Power hungry moderators - EVO 4G Android Development

Thanks to the genius that deleted my thread about fixing the phantom voicemail without an email or even moving it to another section, as I have seen done with so many other threads.
I would have thought fixing the phantom voicemail was a development issue, as its a problem in ever AOSP rom ive tested, and I was attempting to contribute to the solution.
But someone decided they were high and mighty instead...

This is probably the wrong way to go about this. You should probably try to find out why first...

Wow... cry much?

LOL U MAD. Also, that should have been in Q&A, not dev.

They probably deleted it BC your not actually contributing any "dev " work. Roms, kernals, ports etc usually go in the Dec section. Questions go in the general section.

Did anyone happen to notice he only has 1 post? What other thread is the OP referring to?

Well if your post is deleted does it drop your post count?

If a post is deleted, it lowers your count. I've had it happen many times. :3

Send a message to the mod asking why it was deleted. That is a much better way to resolve the issue. Just my 2ยข

I am said genius.
I deleted it as it was not a Development thread, and therefore should have been in Q&A. If you choose to post in the wrong forum, I wil delete the thread. I'm not here to run after you and move your posts.
If you have any further issues, please feel free to PM me.

!?!?!SPAM?!?!?!?! How do we stop it ???

This SPAM crap is got to STOP.........WTF
Pissed
Mike
Agree
I think the best way is to report any spam inmediatly here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306366&page=12
If we all toghether report smpam our dear Mods & Admins will happyly erase it!
but maybe those users are bots which will register here everytime with another username. So a tougher captcha would prevent bots from registering. Or this is someone who dislikes xdadev.
i think an option to mark something as spam would be helpfull...
When a Thread got marked as spam eg 30 times it willl be removed
don't know about this ...

I have a spam attack recently at my forum and synce then I've been using this:
http://www.stopforumspam.com/
It's a web that provides ip, mail and name validation for spamers.
There's an VBulletin plugin available at the VBulletin forum here that interacts with this stopforumspam for automatic online validation during user registration:

I know this is not the best forum to post this... but as this is the one having the problems... I'm just trying to help you keep this awesome forum clean .
Hope this helps solving the problem...

There's got to be some way of stopping it before that spam jerk get's 30 posts in 5 minutes.....come Mod's what do you think ????
It's like having a pop-up blocker...but it blocks SPAM.....We all come a long way here...and I think it's nice...I don't need to see a pop-up spam ad for every device.
We are quite fast as spam killers,

Very true! I don't think there is a problem ridding of the spam, but there is one with it being posted. The one that really gets me mad are the ones that post the same dang thing 4 or 5 times, in new threads, all within minutes!

add S2U to current ROM

i am a noob and went searching for it but no luck. is it even possible? thanks for any assistance.

Yes it is possible to do this. Use the search function and type in S2U2, you will find it. Also the creator has a website just for it. Please next time search before you make new threads. People get annoyed when the answers are right there and someone post a new thread about this.
here is his website: http://ac-s2.com/
Mods please close this thread. Thank you.
didnt i say i searched for it with no luck? im pretty sure i did. i was there, matterfact i was the one who typed it. now, im annoyed. next time YOU read.

I'm glad you are annoyed. If you did the research this problem wouldn't have happened. Obviously you are the one that can't read as per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=378
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.
And don't get pissy with me because I was doing you a favor. I politely showed you where to get the program and told you nicely next time search. Other members of this website wouldn't be so nice answering a question that has been answered so many times before. Oh yea obviously you didn't do enough searching because if you had type "S2U2" on google, you would found this: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=S2U2&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=S2U2&fp=Q9hKAq0-8-0 I'm done ranting.
Moderators please close this thread as per forum rules...

Honestly, no you obviousely didn't search. A simple search at Google for "S2U2 XDA" and the 2nd result would have been it. I have done this multiple times to redl it so I KNOW for a fact from experience!

Some sort of grayware on my phone?

I noticed this notification in my status bar:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
And when I tap on it, it takes me to one of those freeipad websites. I opened up TasKiller to see if there are any apps open that seem unfamiliar, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I also tried googling for it, but found nothing. Does anyone know what this is, or how I would go about finding out what it is?
Thanks.
It honestly sounds like a virus.
Did you install anything recently on your device?

