Really smart move from the mods in xda, to remove the most active and helpful dev for the mt4gs forum, just for past personal issues... I didnt get along good with him, but he was very helpful, always participated and with his contributions encouraged more devs to work for the mt4gs.
Once again, not very smart mods... Forums are meant to be open, not restricted, as long as its regarding the topic of the forum, and that's all he did.
I might get banned and/or this post deleted, but i just had to give my opinion. Boop.

really lame XDA. I will change this if a mod will explain why this happened. What's the address of rootzwiki??
the_scotsman briefly explained it already. He was banned previously because he caused a lot of problems. Then he got around the ban by making a new account (which is against the rules) so he got banned again. Or at least that's what I understood from it.
From what I noticed is he was soooo arrogant and rude. He was always quick to jump on a noob for posting something wrong but as soon as you said something about one of his ROMs he would get pissy with you. Good riddance.

That is true but he was getting better about that stuff.
Yes its true he was rude, but nevertheless he would help you out, not like other devs wich you might get lucky if they respond a question of yours. On top of that, he was the only one truely dedicated to the doubleshot. Others dev for us on their free time. Yes he is in rootzwiki and now so am I, but i really liked the simplicity in this forum... Oh well...

Have you ever had to do something you didn't want to because it was your job? Let's face it, the mods don't ban people for topics list this, they allow you to express opinions, etc. But if they allow everyone the leniency you are asking for, this entire forum would be a mess. There are few things that actually get you banned, and undead violated a few of them, several times. It sucks big big balls for us, but look at the big picture before calling out the admins. Overall, this entire forum is a better place because of what they do, positive or not.

This is a knee-jerk fear based response from the clowns in charge here. It happens in a lot of places. There are TWO kinds of rude people -- stupid rude, and brilliant rude. Brilliant+nice practically doesn't exist on this planet. It is because there is a natural friction between intellect and ignorance. Neither can see from each other's perspective because their perspectives are so absolutely foreign to each other. It ends in a great deal of frustration between the two groups, which ultimately comes out as RUDENESS.
In both directions.
Now fact of the matter is that if you ban everyone who is RUDE, you ban everyone you actually need in order for this system to work to begin with. You can have developers who are rude mixed in with users who are not nearly as knowledgeable, or you can ban everyone with knowledge and intelligence and have a bunch of whiny users, among whom there is not a single one with the ability to actually push the PURPOSE of the forum to being with.
Two choices: Either accept a bit of rudeness and condescension, OR, shoot yourself in the head. Can't have it both ways.

He's still developing, he's just at RootzWiki...
He kanged a few roms without permission as teamjokerface name. That was one of the biggest things plagurisim I suppose.
My thing is he leanred from his mistake and improved his ethics. The fact that he made a new name and improved himself should be an awsome acheivement nota ban.

Basically this is correct.
If any of you recall TeamPokerFace, we banned him many months ago for several reasons, including a lot of epic kanging and being a read idiot.
Undeak=TeamPokerFace
Creating a new account just to get around a ban is something we never have and never will allow, regardless if they have "changed" or not.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about...it has NOTHING to do with anyone being rude...so please refrain from making stupid assumptions about us
And now that you have the reason, there's no longer a need for this thread to remain open.
I can't stand to read this site these days. Everytime there's a post some self important ass has to jump and tell the person posting just how stupid they are for making the post. If you xda experts don't want to the rest if us here then lock it down. It would be no great loss. There's nothing here that can't be found in 100 other places.
For some reason this site seems to encourage rude moderators that love to trash people especially if someone failed to find existing threads using the terrible search tools provided. Maybe xda just can't carry the weight created by its success. One thing is sure and that is if it doesn't change a lot of people with go elsewhere....

Just take it with a grain of salt man...there are douches everywhere but I mean without the developers we wouldn't we able to accomplish much, if anything. And most of the other forums I've seen directly get their info or sources from XDA. Its ok, hug time?
Thanks for the hug... It's not about me I can hold my own and enjoy giving it back. What bothers me is when someone clearly struggling to post and is asking for hlep (And English may not even be their language) then one of these dicks trashes them. I just looked at one where a guy asked how to find a specific item, he got an answer that said check the xxxxx forum and we are not your slave so don't expect us to do it for you. Who talks like that and why aren't they stomped on for acting that way. He gave an answer then added the boot. I see that everywhere here.
The people who respond here do it for their own reasons. It's nice when people help and I have found some helpful threads. Still when I see stuff like the one above I start to think there are people here who get off on acting that way. Being a developer doesn't mean doing sick stuff is OK.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Yeah I agree but I mean some people are gonna be douches regardless of the question asked. I'm also inclined to think there are more decent people on XDA that like helping people as opposed to bashing them so even if the douche answers first, doesnt mean he represents XDA...
and this is why people lurk...
...or ... why i have lurked for so long
but now i just dont care...
so.... here goes nothing
There should be a Douche button, just like a Thanks button.

