All the best,

The mods removed my "make a request link" in my signature.. I guess I'm no longer allowed to do custom artwork for the community. First they tell me that I can't link to my paid themes, but they don't do anything to people linking to paid apps. Now I get an infraction for having a "donate" links in my signature but tons of others are allowed to do this.
Why are these moderators singling me out for punishment when I'm doing the same things others are doing? Is this how we want our xda community managed?
1st off. I will come right out and say it.
NO ONE, I mean no one from the Team Whiskey Development Team sent in a complaint. We all appreciate everything you do for our team, so why would we do that.
2nd, Someone who says they are from Team Whiskey, that isn't the following:
Sombionix, ViralBlack, myself (Krylon360), DesignGears, Morfic, ardchoille, and SkOrPn; are lying.
And as far as the infraction, you may as well give EVERYONE who has a link in their sig that has Pay For stuff on that site a infraction, starting with me. Why, because we have a Donator's section.
Enjoy.
Krylon360 off XDA.
If you really are the only one treated this way, looks more like personal vendetta instead of forum moderation.
They have done this to me also,which i think it really stupid,
all i did was provide invites to a certain site, not post the link of the site here,so they banned me for 7 days, maybe those ppl need a life
and also new mods are allowed to break the rules but if membes do they get a warning
Since the OP has been posting links to paid/commercial software it falls under rules 7, 8 and 11 of the Forum rules
So this infraction was giving in full compliance with the rules.
If there are (as implied) other users who link to software with the intent to sell, please report them so we can evaluate and take the necessary actions.
If you think you are treated unfairly, please contact one of the board Admins, present your case in a rational matter and they will look into it.
Opening a thread isn't a good way to handle it.
Regards,
EquinoXe
Ok, since you want to play like that, I am more than happy to explain my (and other mod's actions) in public.

If it isn't clear enough, you are clearly selling your work on XDA. Your signature was modified to remove the link to your website where you are selling the themes (in case you don't see any issue with that, this is known as advertising)
Just as my pm as well as pulser_g2's pm, we both quoted the rules that you are breaking by doing this. In case you missed them, here they are:
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)

11. Don’t post with the intent on selling something.
As an elaboration to rule number 7, don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. If you are the proprietor of a for-pay product or service, you may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or offer support on the product, but you may not make any posts with the primary intent of selling. This includes posting press releases, announcements, or links to downloads for trial software; the only exception to this is when you’re posting an exclusive release to XDA. Off-site downloads are permitted as long as the site does not require a fee or mandatory registration to access the content.

@Krylon,
Your work and Team Whiskey's is fully featured on XDA and free of charge to members. Donations are only prohibited when they are asked up front as per Rule #8
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.

There is nothing wrong with having Donate links in your signatures. Asking for donations in lieu of a service, product, etc is no longer a donation as is called selling.
So, before you all jump in trying to defend him, make sure that you read the rules first. Plain and simple. I am not acting on a vendetta (hell, I don't even know him). He is selling his work on XDA and that is against the rules. No ifs, no buts.
If you are all so hellbent on not reading the rules, you have a moderator among your ranks. Ask him and he will tell you the same exact thing I just did.
Per forum rule 11:
11. Don’t post with the intent on selling something.
As an elaboration to rule number 7, don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. If you are the proprietor of a for-pay product or service, you may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or offer support on the product, but you may not make any posts with the primary intent of selling.

As such, having threads open for the sole purpose of showcasing a theme requiring payment (I call this selling, but this could also be classified as requiring a donation up-front) is not acceptable.
Likewise with linking to these threads off-site, as that is advertising of your paid product.
Users are free to have a donation link in their signature or (recently added) button above the user profile. You are not allowed to require donations for access to work (selling), or offer to do work in exchange for donations (see end of rule 8 regarding up-front donations).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, on an unrelated note, posting invitations or offer of invitations, to sites engaging in the distribution of warez is not permitted on XDA, and re-adding the offer to a signature isn't acceptable behaviour. Rules 6 and 9 cover this.

Jeez...
First of, you were giving invites to D*******d, which is a warez site (one of the largest torrent trackers on the web). So, right there you broke Rule 6
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.