@OP, thanks for using my rom!

Archive Dead/Unsupported/Discontinued ROM

I think it's time for mods/admin to look out old rom like i said in above title, archive it, so that everything sorted again.
Forumers can start list out any known roms that have been discontinued/dead/unsupported.
PM any dev, ask for their developing status is a good start.

What are you talking about?
Each ROM thread in Development has a last released/updated date in the title and the threads are ordered by activity so its very easy to see which are current.
The INDEX thread orders all ROMs by date so its clear?
If you think this forum is messy don't consider getting a device like HOX or GSS3
So true...
yeah, I was so unclear. I dont realize that from this page to this page are all updated and undead.
So sorry.

I think the general point is that if a ROM is 'dead' then it won't get any more posts and will naturally drop backwards. Why go to the effort of archiving them, which then leads to more effort required if somebody does want to use those ROMs?
You just went from page 2 back. That includes many, very current, articles;-
TouchRecovery
TWP
Reaper
GPS Tweaks
Eng HBOOT
Do I really need to go on?
one page back, nothing much outdated. but others? nevermind. Im just trying to sort out outdated, unsupported, maybe non stable/testing rom/etc.
for example, in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639065 . you replied to that thread also.
new comers didn't see this as something I call, in align or sorted out. That's why that guy open up that thread.
and well, forget about this, maybe the seniors influence are higher and what others think for someone like me, meh, im just trying to be like some kind of wanna be mods or wanna be the good guy greg. bleh.
I do appreciate what your saying, but the system that is in place exists across all forums on xda and it exists because it works.
Old threads that are possibly dead still contain valid posts, fixes and even active links which will be picked up if people were ever to use the search function so should always be left.
Sywepd form my DsereiS
I'm not sure that sorting out these ROMs is your job. Or mine. Or, really, anybody else's.
What would be useful would be if genuinely dead ROMs had their title modified to reflect the fact and maybe the links from the OP removed, but that is the sort of thing that should, realistically, be down the the thread creator, not to another person - who is to judge when a ROM is dead?
I work in the EPoS (Electronic Point of Sale) business, and we have an application for wireless order-taking on Android. Unfortunately at the moment (and for the foreseeable future) it is only officially supported on v2.x (no support for v3 or v4). That's just a single example, but here are also many people out there who don't want to run a buggy version of ICS with the wrong kernel - for them the older GB stuff is essential (and they won't all choose to run Reaper or Endy either).
If that sort if stuff was to be archived, we would probably just get even more of the pointless threads than we already do.
well then, forget about this thread.
my bad.

SG4G problems...

Ok guys, I ALREADY searched for roms, but all of them are jokes. None of them are downloadable. My samsung galaxy 4G keeps giving me a force close message every 5 seconds, and I cannot use it. I wish to restore it back to the stock ROM, but when I try to click on a download, it brings me to some "lnx.lu" website so the uploader can make money. THEN it redirects me to some Hollywood advertisement that is totally irrelevant. Where can I get an actual download link for any rom? My phone is currently broken and I am frustrated. Could someone help me? Thanks in advanced.

Im sorry but you cant convince me you searched long and hard. Because there is a development forum full of GB based roms and several ICS flavors all on the first page of the development forum.

Be sure to read and understand the directions. Further more stop being a jackass and people will react in a civil manner. Plus understand not one single person here gets paid to give tech support.
@hyudryu
You should be more respectful. People are tired of helping with such simple requests. If no ROM at Multiupload is available, couldn't you figure out then that it was Multiupload the problem? Also, you checked the Bible, and that's it? There are hundred of threads but you only checked one. Can't you even look at the dates that the ROMs you were trying to get are very old? Search for a ROM, either GB or ICS, is even simpler than reading the Bible. There is a development section and there is a search. You could have just read a few thread topics in development section before making a thread. Also, check out the people helping you here. Look at their signatures. Full of working ROMs. Search and reading are not that hard and since you already know how to do it, then I suggest that next time you search a little further.