While I don't agree with people being rude please understand that this is a developers site. Not a tech support site, not a rom flashing site, and not a cool place to be site. It was made by developers for developers. And sometimes people can get rude. That is what the report button is for.
I like this site, and the way I see it,
They are sick of repeat posts, it's like people aren't bothering even looking anymore for what they need, they just post... As I have made that mistake a few times... That said i my self use the Site for my personal use or for the work I do but I ALWAYS give credit where it counts and is a great site for this Canadian to learn the ways of the DROID...
Also i mean maybe some devs like to poke fun, maybe they are tired of people taking time away from thier great works... Who knows, I talk to, a few decent people on here and have learnt alot and intended on learning more when my desktop is back up and running...

i agree, xda really needs a douchee button. im also new here, but i been using the forums for a while, just rencently registered and i have gotten all the info i need, so basicly yes, the douches are somewhat right, but they should just say it a little more politely
I just saying that there is no excuse for treating posters badly. I've been a registered user for more than a year but I find myself coming here less and less because I can find as good or better info on other sites and most don't have the xda attitude.
I want to be clear that most people don't act this way and that plenty of nice helpful people respond here every day. The point I'm making is that there are a few that need to be cleaned up. I hadn't thought of the report button but in the future I will use it freely. Maybe that will get the attention of the powers that be.
It would be interesting to start a thread on the xda **** of the day. People could cut and paste insulting behavior into the thread including the name of the poster. Every day/week members could vote. I bet it would dry up fast....:thumbup:

Really, Really???
Makes me laugh when people chant that mantra of "this is a developers site. Not a tech support site, not a rom flashing site......". maybe when the site was made 5,6 years ago it was a developers site. But things grow and evolve as is in the human nature. XDA has evolved into more than just a Dev site, its a site for development, education and learning.
It amuses me when people try to alienate the devs from the users. Don't give excuses for rude or egotistical people, if someone is in doubt, use your knowledge to help him or shut up. afterall, the great devs of today all learnt from scratch. Nobody was born with code in their brain from the womb (except chuck norris ). Because the way this site is going its going to drive users away from its fold.
And when you succeed in alienating the noobs, and xda becomes a dev-only site, who will test the bugs in the developers' software? how will developed apps get publicity? I know some devs who've made alot of money from donations for their software; heck, this site's servers are supported by donations from users.
XDA is a leader in development and mobile collaboration and we've seen the amount of clout and influence XDA has, the mobile companies HTC,Samsung, motorola all hear the voice of XDA (as evidenced by htc's bootloader unlocking, htc dev, making motorola answer for locking bootloaders) but dont think that XDA will have such influence if all of the over 4 million users are gone and like 1000 developers ( if they are even that many) remain.
Also I'm not excusing some very stupid people who ask the wrong questions, and don't follow rules.for example, I only registered here last year but I've followed this site for 3 years. If I had a problem, I also come here to search and I always got my answer. I only had to register when I got the lenovo thinkpad, which didn't have any active development forum so I could post a question. So I guess I'm one of those who likes to search before posting.
The summary of everything I just said is help people who are truly in need of it, (not the silly ones) and XDA isn't a dev only site.

Well I disagree on this one point, if they don't take the time to try and look it up and find it on their own it does give you the right to be a little rude, because that's pretty rude of them, expecting you to take time out of your day to give them an answer when they don't take any of their own time to even try..but, of course, I'm not in favor of going crazy on them..just enough let them know that's unacceptable
I don't like rude people too, and I met quite a few here...
I do am agree thus, that newcomers should look VERY well into the proper thread and all over XDA site.
I like to help when I can and if I can, but I have seen more and more often people asking simple questions like:
"someone can show me some guide?" or " does an xperia thread exist?"
Well don't need help really for this question, is just enough to search..
I guess developers or user generally can get tired of this.
However I am agree that some users normally answer by jokes or in a rude way, although people like this could be everywhere..
Sometimes you have to be rude to let people know they should google first before they post a question

I think most users dont consider themselves entitled or expect any helpful posts in regards to their questions, I'm sure they're just hoping someone can point them into the right direction. I've searched and gathered everything I needed to know myself but its not like I ever expected another user to help me. I figure if users want to help other users, awesome, but don't give attitude when doing so.

