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?

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

I guess you did not read the thread completely. I am not here to advertise. It is just if in case some are interested and it is unpaid. Even the thread mentions about it. Moreover I have already mentioned the permission from senior moderator "M_T_M". If he would denied for it, I would not have proceeded further.

So your just gonna quit because you were criticized so what, you just gotta suck it up, move on and let it go. so they called you forum police? oh for p***k sake and your gonna listen to them and walk away. Thought you were more matured and stronger than this, guess I over rated you Chris.. Not even a show of maturity here.
Yea you can leave if you want to, this forum will survive no matter what...
Wish u the best wherever you headed.
N. B: A word of advice, criticism is part of life, u cant quit because of it. It will always find you.

Chris, I think this all happens in public forums you should not quit due that, you are senior. I accept with wesleyel in part where he says that "criticism is part of life, u cant quit because of it. It will always find you."
guys please stop being childish, instead of loose words why don't we concentrate on development of our device,after all that is the prime reason why we came here.
these kind of incidents definitely affects development and developers.
if u people cannot contribute to development then pls don't spoil the atmosphere here,till now ideos x6 forum was one of the best forum in xda but sorry guys I see that we are moving in wrong direction.
@chrillefr : friend we cannot stop anyone from going out but if u decide to move away,pls think again u earned lot of respect in this forum.
this just my few words to you.

In a word, no.
Threads aren't popularity contests, and that's exactly what it would turn into.
If a thread breaks the rules or gives a moderator reason to grimace then it goes. If you see something out of place then you should report it, explain what you see as wrong with it and then leave it to whichever forum mod deals with it.

I have been trying to get these BootTools from github compiled for android cross compiled for android for around 2 weeks without success, they build but when I unpack and repack my boot.img and then cat it to the block, it hangs at the boot screen and then reboots into recovery, when I repeat the same process on my desktop with the perl scripts it works perfect so I come here to ask for help on getting these tools cross compiled to run natively on android in a manner that works, thanks Mark.

Two: Read the rules again. This time don't ignore the rules about bumping.
well this is android development which section should I be in? also I find it a little petty that people can't post to help someone but they can to tell them they are in the wrong section, childish!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974569 are you asking a question or do you have some development you want to post?
And keep your childish comments to yourself!
Point taken that I am in the wrong place fair enough. As for the other thing all I ever see on all forums is people being passive agressive with each other, this in my mind and probably in the minds of the people who are operating in this way is not how things should be within a community of people who are supposed to be helping each other, just because somebody has senior or moderator next to there credentials does not make them any less important than anybody else, or less entitled to information or help, so you keep your snotty remarks YOUR self unless you have something construvtive to say, thanks.

Welcome to the internet man. That is all we have around here is passive aggressiveness. I have Moderator next to my name and yes it doesn't allow me to be any more entitled than anyone else. Oh wait, entitlement is one of the things that are driving Devs away. It does allow me to move threads, clean them and enforce the rules when necessary.
Maybe The Rules need to be re-read about how and where to post (#15).

Like the title says, this thread is for ALL members (no under-10-posts junior memebers allowed) of XDA, trolls or non-trolls, to post bizarre and wildly amazing or plain crazy things you find on the Internet (InterWebz for short) however they must comply to XDA rules, which is pretty much no illegal things such as..... you know what you shouldn't post.
