Hi!
I am just a softwaredeveloper who created an account here in this board in order to get in contact with some people. I translated ROM parts for chefs, shared ideas and tried to help other people with their questions.
Yesterday when proposing an idea for a new ROM i linked to an application in another forum - it turned out to be a patched version (warez). The link was correctly removed by an admin (without contacting me - if i hadn't checked the thread i may never realised) - thats ok. I dont want to start a discussion about warez, cooking ROMs, the nature of this board or whatever.
I corrected the link to the original authors website and after that i got banned from the board. Nice. The mod didn't contact me about my mistake before with the link (hey - maybe forum rules should be worked out more precicely and put in the header / footer of the website?). The mod didn't check the new link but banned me just without reason. I contacted the administrator and got no response.
Hey - if this is a misunderstandig, then unban me and a short sorry will do it. If you just dont want me in that board for any reason, then tell me and delete my account, posts and personal info.
licht77
Anyone knows why licht77 got banned?
He only re-posted the link to the website of the deveopers of his recommended software.
OMG! Poor man
I corrected the link to the original authors website ... The mod didn't check the new link

...if this is true then IMO licht77 perhaps does deserve an apology or at least explanation for;
LINK REMOVED AND TEMPORARY BAN ON USER FOR REPOSTING

how 'bout it, TaurusBullba?
HA! Why do we always assume it was Taurus who did the banning? I'll tell ya, Bulls got a mean temper..
It's a shame
If what you say is correct then the Mod should reconsider.
All the foul language and personal attacks seems acceptable.
I think that the standard of co ntrol lacks consistancy.
Comon Mods be fair, firm and consistant.IMHO
Thx, i got unbanned.
Did you get any explaination ? or an apology ?
Hi! Sorry for the late answer...
Yes i got an explanation and some apology too - it seemed to be a misunderstanding because 2 senior members reported the link as "bad" but it wasn't... and the mod didnt doublecheck it himself. I hope in future banning will be done more carefully and not just based on "second-hand information"...

So, the other post where i asked for Sashimi 7.5 was closed by all the way.
Why?
I don't know.
Just because i asked for the reason of deleting Sashimi from the forum?
is it so evil that i want to know if there is a backdoor or warez in this software before i load it into my phone.
I'm not interested in the fact that bengali is baned, but i just want to know whats wrong with his software. But if you will begin to close all posts with this thread, free opinion here goes down.
Just tell us what the problem with the prog is and good.
If you think that was too hard, than you could bann me, too but that has nothing to do with a community.
And by the way, thanks to thoose who send me Sashimi 7.5...
Now i'm finished

AFAIK there is no problem with the software - bengalih "appeared" to take the thread down himself.
Now to your previous thread:
Your points in there were fine and valid I don't think P1Tater had any beef with that. But jeanga and akarnik began a discussion about bengalihs actions, which are still under review. So it was closed to avoid speculation until all the facts are known.

Thanks for the answer my friend.
With something like that, i can life, cause it answers my questions, an good.
The fact that people are speculating about the ban is normal i think.
Cause if a member with over 1000 posts is banned people start to talk.
If someone with 50 posts is banned noone will notice.
So AlltheWay, don't be mad with me, and before people start to talk again, please close this post.

In the future if you have a problem with actions taken by a Mod then PM them, ABSOLUTELY do NOT open a new thread. I am sure that AllTheWay or P1Tater would have explained to you why they closed the thread if you had followed the proper procedures. Even if done in ignorance, this can get you a temporary ban for not following the rules. Just a word of advice.
I just opend a new thread caus i noticed hat many people arround here having the same issue.
Don't understand me wrong, i don't want to piss off someone, but a mod, too can get contempt for what they do.
This is what i call freedom of speech.
(could anybody please close this thread)
I, P1Tater, closed the thread, not Alltheway. I closed it because the question was asked and answered and then a discussion pertaining to items under investigation were discussed. There was nothing meant towards anyone.
Simply put, question asked and answered and no need for discussion in to items under investigation. Therefore, thread closed.
This thread closed as well.
I was wondering why I couldn't view the marketplace? I have it bookmarked so I could see it before. Thanks.
Do you have a connection to the internet?
Hey there,
New rules were implemented a little while ago as an antispam measure meaning there are now minimum requirements before "new" members can post there.
I believe there is currently a review of current market place rules not that i expect this restriction to be lifted any time soon.
Look around the forum a little more, contribute and you will then pass the minimum post and member time rules.
Cheers,