I've been a member of xda-dev since 2006 but have made only a few posts.
I'm interested in becoming more active and contributing as a developer, but I have some pretty strict posting restrictions because I'm a "new" user. (Post timing, edit timing, no links, etc)
Would it be possible to have these restrictions removed based on that fact that I've been a member for 6 years without incident?
Thanks,

i don't think time on this board has to do with anything. you've been a member for 6 years yet only have 4 counted posts, which means you probably havent contributed much[not dissing you] to have the initial restrictions lifted

I caught that too. But I'm the noob, so maybe I'm counting posts wrong. But if I have to post over 300 posts to lift my "10 post" restriction, I'll never be able to post in the non-general forums.
Yeah, I also find the restrictions a little annoying. I've been working with Android for a few years, but I never joined up here. Now that I have, I can't be seen as a developer until I've made a certain amount of posts. Not the end of the world, but still not a very good idea considering that anyone can easily get around this.
Agreed.

Not that I fall into this category or anything, but what is the post count to post as a developer?
This is the first forum I've been on with these kinds of restrictions. I find it odd.
The post count restriction is for those users that only join to spam the development threads with "MY CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?!!?!!!!!1"
If you want the restrictions lifted, just follow a thread and join the conversation.

I hope that you understand a bit clearer now. I, personally, don't think the 10 post limit is enough. I don't believe any XDA member should be able to post into the dev threads unless they have been approved by at least one dev - based on previous posts, helping other users and general attitude.

Btw update - anyone wants my DS pm me, flex cable is failed and currently I have disassembled it while grounded and yes I'm tech savvy enough to not fry components. Idk how much to ask but make an offer lol.

Maybe XDA has a personal issue with phones with QWERTY keyboards.
We encountered this issue on my previous qwerty device also and believe me we almost got top 2 on the voting thread for new devices yet till now it still don't have any forum of its own. I already asked and the reason why it didn't get its own forum was not because of the lack of the community but instead the lack of real developers to support the device. To quote what the mod I talked to he said that
"XDA-developers" is a forum made for developers. Having even a thousand active members on a specific device but only have a handful of developers won't make it eligible for its own dedicated forum. As much as we'd like to provide every device it's own forum we also consider the cluttering of the forum itself so we are just narrowing down the devices on which we could get more active development than a forum full of average user questions.

@strapped, no offense, but that site seems kinda dead. Just like rootzwiki. Xda will create a thread for you guys eventually. I don't see the point in fragmenting the device across two sites. Keep at it

The scotsman messaged me back in response to a question I asked and his reply was that the decision is made by forum owners and admins over his head based on development potential of the device.
Now that, my friends, seems to be a bit of a debatable point doesn't it lol?
That being said - does anyone remember how long it took the DS to get a dedicated forum?

Now that XDA isn't accommodating, creating a dev section for the device there might just be what that site needs to bring it back to life

Well either quit *****ing about xda not making y'all a thread or try to go to sdx. A lot of guys I have dealt with are from sdx. But lemme guess its a popularity contest? Y'all are a trip wanting more then what's needed, and that's just a place to call home, I'm so glad I decided not to get that device as I see most of this community will be.

1. I'm not *****ing. I don't even have this device
2. It is a popularity contest. Xda has way more devs and exposure than the site you mentioned. Do I want more than what's needed? Of course. Who wouldn't?
3. Everyone buys a device for X reason. Avoiding a device because of the users is your choice. No one cares if you don't get this device
4. You mad bro?
Honestly I thought we were friends, but I guess not... last person I expected to come out like this was you. Unless my English went bad overnight, someone tell me I'm reading this wrong

1. If not *****ing then why not go somewhere that could potentially give a home for that device....on a Samsung hacking site.
2. Popularity? Really, being popular has nothing at all to do with development. The best dev in the world could have this device and with no home, no one would ever know. So wouldn't you rather risk it? I personally post on themikmik sdx and xda.....why more advertisement
4. Is just a personal choice because of what I see in these threads.( device and slider related in general)
5. Mad nah not me, I'm getting the N4 as soon as I save my allowance ( joking )
You got my first morning post and yes I'm tired of sdx getting played. I learned so much from them guys and a few of them brought straight cm code into Sense for a first ever seen mod that everyone uses now. So I don't agree with xda being the holy grail of hackers and only thou can come here for their needs. Xda has really stopped caring for the average user and ONLY CARE ABOUT AD REVENUE and having the devices they feel will get them the most.
So I do wanna say "I'm sorry gtmaster303". Never meant to sound like the shot was at you when it was meant for xda. They need to see and realize their not the only place to come for hacks anymore, so stop treating us like kids and only giving us what XDA wants. If they were really for the user that thread would have been made as soon as something development related could have been posted

"XDA-developers" is a forum made for developers. Having even a thousand active members on a specific device but only have a handful of developers won't make it eligible for its own dedicated forum. As much as we'd like to provide every device it's own forum we also consider the cluttering of the forum itself so we are just narrowing down the devices on which we could get more active development than a forum full of average user questions.

