MOD EDIT-Posts of this nature are not allowed here at XDA. Encouraging the public to flame HTC will only cause problems for XDA and the community as a whole.

This. Also, why the custom fonts and styles? They look horrendous and OP should feel bad.

if you act like an adult it's a far better choice than complaining on Forums or your favorite blog.
put on your big boy pants and write a decent E-mail requesting an unlocked/unsigned bootloader and maybe someone that actually makes the decisions will consider your plea.
@Mod............ I think this thread should be removed urgently
Filling HTC email accounts with pleas from individuals is going to completely p**s off the recipients and do nothing but alienate the decision makers.
We've made ourselves heard via twitter, facebook and xda and HTC have announced a review of the policy. Keep withe the facebook, twitter, etc and give the review a chance.
Please guys do not do this
The first post of this thread has been edited. Publicly encouraging people to flame is something that we at XDA do not endorse. Please do not post threads like this.
SHIELDS UP!
RED ALERT!
Thread closed.
I own a great domain for this topic, but do not want to compete with XDA. I'd like to share the love and members that it may get, it is not a forum, either. How may I go about building this website and let people know about it on XDA, without being considered a spammer or advertising?

Hey XDA!
Me and some other XDA members have been working on a new group for a while, and we want to invite you to join us
You can talk about anything really, but mostly we discuss the S8/S8+, any issues people might have, or just tech in general!
Rules are simple, just don't be rude, you can discuss stuff with people, and you can argue, but keep it civil, and nice.
Off Topic discussion is absolutely allowed, and encouraged, as long as it's not too overwhelming.
If you feel like you'd fit in, or even if you don't, we'd love to have you
Just click this link to join the group:

Anyone here have had issues with the admins in the group banning people for dumb stuff like disagreements. They seem to be power hungry kids who get offended, triggered or angered by the slightest comment. They seem not to handle disagreementvery well. It's like there are a bunch of kids running that group.
Anyone here had a similar experience with the OP8 telegram group?

You are right this the internet now..... Run by triggered people that can't handle disagreements and censor or ban is their run to choice.
I guess the admin also has an account here in XDA.
@Danny1976 - Since you want to drag something that happened on another platform onto this one, I'll reply here as well:
1) As you were told on TG, it's not okay to PM people without requesting it first. You don't like it, that's fine. It's okay to have your opinion. What's not okay is to...
2) Be shown the rules of the group, say they're meaningless, and then...
3) Call people sensitive babies
Lastly, as your own screenshot shows, you were not banned. You were kicked. You can rejoin the group at any time. I kicked you to show you that group policies will be enforced regardless of your opinion. If this is unacceptable to you, I suggest you not rejoin.

I haven't rejoined and don't plan too. I dragged it here to see if anyone else was kicked or banned from the group for a dumb disagreement. Because I couldn't believe that two comment would trigger a person and get kicked out. Maybe you should consider using the kick option more seriously and not as a form of punishment for disagreement.
There is also bullying going on there too and don't want to be part of a group that has that type of behavior.
I didn't say they were meaningless. I was simply pointing out that if it was something in the protocol.... It doesn't change the fact that the rule itself is there for sensitive triggered people. Won't be joining and will stop using any platform that has people with that behavior in charge.
That's obviously up to you. Good luck!
THREAD LOCKED
@Danny1976 Discovered this thread a little late, but may I remind you that XDA is a different platform than Telegram. What happens on Telegram, stays on Telegram; it shouldn't be carried over or discussed here on the forums at all. We don't govern what happens there, so spillover discussions regarding actions that might have been taken there aren't permitted on XDA.
I urge you to keep the Forum Rules in mind before posting going forward.
@docnok63 Please don't engage in off-topic discussions that have nothing to do with XDA. If you find yourself mentioned or in the middle of it, please report and let us take care of it. By replying to such posts, you're only increasing the off-topic clutter here.
Thanks for your time and attention guys! Good day!

By the way, here is a Telegram channel where frequent news updates to various Pixel 7 and 7 Pro ROMs are posted. It does not require a Telegram account to preview it:
Google Pixel 7/7 Pro Updates – Telegram
Google has updated their Terms of Service for Google Play. They're reasonably easy to read and understand, and for once it's not an overwhelmingly large amount to read.

hello, we know it well but alas any rom for our model (except the lineaos) of telephone comes out on telegram and not on xda as usual so how should we do when someone asks if such or such rom and output for the p7p? .we are here on a sharing forum so we have no choice but to share the information.
xda should ask the devs why they don't want to post their rom here anymore.

There is a reason XDA is basically forgotten among the mod community and this arrogant attitude only further supports why all of us now use Telegram.
The redesign of XDA was poorly implemented and to this day the XDA app is almost useless.
However, the real issue is forum moderators like this who seem to be on a power trip and oversee the forums with an iron fist. No one needs this and it only further pushes users away from what used to be a bastion for the modding community as a whole.
I'm very happy with the Telegram community. There are multiple roms already out for Cheetah and Panther with more being worked on as we speak. In fact, most developers migrated to Telegram a long time ago because of nonsense like this. Everyone is helpful and friendly without any arrogance or admins with power trips. The app works perfectly and it's much more user friendly. I suggest that anyone who is interested in the modding community to go to Telegram and drop XDA.
@Starzboy77,

Why do you want to not make public the issues some XDA users have with how these boards are administered? Actually, I think I do know why and it only further supports what I said above and why user sentiment is where it currently is with XDA.

I think you´re wrong in this instance. And completely misunderstood the XDA environment.
If a ROM is posted on XDA, it is somehow related to its relevant forum and the people populating the forum.
If posted on Telegram or Baidu, or any other channel for that matter, it is not relevant to this group.

