WAREZ Thread open for Discussion.

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??

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

Xda is here to help and support developers, how publishing a guide on how to steal the developers hard work supporting developers?
It is against XDA rules read them and you would have gotten your answer

ok got it man
btw i'm a developer myself and i hack others work for leisure time
btw2 hacking helps developers finding weak points in their apps
btw3 hacking is not about stealing others work, otherwise it could've been easier for me to post cracked apps on warez sites and get credit for it..

Sure but why not work with the developers, talk about there weak points and not let a large user base steal there work....

because one developer once put a text file inside his published apk saying "hello hackers"
he will regret this forever
no seriuously hacking uses known (or new) exploits for any given platform, so pointing it out will help bring that platform better (except for windows because microsoft )

One way or another its against XDA rules
"6. Do not post warez.

I suppose that we should be grateful you asked beforehand, however had you read the forum rules or even used a little common sense you could have answered your own question.
Warez is not tolerated here at XDA developer and neither is discussion of it.

Yes, we are a Developer site, Developers often earn their living by selling their Apps. So asking to get paid Apps for free is no different from saying "Can you tell me how to steal something from that shop".

Well even doing that is breaking the rules. Here is our rule:

King of Avalon android game

Okay, so, basically im tired of these games where chinese players are clearly hacking, (unless theyre actually spending $20k a month), to win the games, while me and friends dish out over $200/wk on games like this. Its ridiculous. I can send all tje screenshots i want to in-game support staff to prove cheating, but the dont do anything. Half the time not even reoly. So, im coming to the best place i know, filled with the best developers on earth, the XDA forums. (Was that enough buttering up? I can keep going lol).
So anyways, ive looked into an app called "APK Editor" (not pro version because ive heard its the same as free), and im hoping there is a way to hack the gake with it. I mean i can easily enough do the simple things like edit images, sounds, songs, etc etc... but finding it difficult to find where i might be able to change in game values, or bypass google play services to give me those gold packs for free.
Overall im just tired of throwing money into a game where chinese hackers have found ways to cheat and win every time. Any help would be great. Thanks

Apologies for any typos above, was rushing.

Still pretty new here, dont know if bumping posts is acceptable. But heres a bump.

Please re-read the rules you accepted while registering for this website. This thread is breaching them.

7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
The buying, selling, trading and / or exchanging of any item is now prohibited on XDA, in any forum or via Private Messages. We now use www.swappa.com
You can add updates to your thread (ie new features for an app., etc), BUT only update if you are posting relevant to the topic and NOT with the sole purpose of getting the thread to the top of the page (known as "bumping") otherwise it will be considered as spam.
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

Therefore, this thread got closed.

Hope this is the right place to ask this!

In wondering if there is someway an android phone could delete certain pictures that I choose that I want to be deleted after a certain date? Or maybe if it could just delete all photos after a certain date provided? Hope this makes sense. Trying to gain custody of my kid but my wife has me by the balls. Around harvest time (marijuana) she likes to get ****ed up on pills. I've grown tired of it and shee knows that if I go to court she will "blackmail" me by showing the police my harvest, before I can hide this. I want to wait until after the drying process before I go through the court system to gain custody of my son. But the problem is is she has photos of my harvest on her phone and I need them gone. I have access to her phone. I really appreciate the help..
