Just wondering, why were my other threads deleted?? - General Topics

When i go to look into other threads where i had asked for help, i can still view them, but they all show as thread deleted, even though the issue hasnt been totally resolved yet...
why is that??
the past 4 or 5 things i was quoted on, the actual threads were deleted..... not moved but deleted, as far as i can see....
ETA: unless the forum functions in some new way now, this one i just posted right now, the first button says "thread deleted"...

Hi! I see no threads deleted of yours...?
Do you mean other people's threads are deleted? Any links I can check?
:good:
A screen shot too maybe?

where are all the mods right now... new members should have to go thru tutorials and pass some sort of test before being allowed membership... It seems like this kaiser rom development forum is the new general discussion
Beside the wallpaper can't change, I can use the pone as usual. Thanks

Mods have a life and are volunteers, and as such just can't police the forum constantly. I would recommend that you don't browse the forum on the weekend if you don't want to see so many noob posts. Seems like they come out in force on the weekends, and usually the mods are off trying to have a weekend. These things have been said 1000 times before. It is frustrating, i know that of course, but these posts really have little value. If you don't have anything to actually contribute through the posts then it's best if we just don't say anything.
@ OP
Questions like this should be posted in an preexisting thread, either the rom you are using, or wherever you got your themes from, there could even be a thread on the topic already...i have not looked, but doing so helps to reduce the clutter. Plus it's a forum rule.

[SUGESTION]Separate Themes from Apps. This section of the forum is just messy!

Why are themes mixed with applications? It's a mess...
Why can't there be one section for themes and other for applications?
I won't say it a mess but Yes, that would be better...
Agreed. There is too much stuff going on with HD2 now, and the biggest problem is the new things fall back and many of the users even don't see the new posts.
I agree.
I´ve been here since Kaiser forum was the "hottest" thing on XDA, but even that is nothing in comparison of the "hottness" of Leo's forum.
Sometimes good things almost get lost with all those topics popping out during the day.
So far, i thank RSS, but separated Apps and Themes fora would be nice.
+1 too Apps & Themes should be separated for easier view or search.
I think thats a great idea
People will still ignore the forum titles and start threads where they want to.
Take this one, for example. It should not be in the themes and apps forum of the HD2 as it has diddly-squat to do with either the HD2, themes or apps.
There is a forum for this type of conversation.
Like I said - people will post where they want. You'll just get used to it.
Saying that, you could then have a forum just for tweaks...
The idea is good.... But Johncmolineux is right, it will change nothing....
Xda is like Ali Baba's cave... It's a big mess, but a mess I finally like. At the end I always find what I'm looking for.

I've tried to find a place to post this and did not succeed. And if this is about this section, it's not that wrong to be here. But I've posted here not because I simple want but because I did not find a suggestions section. An Apps and a Thread sections inside the HD2 section of XDA will be very easy to find.
By that way of thinking we should not have 4 HD2 sections, we should only have one... since people make mistakes in where to post...

That's ridiculously easy to find. You just look.

Yeah, I've seen that. But wasn't sure if it was for suggestions about the forum. And then, if I post there probably most of the users of the HD2 sections will not see it.

Surely you're making a suggestion about the site, not the HD2, which is why you should post it in a forum that is for the site. That's all.
There's actually a thread in that forum for suggestions for the mods. That's the best place to ask a question that relates to the site.

I disagree, John.
Of course you're correct in as much as SOME people (particularly people new to the site) will always start threads where they want to. But I would say that MOST people (particularly experienced posters) stick to the rules regarding posting new threads in the correct section and those who don't quickly have the errors of their ways pointed out to them!
I also disagree that this particular thread is 'out on place' in the Themes and Apps section. The OP wanted to gauge feeling amongst current users of this section as to his suggestion of splitting the section into two. Who's going to see it if it's hidden away somewhere else on the forum?
Just my thoughts... No criticism of others' opinion meant...
Btw... I would also be in favour of a split.
I would like to see this happen too, but im sure it would be hassell for anybody that needs to get it uptodate/tidy!

Yes it would need some hard work... But we could keep this actual sections as the themes section for example, and then the users would report the threads that needed to be moved, that way the moderators won't need to be checking all threads...
What about having actual MODERATORS on this forum??? Cause all those topics that are made dubble and dubble each and every single day are driving everybody crazy I know that for sure!! I scroll down through one page on the forum in 1 minut cause of all the same things I am reading over and over again!
Why isn't the policy here actually being applied??? Why aren't the moderators HARSHER?? (if there are moderators cause I only have seen one here on the Leo's forums).....
I am sure 90% of the people here think like me, especialy when there ar epeople who only register to this forum to make a topic and ask a question and don't bother to search and when they got their answer never bother to look on tthis forum again.......
Really, the policy should be looked after and there should be at leaste 5 times more moderators than there are now!!!
We are missing the important threads through all the b*ll**** and sorry to say this but some people don't have time to spend hours a day on this forum! We have to work/study, I am sure many agree with me!