You were told once to remove the links in your siggy and since you didn't comply, these were removed for you. A few days later, we found out that you had placed these links again, so you got banned for it.
The "mod" breaking the rules that you are describing here was reprimanded for it. In case you guys are wondering, this is for posting an eBay link in a MP thread, which is not allowed. The link was removed and a warning was issued to him.
Im on .9 after being rooted because no matter the kernal/rom combo, my GPS was hosed. Back to stock now and all is right again. Just wondering if there are any new stock ruu's past .9 out, or coming soon?

They are also threads in which the OP contains a RUU, not someone asking if a new one will be released. If you can't tell the difference then you should reread the forum rules.
I did,...have you?
If not, here they are, and no where can I find that in the Developers Forum must you provide actual RUU's, not just ask about them.
Forum & Marketplace Rules
FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 New Members: Treat new members the way you would have liked to have been treated when you were a new member. Provide the new members with guidance, advice and instruction always with respect and courtesy.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
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.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

This is not a q&a forum. Those RUU threads you speak of contained the RUU, not someone asking after them. If your not posting a ROM, Root method or MOD, then it doesn't belong in the development section. Put it in general...
Thread reported for closure.

Right, but Im not asking about which battery to use, or why does my TB take bad pics, its about RUU's, I mean close it, move it, whatever the mods want, but its a question I researched, found nothing on, its about RUU's, which are used to develop new ROMs off of...so I figured asking about a ROM, albeit a stock one, should be asked here. Not trying to be a hard ass.
And questions belong in the general forums, not the dev forums. It's a simple concept, these forums are for MODs, Kernels, ROMs, and the like.
I have not seen any new ones. The GPS works fine if you turn on WiFi even if you are not on or near WiFi. Try it and see if it works for you.

I think this thread has to do with dev. He asked about a new ruu that might fix his GPS issue. I also think its sad that all these replies are just flames and no help. To answer your question, I have not heard of any RUU. Have you tried the gps fix in these forums?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Thank you,...yes, I have tried all the gps fixes, wifi on/off, it didnt seem to matter. Im cool with being stock, as my max stable OC was only 1.2ghz, so no big loss there,and now that Juice Defender (Beta) is playing nice with the TB, my battery life seemed to have improved to near UV performance. What Im looking for is hopefully a fix for the garbled sounds from the camcorder. And I will re root again to try out new ROMs again, Im sure, maybe whatever was farking with my GPS will be ironed out by then.
Aaaaaaand moved. Oh well, less exposure to the people who would potentially know the answer, but what can you do. Next time I will link an old RUU in the thread and everybody will be happy.
Message boards arent really a democracy dude. If someone tells you wrong forum, say sorry, and move it.
Why sit here and whine about it only making enemies of people who could potentially help you? Most people also check the general forum.
What's up Techies? What I was wondering - is where the line is drawn? How do you know your are commiting the action or process with what files?
From what I gather it is the illegal distribution Of copyrighted materials. I was reading and it seemed a guy just mentioned a program and he was chastised and boom thread closed. He may have posted a link and I didn't realize - I can't find the thread again, I was just meandering about the forums....
Mr. Clown shut his arse down though... And a couple other tech peeps were like hey bro, no no...
Just Wondering.

Wikipedia said:
Warez refers primarily to copyrighted works distributed without fees or royalties, and may be traded, in general violation of copyright law. The term generally refers to unauthorized releases by organized groups, as opposed to file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using a darknet. It usually does not refer to commercial software counterfeiting.

The way I've always looked at warez was... Is it full version, not beta or trial, and are you paying for it?
In other words, are you downloading something that you'd otherwise have to pay for in order to use?
Links to sources of that kind of material, even though it is not an actual warez item, are just as bad.
Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
Warez is obtaining paid software for free or circumventing ways to pay for it. Providing links to sites/materials is just as bad and won't fly here.
We all need to read the Stickies, too. This is discussed in there. I think the post you referred to was asking for Warez, which is taboo here at XDA. The history is that access to, and discussions of, Warez\Pirated software threatened to shut down XDA several years ago. Imagine what life would be like without XDA.
Warez talks (solicitating links, request, posting, discussion or any talk) by any kind in threads or PM's will be shut down
@ Everybody - Rock On and thanks. That's a big ten four. Glad I asked...