What kind of logic is this?
The point of the forums is for users to share information with each other regarding the device the forum is dedicated to. Just because devs don't want to post their work on XDA, no matter the reason, doesn't mean their work is not relevant to the discussion.

I prefer how XDA moderates the forums, nearly everywhere else they devolve into random, completely off topic garbage thats its impossible to find solutions and good info. Most groups on Telegram need to be shifted through hundreds of meaningless commentary to find the info needed.
Moderator Announcement
Greetings to all. Just thought I'd drop in to share what XDA is and isn't with regardss to TG links and discussion on XDA since this thread has apparently gone off the rails. But first, the rules that we are all required to follow which are stickied at the top of virtually every forum on XDA:
TG Chat Channel Rules:
Spoiler: TG Chat Rules
WhatsApp/Telegram Groups and Channels - Going Forward
Hello XDA family! Just notifying all members that posting certain links to Telegram and other sites like WhatsApp is now allowed on XDA.
What does that mean?
We will allow links to messages on Telegram and/or other platforms anywhere, as long as they provide content for a discussion, question, or is pertinent news. This is exactly like the guidelines for YouTube links.
What about download links?
Download links from hosts, platforms or other sources are allowed as long as they do not require registration. Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed. Please check them before posting.
What is NOT changing?
Only one link to a Telegram support group is allowed in the first post of a development thread on the condition that main support is still provided on XDA. This means you can mention Telegram group: https://t.me/abc in the first post as long as you're providing thorough support in your XDA thread.
What is NOT allowed?
Posts like For support, join my Telegram group: https://t.me/abc. This means you're not willing to provide support to users on XDA.
Drop-and-run posts/threads are still not allowed under the self-promotion rule. So posts/threads like "Come to my channel for xyz" or "Watch my video and like my channel" are still not allowed. Such links will be removed and the member will be contacted regarding XDA Forum Rule #5 for self-promotion (under bullet point #6):
Self-promotion is forbidden, this includes blogs, social media and video channels etc. Random links will be removed.

We thank all members for their cooperation in this matter, and wish you a pleasant stay on XDA.
Regards,
Your XDA Moderating Team
While I realize that many members like TG for it's real time capability, simply posting TG links that "require" XDA users to register for TG is not acceptable.
If you wish to post DL links to TG that do not require registration, then that is fine. All we're asking is for members to keep as much discussion as possible on XDA since that is why most of us are here for in the first place.
We also realize that TG may in fact be the future of android development since there are virtually no rules to govern such discussions, which of course appeals to many. Having said that,
consider this, would you have even known about those groups in the first place if someone didn't share it first on XDA?
I also understand that many members do not enjoy what some may interpret certain Moderator actions as "Power tripping" or "Iron Fisted." This is often a misunderstanding as to what the Mods on XDA are tasked with doing in the first place, which is simply to make sure that the rules are followed, and that's it. Are we going to make mistakes? Absolutly we will, as will members that wish to dispute our actions, which is why we we prefer to take such disagreements to PM's in order to prevent threads from going OT as this one did. Which is why respect, cooperation, and understanding is a two way street with regards to all the rules on XDA.
Going forward, all we're asking is for members to respect and follow the Forum Rules whether you agree with them or not as I must do as well. If anyone wishes to discuss
the rules with me, or any Moderator actions in a polite and civil manner, them my PM inbox is always open. In the mean time, please let us return to "On topic" discussion of this thread,
and hope everyone has a great day.
Best regards: Badger50
I know I'm slightly late and that my esteemed teammate @Badger50 already cleaned this thread but I assessed that all the posts with a content like "PM me the Telegram link" are off-topic in a thread that intends to share information about ROM availability. I've removed such posts.

Although @Starzboy77 propagates that all "interested in the modding community" to leave XDA behind, I see that he's still available on XDA and didn't go ahead as a good example. I can only speculate about the reasons. @Starzboy77 here's the link to conformably obliterate all your traces on XDA:

On the other hand, if you decide to stay (something I'd really appreciate) I must ask you to review the XDA Forum Rules prior to your next posting and to determine if you really want to continue to post off-topic e.g. in this threads. If you like to rant or complain about the XDA Forums here is a complete forum, in which you certainly either find an already suitable thread or that allows you to post your own one:

Alternatively, as you seem to be very unhappy "with how these boards are administered" I invite you to initiate the in your views required changes from inside of the XDA staff and to apply as a forum moderator when you've reached the required 500 forum posts but I know this would mean you can't drop XDA:

On a somewhat related note, I wanted to inform everyone here who cares about root and passing safetynet that you cannot choose Graphene OS, or else you will always be failing hardware attestation even with safetynet-fix and magiskhideprops. Also, LSPosed will not work on Graphene OS, no matter what. I personally found CalyxOS to be almost suitable, but not quite, for the sole reason that I could not log into Pokémon GO with my Google account, which is a necessity for me. I've been happily on the unofficial LineageOS with MindTheGapps and have had zero issues for my personal needs (spoofing pogo location, and normal root stuff).

I agree with everything said here. as a Dev of going on a decade. i hate telegram. but it seemed like its where everyone went and then i just forget about XDA . I think telegram is a sespool. XDA has legitemcy to it as well. its not the mods its the users that pushed away a lot of devs. they don't read anything we go through the trouble of writing up like changelogs or directions or how to take a log or they argue with us about something they know nothing about and it gets really frustrating and we get less motivated to come back and deal with that bs. thats why. so its U GUYS not the mods. if there were no mods this forum would be full of porn and neo nazi memes ... get real people.. on that note. god damnit who leaked my spark build . oh well , cats out of the bag now.. i'll make a post in a bit....
