Explanations?

Earlier today, I started a thread telling a little story about Android. But, for no reason, it was closed shortly after. No explanations, nothing.
I did it in the right section, it was not offensive or rude, I don't know what the hell I did wrong. I don't mind my topics being closed, but with no explanations, this is just bullsh*t.
If somebody could explain it to me, it'd be cool.
Fyi, the link to the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683939
Thanks.

There appears to be a perfectly valid explanation in that thread.

Where? Between the lines? In the sky? Under my bed?
Thought it might be funny to tell a story about my two years using Android using a kinda-dramatic style, but I don't get where it's against the rules.
It's in the "off-topic" section, the same one where people tell the song they are currently listening to, or other things cool to share but not more relevant than my thread. As long as I don't infringe the basic rules, I don't get it.

You are kidding me right????
There was no need to start a new thread, your post would have been well placed in either of the threads you were linked to....

Contrary to popular belief, off-topic is not a place where you can open a thread for anything you like and it just flies. It follows the same rules that apply everywhere else in the forum. In this particular case, the rule is about not opening threads that already exist. I did link you to two threads that were relevant to your post.
As for this thread, if you have a problem with a mod decision then by all means question it, but don't open a thread to do it. Send a PM to the mod in question (namely me, in this case) and politely discuss it with them.

You are going to draw unwanted attention from a mod so I suggest you stop doing what you are doing in the fashion in which you are doing it. These restrictions are in place for a reason, mostly to stop spam posters.
Read this first please:
[GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)
If you have any other question afterwards you will know what to do.
One other thing. Is it so much to ask that you read for a bit first, pick up some knowledge and experience, help a few people in the 90+% of the site which is completely open to you, to participate with quality posts instead of BS posts, in return for being able to post into any of the ROM threads from any dev on this site?

Yes. You also don't get away with spamming for ten posts. Read this 19 times.....
Good day sir.

There are already so many threads here in OT that you can post to for your ten post, it should be extremely easy for anybody that takes one minute to look. Use the 'game threads' like last letter and similar word and such. Problem solved.
EDIT: Mods, why not make it so new users can't start a new thread until the 10 post limit is reached?

Well I obviously wasn't recommending he do that for purposes of being able to spam dev forums!! Its not like I am telling a secret loophole or anything, what I said to do should be common sense to anybody except the OP right? If it's that big of a deal then new users shouldn't be able to post in OT either. I'm just saying that's better than starting a new thread with no topic.

Yeah I appreciate that, but in general, most new threads created by new users have already been created plenty of times before. I done it myself, so I know that.
Granted, it's not an ideal situation but at least it would solve the issue, to a certain degree.

Firstly its "AOSP" not "ASOP" and second, why on earth didn't you even do a quick google of what it meant first before creating a topic?

because they stopped letting me ban for people post questions in general or people trying to be a smart arse, and explaining in how in anyway my pst positions as a moderator or lack thereof makes my question any less valid. and also as a long time member of this forum you too should find op behavior stupid as hes turning this forum into the cluster of knowledge it was when i joined into a orgy of DUURRR
(PPSSTTT, just because im dont have to look after you people, doesn't mean i cant point out what mistakes you make)

Agreed!

I can understand being too lazy to go buy groceries and ordering a pizza instead. I can understand being a bit lazy sometimes and playing more PS3 than going to the gym.
I will never be able to understand being too lazy to Ctrl+T and doing a Google search. I'm lazy myself, but that's just downright impressive.

I don't know if it is laziness as more effort went into creating a thread than doing a search. Why, if you have heard of AOSP and the Cyanogenmod team, not go to the effort of doing a small bit of research and seeing what one offers over the other? I mean if your interested in something, your willing to put in a bit of effort to fulfil that interest are you not?

A Simple search of "Difference between AOSP and AOKP" produces over 30,000 results.
I don't think you'll struggle finding your answer.

Open chat

There's been lots of threads closed due to us getting "off topic" on an off-topic forum(idk) but anyway I thought of trying this out. There's forums for almost everything and games going on, people even chatting in gaming threads, so I thought of making a thread just for those of us that feel a need for a notification just for chatting it up.
There's plenty of us that would want to be out and social 24/7 but then there's those that don't and the most sociality they get is from forums. Getting to the point, let's just start conversations here that we can't do elsewhere. Oh well let's see if this makes anything or gets closed too.

Supported device : Oneplus 3 , 3T , 5 , 5T.
First Look and review:

If you would read the posts, you would know that they don't want people to post anything about DU on XDA.

Almost, read this.
This is a Quote from a Post.
Back in early September of 2016 there was a situation between a friend of mines and XDA. This friend’s name is Nate Benis or better known as Beanstown106. Nate or should I say “Beans” as I call him was upset that a individual had taken his work and posted it on XDA prior to him releasing his official build. He really got upset. This was probably the first time that I had seen Beans upset in public. He normally keeps his thoughts private and so I was surprised. He pulled his source off github and took to G+ to call this guy out.

Not much. Alex didn't like XDA's direction, which seems fair. Creates new site to recreate what once was, admin gets upset, escalates things. Too much drama for me.
I wholeheartedly agree with the "glorified tech support" thing though. It seems most people here can't even pull up proper logs when they have issues. "issue here plz fix o kind dev."
I think XDA has become more of a tech site instead of an actual developer website, albeit developers still post here. If you look at Dev's Base, it doesn't have the completely off topic posts that XDA does. Not saying its a bad thing that XDA does, it just seems Dev's base is a dev site not a tech site.

What firmware are you all using on the new Jan18 build?

Have you tried and success to install Viper4android or any audio mod ?

Sorry if I came across harsh, and discussion is allowed. Just don't see the point of doing it here, when you could get responses from people who actually develop this ROM over on their G+. That's what I really meant, don't see point in this thread. Discussing it is allowed.

IDK, the large majority of Dev's Base seems to not be there for "tech" stuff. Considering the current lead of the site, I doubt it will change either. Its possible though.

It's only possible to keep the site that way if it remains small or if they ban every new user that doesn't know enough.
Looking at their G+ page and at what some DU users ask here on XDA, it's clear not everyone is a genius. Allow normal users to create accounts and install your fancy ROM and then you have a typical XDA thread with dumb questions.