Over time I've become known by some as being a hardass for making GPL compliance an issue. I've also taken sever members to task for their ass-backwards opinions concerning GPL. I was just visiting Rootzwiki and came across a thread that addressed the removal of download links for a ROM from a dev many of us know; Ching51o. Why? Because he packs Ziggy's non-compliant kernel in his ROMs. That defies the rules of Rootzwiki AND XDA-Developers.
I want to post the thread here for everyone to read. Adrynalyne, another well known dev around here, makes many good points, as do the moderators. Their positions should be the positions of anyone involved in open source GPL software in any way. The mods at Rootzwiki took what appears to be appropriate and fair action against distributing non-compliant software.
The Rootzwiki thread
I'd also like to ask XDA why their enforcement regarding the posting of non-compliant GPL material differs from Rootzwiki's (as in, XDA doesn't enforce it), even though the policies of both are virtually identical.
No disrespect intended here. Like I said, I've been a hardass about the GPL and I don't plan to stop. The GPL is the reason this forum exists and we ALL need to realize that. We also need mods that will act in it's interest and take some simple measures to respect it.
I for one agree that I've seen inconsistencies in the way XDA enforces GPL. DJ_Steve was a dev in the Dell Streak 7 forums who left because the mods were on him regarding the source code for his kernel. He couldn't produce it so he left. I was annoyed that he had to take his work elsewhere but I understood. On the flipside however, I've seen multiple roms package ziggys kernel and there appears to be no backlash. I'm not trying to started anything either but was is XDA's official position on this? Whatever it is it should be universal.

Since the thread I posted is closed, participation is impossible. If you assume that to mean linking to a site that has anything to do with cell phones in a fashion that could be interpreted in some way to be XDA competition, you're wrong. XDA cannot exist in a vacuum and they know it. XDA is interested in the traffic. Besides, I bring XDA more traffic than that link will ever send to Rootzwiki.

I've tried the same with no replies. They just sort of "cherry pick" which software should follow the GPL (and remove from xda) and which they will overlook.
XDA is a strong believer in, and does enforce, the GPL, and has been very unpopular in the past for doing so. I will admit, however, that sometimes GPL issues are slow to resolve, including the issue mentioned with Ziggy's kernel. Which IS being worked on. (Really.)
Seriously guys I have received all your pm's and took down the main rom that broke GPL in chingy's rom. As far as the other rom in question it IS being worked on, I simply don't have the information to give at this time. I'm not the moderator handling it.

I'd like to thank both of you for your replies. I do believe what you say. I've seen how unpopular some of the actions moderators have taken regarding GPL have become, but I do believe the right actions have been taken.
Some of you may disagree with what I've said. That's fine, but don't voice it here in this thread. Talk to these guys directly via PM. The primary purpose of this OP is to share thoughts on the GPL and to foment debate and, hopefully, the changing of a few minds on the issue. Too many members of this community have failed to understand the GPL, how it shapes this community, and what our obligations are regarding it.
Moderators really shouldn't have to police this thing like they do. Many of us are here because we believe the "open source way" is the better way to develop software than any other method. That's why we believe Android is inherently better. It should logically follow that this community would support GPL and Apache compliant work and developemnt, and likewise, shun developers and software that's non-compliant. I'm here to change the minds of those who don't believe that should be the case. If that's you, this is the place for you to say your piece and debate.
I'm planning on releasing a game for iOS and Android. I've got 2 options - either annoy users with ads every 2 minutes and losing profit when they turn off wifi/use adblock OR giving them option to "pay" me using their phone as cryptomining device. The plan was to mine mainly when device is charging and not overheated, so user won't notice any battery drain or speed issues.
It was shame to find out that any form of cryptomining on users devices is forbidden by both main stores. Does anybody know of a way to not being found out by any of these stores?
Will Play Protect (and whatever Apple uses) detect it or does detection depend on users reports only?
Thanks

Please can you refer to something, that says it is illegal, and in which cases? I doubt it is illegal when the user agrees to using it.
And as I said, it wouldn't be the only illegal content here, would it?
Kind Regards,

Are you kidding?! You cannot inject malware to jack someone's smartphone and use it to mine. Not to mention the shear stupidity which you will not even get pennies. You understand that it's called theft correct? It's a clear violation of the electronics communication privacy act, the computer fraud and abuse act, and the children's online privacy protection act. Then there are numerous state laws it violates. Anyone seen supporting this, will also be liable to be held responsible. This is disgusting.

That's so rude and uncalled for.
If you have nothing helpful to post, ignore & move on. You are not forced into responding.
