Hi Guys, after a CM Development thread has been temporarily closed, Varun have make it clear in XL Community Group on Facebook about the situation. I'm pasting in here just in case some off us doesn't use Facebook or not in the group.
Wow, the spam in the official development thread got it locked. Community is going to shut down the doors to development on their own. Remember this is official FXP thread, this happens again, we will remove the support from FXP, ultimately making me abandon this device from my end too.

Guys, if yee want to have development still going for us, you should think before you POST!
Think 10 times if a post is going to be posted in correct thread.
I don't post a lot but this is really serious thing and hope many of you will learn where to post.
REMEMBER! QUESTIONS GOES TO Q&A THREAD NOT DEVELOPMENT THREAD!

Please post the link to this group, I also want to join, can't find it on FB
Thanks in advance.
Very good step.
Maybe now people learn a little respect for rules and hard work FXP and Varun. Its shameful when we have to report thread from our community because people does not understand for what we have a special Q&A thread
Honestly, I have not seen a more careless community at xda before. I suppose this warning would be taken seriously and well acted upon!
How hard is it to go to Q/A Section and click on CM 11 ? Two or three clicks ?
I think we can all learn from it and take it as a lesson in future for all our posts!
would be sad to see the end supports for this reason
It looks like again... Some people spam the thread.
This is going to end very quickly
We've waited nearly a year for a proper CM and now because of few people this is going to the end.
Varun hasn't said anything yet, I hope he'll still continue his CM project for us.
Everything going to be bad
Moderators....please please please
Any body spamming on official fxp thread
Simply close his membership
Please send attention to all members
And close spammers membership
This is best solution to save Xperia L development future

You have deleted two posts i posted today, why ??????????????

The second one which i really dont understand was relating to the Alpha Rev team that made the achievement of unlocking the desire S via a software they released

It's not hard at all. Questions belong in the general section, development belongs in the dev section. Before making a new thread, spend a few minutes researching the question you have. If you can't find an answer AFTER searching, then make a new thread, in the CORRECT section.
99 out of 100 times I can find the answer to any question via Google. Hell, I even learned how the birds and the bees work thanks to Google. Jk.
WorldWide 60's answer was helpful and respectful but smx11's was a complete fail. What a poor sense of community this person has!

Radlouni I can understand frustration when you do not understand why you are being treated a certain way. Your last post of personal attacks is just uncalled for as was the post you were responding to. In the future I suggest that you PM the Mod that you have an issue with. This thread is not productive and not in the spirit of what XDA is all about which is advancing in mobile technology. I am closing this thread if you or anyone else has an issue with this please PM me directly.

Like everyone else says. Your threads where deleted because
A-Bounties are not allowed, I have already stated this multiple times and posted that any new threads about such things would be deleted.
and
B-Again, there was already a thread posted about the Desire S being unlocked so yours was redundant.

I hope admin, can reduction this problem...cause, much member like me want to reply the thread but he can't....
anyway...thanks before for any respon....
This is exactly why there is 10 minimum useful posts rule.
Sent using my jelly monster
yes i also want to ask question on development forum.
Because of selfish people posting stuff like: "yo, I didnt read the guide or the faq lol so plz post a one-click exe so dat i can install the hackz0rz on my phone thx."
Personally, I don't think this 10 post limit is that effective. However, it might deter the worst offenders...
XDA has rules like this in place for a reason and if you don't like them, it's tough really. The rules won't simply change because a few people moan about them.
So you want to post in the development forums? Either it's going to be a question which belongs in Q&A, you saying "Thanks" for a ROM, or being genuine and reporting an issue with a certain ROM etc.
Now, if it belongs in Q&A, keep it in Q&A. If you just want to say 'thanks', there's a button for that. And if you want to report a problem, bug etc. then either the dev already knows about it because of someone else reporting it, OR it's something that can wait until you've made 10 helpful posts. (If it was something too major, the dev would already know about it)
Is it really so hard for you to make 10 constructive posts? The answer to that is no.
The best way to do that is to answer other people's problems and queries in the General and Q&A forums for your device. Now that's really not hard to do.
And, on a final note, as you'll notice here, if you stay around for long enough and help others out, it's only the people who have around 10 posts who moan about the rule. People who have passed this restriction don't keep *****ing about it or anything like that. They simply say, while it may not have been ideal, we'll do as instructed and stick to the rules so we can truly enjoy our time as part of this vibrant community.

What he said, the rules are in place to stop normal users posting no dev stuff in the development section.
this is a rule, follow the rules and try to help.... and read a lot! learn a lot! and then help a lot!
I have often solutions for some problems, but i can't post in development. It's stupid (10 posts)
You can do another restrictions for spammers etc.