Anyone seen the Engadget article about Froyo being released for Nexus1?

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/...85-hitting-atandt-nexus-one-owners-ota-right/
So, um, okay.
This should not be in the development section
and it has been posted several times already.
My bad then, MODs please remove this thread.
search button ftw !
Ok but what was the point of asking this, honestly

Disregard.....delete

Disregard this thread......I know mods can still read what is posted even after its deleated....
And this post was meant for mods....and I know that if they are cleaning threads than they don't have the time and wants to just contact someone over it....especially when its not something worthy of pm'ing without a violation.
This message was really meant for mods not for others .....just didnt know how to go about it without singling one out.
Nor did I know which one to talk to....still don't and don't need to...
So to put an end to it....I ask for it to be deleted
I tend to agree. Ive seen posts just disappear, and not just trash talking posts. There was a post that offered help to a poster but also told off another and the entire post was deleted. I was going to refer somebody to it and couldnt find it finally figured out I wasnt going nuts and that a mod deleted the entire post.
I honestly think that we should stop replying to this thread, because in one spark, this can turn into a flame war.
Anything can turn into a flame war, doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it.

I believe our new mod erases any unnecessary or off topic posts. Sometimes, i think, without being reported but to just keep the thread clean.

Weird...

2 messages i send to moderators , missing
10 posts i posted deleted..
whats next? close my account???
The 10 posts missing could be two things
1. Somtimes the system updates and posts gomissing for a short while, but come back.
2. The manner of your ten posts, if you simply went onto a thread and said somthing like "thanks for this usefull thread", then this is seen a spamming to get upto your first ten posts, and Mods will remove these types of posts.
As for your two pm's going missing, unless you clicked save to send folder before you sent the pm's then they will not show up in your send folder.
I hope this has cleared up a few of the issues you are having.

Well , i understand that this is a very big forum , and must have rulles to function , but how can i post usefull thinks in general? believe me i tried.
General is general. i dont know about roms , i m not interested about hacking , i m a developer . i m interested in developing apps. Thats it.
One good way in which to reach your 10 posts, is go to all the Q&A forums and look to see if you know the answer to other members problems and before you know it you will have your 10 posts. Also if you go to about XDA forum their is a thread their call How to be a new user, their are some tips their on how to get your first 10 posts.

Or maybe hang around on the off topic forum for some games!
Ok.. some of my posts yesterday.
[Discussion] What's your next smartphone [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]
My answer delleted.
[DISCUSSION] What's the first phone you've ever owned? [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]
My answer delleted.
and other 8
Is this normal??
You would need to contact a S-Mod via PM and ask have your posts been removed or is their tenical issue, reason, for them going missing.
You also need to be aware that many people join this forum claiming to be "interested in developing for Android", and all they ever do is post questions in the Dev forums which don't belong there. The Dev forum is not the right place to ask questions about how to develop apps and things.
If you use the search function, you will find there are guides on XDA for the basics in Android development which you should read and then start learning.

Do you really want the dev threads full of people who played the ban game 10 times to get in there and who made no efforts to actually help someone first just to post "Thanks for a great ROM" or something similarly insightful?

Any way i dont know whats happening , maybe a technical issue
But even if some of my 10 posts are against the forum rulles ( I didn't do it on purpose) why deleting all my posts?

Depends on the mod and their mood, some of them will just remove a few posts to try to make people understand that they are not following the rules, some of them may simply wipe the slate clean since it is faster and easier than picking through what may appear to be non-contributory posts to leave a couple of adequate posts. Also as s.d.oconnor stated, unless you checked the box to save your PM's in Sent Items they will not be saved automatically. Mods don't delete PMs.

The 10 post rule was put in place to make new users think, and hopefully contribute and help others by making useful posts rather than the usual crap like "thanks", "kewl" etc or ask questions which have been asked countless times before. They still have access to dev forums, just cannot post in them. Its not a massive restriction and to provide 10 useful/helpful posts is not hard.

It does sound like a Tec issue or a bit of both, but i would recomend waiting 24 hrs and see if soem or all of your missing posts reapear, and if not then you contact a S-Mod, and explain what has happend, they would then be able to tell you if your posts were removed and why or if it's a Tec issue they would pass the infomation onto an admin.
Any way , thank you all for your answers , i ve allready sended 2 PMs , maybe a technical issue , i ll wait for an answer from the mods.
10 post rule has to be rethought
Hi,
this rule for 10 posts is not very good.
how should i post, for example a patched version of rom when i cannot write in the dev. board ?
please dont get me wrong, but in my eyes this is not helpful.

Au contraire....the rule for 10 posts is very good, when compared to the alternatives. Threads full of spam posts selling whatever junk of the week? 1000's of "Thanks for a great ROM" posts to wade through to find a reply to a question asked a few hours before...not much better. Teenagers using every thread for chit-chat. If you prefer an Android site like that I can assure you there are many out there. Funny thing though, all of them seem to link back to content here....after you get past the gauntlet above.