Yes I posted here right
It says I don't have user access or something, but why not? I mean whats so wrong with viewing the marketplace so I can maybe buy someone's phone or compare the priced to craigs list?
I am sorry but I just think it's rather annoying to make forums where you got to ask just to be able to see certain "sub forums" or "directories" whatever.
I was just hoping it was a mistake but nobody seems to care.
Hey there,
Dont seem to care??? Give me a break.
The rules were made for yours and our protection. Make a few more posts and spend a little more time on the forum (you are new after all) and you will be able to sell on MP!
Is it really life and death that you MUST view MP now?
If so, i have one word for you.....................EBAY!
Matter closed.
Thanks...
I did have a nice long reply posted but it seems a waste of time.
I just want to say I don't like that system. I think I should be able to view the marketplace forum. Restricted posting would suck but be ok. But hey it's not my forum so I don't get to choose these things.
But I found it dumb since every other android/PPC/Phone forum I go to allows me to atleast read the buy/sell forum. I thought it was a mistake that I couldn't here since I am registered. But I guess not.
Enjoy your class system.

Sorry I missed your post. Thanks I was wondering why I couldn't view something I could before.
I would contibute but thats not my style I am more or a lurker as I am not a expert on this phone stuff though I have used PPCs for years. I was just wanting to read a forum I had read before.
Thanks again.

I am sorry I didn't know those existed. But guess what I can't even read the marketplace rules . Here is what I get a page with this...
MasterColdSoul, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
edit:
Also my main thing was why have I lost the privilege to see the marketplace (I could see it before, now I can't). So I thought maybe it was a error.
I guess I shouldn't get upset about it. Sorry
Posts
For what it is worth, you are about a 1/4th of the way their on posts. You could always attempt to answer questions in this forum until you reach 30 posts.
Yeah I imagine I will be posting more as I try to root the phone I am buying today. It's a MyTouch 1.2 so I will be buying a 2 gig microsd in a attempt on making a gold card to root it. I know I am going to be rereading the faq's on that about 10 times before attempting since if I mess it up I will have to buy another phone .
If there is any questions I can awnser I try to. I was trying to point a another new person to the Rom Bible in the MyTouch 3G Rom section when they asked where to download roms. I also had a link to the cyro rom forum which was linked in the rom bible as a possible good rom for him to use (since I hear about it being used by people on craigslist and charging for it). But when I did I couldn't make the post because it had links it said to "outside the forum". So I removed the cyro link and tried again. It still wouldn't even let me refer to the rom bible thread in a reply with a link to it. So at that point I figuared someone could awnser who had the ability to give him a link and not just say "look at the sticky thread "rom bible"".
I will just not let it get to me and try to contribute what I can until I am able to be more helpful and also enjoy more of this forum.
Post limit is currently 5, so you should now be able to use the Mp.
PLEASE READ THE RULES OF THE MP before posting, or your thread could be closed if you do not follow the guidlines.
Good luck.
Here are a whole buch of Apk's for those of you who can use them.
Enjoy!

You obtained approval from the creators to upload these without permission I assume? Or are they all under a 'open' license?
edit: and yea, it's just an unzipped ROM's dumped /system/app directory uploaded to mediafire.
edit2: looks like CM6 perhaps? I also see Facebook... Amazon MP3, etc
sorry guys. i had this in the dev section for a guy who needed them and they moved it

You posted this orginally in DEVELOPMENT !?!?! You may want to stop doing this posting others work with no credit crap. This is the third thread you posted of others work with no credit and lame excuses. Read the forum rules, you are clearly violating them. People really do get banned for this stuff. If you are tryin to send something to "a guy" you shouldn't say "for those of you who can use them" that implies a broader intent, and if it really was a favor to "a guy" then figure out how to use the PM feature. Please stop clogging the boards with stuff you didn't make, stuff that any member can get EASILY, stuff that an actual dev worked hard on. If you ever actually develop something feel free to post it, but leave other peoples stuff in their own threads. And please learn how to post in the CORRECT section.
EDIT*
To not seem like a spam post, I decided to simplify this. If you are a developer in need of a mirror with ftp access, you can e-mail me at [email protected], If this post is violating the rules of this forum, please delete it. I just wanted to contribute in some way to the forum and developers since I myself have no where near the talent and skill that many of the developers have in this forum when it comes to programming with android.

