This is a simple and awesome game to bring up our "Thanks Meter!".
Heres how you basically do it on this thread
1. "Thank" everyone who has written on this thread so far
2. Post a comment on the thread so that the next people who view can "thank" you too!
Lets Start!
Nice game!
It should go in off topic but I like it a lot
I love warm cookies with whole milk.
Sounds like a good thread to be apart of
So some moderators are discouraging 'abuse of the thanks system' while others are encouraging it. Gotta love the way XDA-D is consistently inconsistent.
I don't think a few thanks here and there should be a problem but as you said abuse is not good.
Regarding consistently topic Senior Moderators will have the final word on this and we all will respect and support it.
I understand that everyone is quite excited about the recent developments for our phone.
Please I urge everyone to help keep our forum logical and easy for all to access the needed information to take a moment.
Read through what has been posted because it is likely that your question has already been answered.
Take a minute to search as well this saves time and repetitive posts.
Take the time to keep your questions in the threads they should be in so many developers threads are being hijacked because of questions not relating to their projects.
I am not anyone special but I encourage everyone to please try to do some of these things so we can all enjoy the great accomplishments and further development of our phones.

thank you, there are so many ****ing dups right now.
I'm not sure how XDA forums usually operates but I'm a big fan of heavy handed forum moderation.
All the post I have seen have some some variation of "If you like my work, please click on the 'Thanks' button.
However, in the location I frequent most I am unable to find a 'Thanks' button; certainly not in the spot identified as 'right next to the quote'.
I would like to thank the poster, just didn't was the post to say thanks in a technical forum.
Thanks, Richard
Sorry if this a dumb question.
You've already gave out 4 thanks.
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!

[GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA
As some of you may or may not know Hechoen has received a ban from the forums. The ban is his first and is for ten days. The reason for the action was "Disrespectful attitude towards moderator." Some background follows. He was PM'd by a mod to remove his avatar within 48 hours. The mod seemed to think that it could be offensive to some members. His avatar has been around for a long time and was a cartoon of a guy giving the middle finger with the words "Censor this!". As we all know an avatar is an extension of your online personality. To get an idea of whether or not the community found it offensive he posted a question about it in the off-topic thread(that he created). He never named the mod or said anything "disrespectful" towards the mod. Within minutes the post was deleted and he was banned. So I ask any of you that think this action unfair to please respond here. Also feel free to PM a mod(or five) with a link to this thread. If others believe this to be unfair and we unite as a community maybe, just maybe, we'll make a difference.
Sincerely,
Beastmode
To any mods reading this, it would be nice to have a link to the avatar rules for the forums. Thanks.
He has been helping out here as
long as I have been around..always
seems to help where he can..sounds
like they used the avatar thing as an excuse...he has had that avatar as long as I remember... Mods cut him some slack...give him a warning and let it go....

i might be somewhat a noob but hechoen has been on the sgs4g forums way before i joined and new what roms were he plays an importnd role in xda
Don't worry, the mods have heard our petition and hechoen will be unbanned in approximately 9 more days It's a problem with the forum software, we just can't make it unblock anyone faster than that.
wow really he has never been anything but nice to people ..../failpalm
maybe if i added a little neon effect or something, then it might just be a little appropriate? :banghead:
sent from within pure darkness
It is a good thing he was banned

No. Hechoen is a good person. A finger is not offensive, it's what you associate the finger with.

Not that I agree with the ban, but, wasn't he asking to be censored?
I don't know the guy personally but this isn't the first time a mod has abused their powers. Most don't, but then again what can you really do? Hope he's unbanned shortly. And to all the mods not on a power trip, please keep up the fine work we appreciate you.

He's a menace to society! The more he helps people the more they'll keep coming back. It burdens all the devs 'cause people keep asking questions since they know they'll receive an answer.

It's the general principal. He got banned for the reason of portraying a bad image/message to others. Duh

Thread Cleaned
Well, guess what folks?
This thread itself has been reported, and thus cleaned and closed.
XDA is a development forum, off topic discussion is allowed to some extent to afford users to create relationships that strengthen bonds and friendships that will, hopefully, lead towards a stronger development community and thus, possibly better product for the masses.
BUT you need to also understand the following post - some may have read this before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441
That being said - this website, and the threads within, are really for development and the developers. Moderators are merely here to make sure that the aforementioned development, along with the published rules, are being abided by.
Regardless of whether moderators do the popular thing or not, we do what we do with sincere interest for the community as a whole. Users who want to challenge the rules and/or criticize what moderators do and try to incite others in this plight are ones who bring little value to this community. Additionally, and you most should be aware, there are plenty of social media websites available to sign petitions and to express your feelings, XDA is not one of them.
And, to refer to the about linked post by zelendel, no one made you come here. You agreed to be respectful in your posts, to be critical of moderators, who are also members, is also not allowed.
For those of you in here who have posted, good to meet you. I expect you all will try to exercise respect, humanity and dignity from here on out - wherever and whenever you post.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I am not new to XDA, but I am new to the Fire HD section. I have been reading a lot of posts and I have to say the mods/admins are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Especially sd_shadow.
I just wanted to say thanks in general and thanks in advance because I will likely glean so much information from this part of the forum after my HD 10 arrives tomorrow. :good:
Also, please take note that I am not kissing a** here because honestly I am kind of an a**hole. LOL
Kudos to the crew and the members here. :highfive: :good: :good: :good:
This is the general section so I assume it was safe to post this here?
I just wanted to say thanks

Just donate a few bucks to xda
I've donated to devs before and I've also surfed XDA without an ad blocker since opening an account. It's the least I could do. Sometimes reading that someone appreciates you is as good as monetary rewards.