If the rule was considered "stupid" then it wouldn't be in place. It's in place in an attempt to cut down on the spam and useless crap which goes into the development forums. There's no 100% way of stopping spam but at least this aides the solution.

People still post ALOT that shouldnt be in the dev, but this is one way to slow it down
To many people post questions in the dev forum and so it had to be done
I think it's a good idea... personally i entered here to find answers to some questions about my phone (a Huawei U8180), but every single question that i had has already been answered... and i don't flood a thread with my silly questions... so... i think this method is good.

Let's be honest, making ten posts really isn't hard.
Unfortunately a lot of people seem to get their ten posts by complaining that they have to get ten posts in the first place.

All your posts up to now are useless, and doesn't contribute to the forums at all. Mostly just a few words answering the, what is your first phone, forum or something like that.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
First of all, wrong section for this type of topic. Secondly, this rule is in place for a number of good reasons and likely will remain, so complaining isn't go to get anyone anywhere. Finally, cheap attempts to increase one's post count beyond 10 (ie. spam) will result in those posts being deleted and a warning being issued. Thread closed.
Would there be any way to have a special membership level in the forum privileges that allows posting in the dev forums, this would force people I.E. general users with questions to read and discover the Q&A forums. To get said privileges someone should simply have to request and agree not to break those rules. Good idea?

No. Bad idea.
The Dev forums should be locked to anyone who doesn't have special status on XDA (e.g. Devs, RCs, RTs etc). For a 'normal' user to be able to post in the Dev forum they should have to be invited and approved by the Devs - and that right could be rescinded at any time.
That would have the secondary benefit of stopping the people who continually post useless cr4p just to get their post count up to 10

I agree... To a point, the problem is to get RD ir RC you have to post guides or dev work... Which normally should go in the development section.

Umm, if you would propose that everyone who doesnt post in the correct section should be banned, then OP, you are kinda

Well, for RC, you don't *necessarily* need to create threads, and that too, in the dev section...
Afaik, guides belong to the general section, but there are also accepted in the dev section if it is directly related to development, or is there to prevent non-dev posts in dev area...

Yeah I can appreciate your sentiment but it's not a workable solution. Honestly I don't even think there's a problem, the mods are on their game and the 10 post rule helped weed out some people.

Actually, there must be something to keep them out of OT too, as n00bs come there frequently to increase their post count. I told two of them off today and I got ripped off for being a "party pooper". Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother.

I just think if its important enough to keep the dev posts clean that they will lock them and then we get all the posts *****ing about misposts (worse then the mispost itself) then why not try something a little more locked down... why would a user like myself need access to post in a dev forum for?

If you had frequent SODs you could up a logcat, it's very basic stuff and could potentially help the dev out.
Good ideas are always good, and i frequent the HD2 and Galaxy Nexus forums quite a bit, 2 of the busier dev forums, and don't really see problems with this.

hey guys..
did i miss anything? how come all the threads by dragunkorr for our sensations have been removed?
really bummed out by this as i used every one of his releases since v2..
He was banned for reasons unknown, but don't question it. The powers that be know best.
not questioning nothing.. just curious...
I know that there were a handful of other developers who accused him of kanging. What all that entailed and why that is problematic in the first place, is a bit of an oxymoron considering AOSP and AOKP are open source and where just by the name itself encourages those type of actions. Personally, I think it has alot to do with egos and pride, but that is just m2c. He is still developing, but I cannot disclose where that is at actually, at least not over xda here.
Regards.
Edit: Hit me with a pm if you like his work and still want to follow his development and I will share with you where he is at.
Closed threads
What's wrong with you XDA? You said that threads will stay open - now they are all closed...
Whiskey103 said:
Guys/Gals
Dragunkorr has been banned because he was breaking xda rules on several occasions.
We decided to keep his threads open because we do realise his work is popular.
This will give you the possibility to at least give user2user support in here.
Please do not discuss the ban or the reasons behind it.
Just use this thread for support as intended.
So consider this a final say on the matter in hand.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Hey DEVELOPERS can you fix all the bugs in cyanogenmod 11 for gt-i9500
sure.. can you please stfu and stop creating new threads.. period!
Yeah. They were just waiting for you to ask. There'll be a totally bug free build in an hour now.
I don't think this is going to solve anything, OP.
Instead, when you come across a bug in the ROM, take a logcat and alter the developer in the ROM thread - it'll be more productive than creating a shoutout thread
looks like the op is new here and is quite excited on seeing the cm11 news , no harm intended

hey OP only create sensible threads. you could have asked the same idiotic question in CyanogenMod 11 Discussion by runedrune
