules is just a easy/fast way of doing your job as a moderator in my opinion.

So, why start a Topic claiming for a thread closed, instead pming to the Mod who closed it?

If you read everything you should know this question is obsolete, because it is a shout out to the moderators and the above mentioned rule of xda.

And Mexicano, don't take it personal but I'm just speaking my mind here.

Ok lets me just confirm the reason for the thread being closed, and i will then concider the matter closed.
1. The use of a personal website to host the downloads and infomation for your Rom is allowed.
2. You CAN NOT use XDA to make money, simple.
3. Ad-Fly is a way of making money through referal, so those download links are not allowed on XDA.
4. If you host your Downloads on your Website, but those download links are Ad-Fly referals, then you are breaking XDA rules by just having a link to your personal website on XDA.
Result - Links to website have to be removed from Thread, as you are using XDA to make money with those links and thread has to be closed as the links are removed from the thread.
Thanks

Oh, Thread Closed
Hey guys I really didn't know which forum to put this in but since I like XDA the most, I'll help out the members of this forums! I found a link to where you can get the early beta access code for Killzone Mercenary and I'm not asking for anything in return. THIS ISN'T SPAM EITHER. Just go to Amazon's Facebook link ( https://m.facebook.com/AmazonVideoGames?id=137830960260&_rdr) and click on the beta giveaway. They're giving away 5,000 so get yours! You just have to like the page. Spread the word around to everyone else and please only use it if you have a PS Vita and want to play the beta. Thanks

First off, there's a gaming thread that is more suitable than creating a thread for every game.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279620
Secondly, there'll be no discussion of hacking the game since bypassing something that you normally pay for is piracy, usually illegal and most certainly not welcome on a development site.