Hello,
I wanted to take some time out to let you guys know, I'll be offering a mirror to any KNOWN developer. PM me if your interested, If you are a known developer around the forum, I will give you an FTP account with directory info for linking. Unlimited storage, and Unlimited bandwidth. Please do not upload anything unrelated to this forum! My domain is www.massivemirror.com, The main page is currently under construction, But I wanted to offer it up to you guys first, Since I know you developers really need it (and I cannot stand multiupload/rapidshare/megafail)

Hi Guys,
I am opening this thread for discussion on the ever growing problem of some users in this forum breaking the warez rules here on Xda.
My warning here seems to be doing no good as there has been now many users banned or perm banned and totally ignoring it, although more the fool them for risking it.
So, if any of you want to contribute to a discussion on this then i am all ears also if you have been banned or infracted then give your views on why you did it as i would like to know why you did it?
Look forward to your replies guys and your thoughts on this topic.
right

Maybe you have a problem understanding what Warez is then as i have looked at your proflile and you have 2 infractions against your name. One was for asking for somebody to upload you a paid app and the other for posting a link where you could download paid games for free.
Please read the warez rule and tell me which part you do not understand??
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

No, high traffic forums have 2 but all forums across the board are looked over by senior moderators from time to time and they are always at hand.
can we evading the rule by Google "abcxyz mediafire" . I dont blame mediafire but the trust is mediafire have alot of paid apk
Or sent though private ms
Or just say "Go and buy it"
I guess, Private Messaging is fine and nothing beats telling them to buy it...
@colussus
Please clarify the google bit?

Just say "go and buy it" it is as simple as that, suggesting ways of finding it falls in the rules.
What nobody has explained to me is why this forum is far worse than any other i cover?
I get no joy in banning users, mostly all of us are here for the love tech and i am no different to you. Banning somebody for breaking this rule is dis-heartening as it can easily be prevented but i am confused why so many ignore the rules and warnings??
One guy yesterday started a thread here breaking the warez rules, he had already been infracted for this previously, i closed it and infracted him and his response was to start opening more and more so in the end got a months ban. How pointless was that??
- May be create an account is too easy so people dont care about rule
- trying to sabotage XDA
Just go over these suggestions please.
- maybe you could add some filters that will prevent people with less than say 10 posts from posting a URL?
- Maybe the first 10 posts need to be approved by a moderator?

Any ideas are welcome buddy and thankyou for your input. Your 10 posts before being allowed to posts a URL seems a good idea and i will check that out with admin.
Do you guys think the Warez rule no 6 wants making clearer, do you think that maybe this is a problem for some or do you think the ones who keep breaking it just do not care??
6. Do not post warez.

Yes, there will always be users who join just to cause havoc, i think you will find that in most forums but they soon show on our radar and are given the boot very quickly.

yes, it could be a little clearer.....
i was infracted for just mentioning about a warez software (no link or anything else whatsoever)....but i hadnt read the rules earlier so i kinda deserved that for ignorance....
after i read the rules, it says that "do not post warez"....instead it could be a little more wide...
like "do not ask for warez, nor help any one with warez...if you see a thread/post which contains direct download link for a software/game/app which requires you to pay/buy it for its use, then please report it"
^^just my suggestion...making them a little more clearer should help....
btw what are the infraction points u need for a temp ban and a permanent ban?
afaik 15 points means a temp ban if you're a senior member.
I think also, no 6 could be clearer and in its effect "stronger". To say, "We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained." without an effect, which has very often no direct reaction, is too weak. For example, Aspire's suggestions should have regarded to.
Ah well first of all thanks for making thus topic. To answer your question well the people that come to this specific forum are in the age of 14 to 18 and are mainly noobs who have no idea about what rules are I have also moderated one of the big communities in orkut and I now what its like to handle such a vast variety of people from noobs (just saying) to developers. And about solving the problem well its one hell of a task and can hardly be achieved. But some strict rules should be applied to this forum