Thanks. Although I don't agree with you completely, it's good to know you didn't go rogue on me all of a sudden. If xda wants ad revenue, they would be creating ads for every device out. Although I don't understand why they won't readily create a forum for a device that clearly needs it. I don't agree with their logic. If there's even one dev for a device, a forum should be made. That's like saying "we'll only host the most popular of devices." By that token, popularity should not ensue. And under that jurisdiction, technically the Doubleshot shouldn't exist here either. Our community is quite small, even for a dev community. Most of the daily page hits xda gets from us are the same couple dozen people, some of which login multiple times per day (because they have no life, myself included )
But popularity of the site is still necessary. not that many people know about sdx. When they look for a new phone to buy (devs and modders alike) most will come to xda and poke around to see if the activity is up to their liking. If not, they'll probably search for a new device. Main reason why I haven't switched over to a Captivate Glide or a Droid 4...

I must be weird then as I bought my device because
1. It was the closest thing to a G3 on the market and
2. I was (and still am) angry with and done with HTC after the lack of ICS on the doubleshot.
Oh and 3. My DS died;(
Nonetheless if we decide to move to that other site I'll have to get an android app for it lol.
I'm growing disgruntled with XDA lately but its kinda like a drug for me... and strapped... this device stock is just about equivalent to my ds when it died with regards to ease of use and overall response. I DO miss a trackpad and the home button lags just a bit... but that could be me having an aftermarket launcher with touchwiz frozen but not uninstalled.

I've had these 2 questions for months and I can't find a proper answer..here goes
1-my career allows the federal Ntsb to pull my cell phone records to see if my phone is on..(big brother)I have in the past blocked location, and ipv6..but it's probably not enough..
2-tethering to the Xbox through the computer(easy tether) 3g is solid with around .600 upload ..recently got 4g and my uploads are less than 3g while tethering..is Verizon doing this? Will a open dns help? I'm looking at a android hack called netforks to help with speeds, but maybe it has to do with a port, because netflix and gaming alike is Stymied
Cleanrom,incubus,pure's and cm10 linaro all with similar outcomes
Txs
Obviously your career doesn't require grammar because I have no clue what the heck you just ask/said.

Neither 1 nor 2 were questions. I am right there with you, I read this post earlier and was wondering exactly what he wanted to know because it seems like he is just hypothesising.

OK here goes in dumb downed English for you..
Question 1- Verizon and alike through court order will turn over cell records to the federal government ( national transportation board)I'm looking at ways to block my location on my cellular device.,also known as a cell phone...
Question 2
Does Verizon monitor (for example)ports 58&63 and then throttle them.. by this I mean Xbox uses certain server ports for gaming through.. is there a work around?
Now if someone has working knowledge of how to do either please post up.. but if your as dimly light as the other two then go to the theme section and gaze at all the pretty colors
I have info i would love to share and help you out with, however you're a complete ass, so i won't.
Just so you know, your first post had no questions, those kind people who replied simply wanted you to clarify your request so they could help you.
Perhaps you could check your rage at the door, and get some better help. Good luck

Speaking of dimly light (sic), NTSB is National Transportation Safety Board. The Safety part is really the key reason the board exists.
I've seen your advice b4(pull battery and restart).. and im glad your Google search to fiqure out what NTSB is was fruitfull

I have a great idea. I think I will post a question in the wrong section, and then start bashing everyone that responds to my posts. My original post wasn't coherent at all, and that means I need to be an extra large jackass to everyone who replies.
Hey OP, here is a question. If you are in the type of career field that monitors your cell phone usage, why are you posting a question in a forum that you need to dumb down what you say for people who are obviously not as intelligent as you? I work for the Federal Government and I don't get monitored. What do you do?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yeah OP, not a good idea to be really rude. You're not going to get any help on xda if you are.
I work for Dept. of Defense and I don't get monitored either.

Even in his other post that he "dumbed down" he didn't write a question for the first part.

With an attitude like that, you're likely not going to find help anywhere.
FYI: In your first sentence, it should be dumbed down not dumb downed. In your last sentence where you bash those who were pointing out the lack of clarity or an actual question in your OP there are two mistakes - It's you're not your and it's dimly lit not dimly light. Those mistakes combined with the utter nonsense in your OP show you may actually be the dimly lit one.
Good day.
So I ask a question that was not phrased properly...and instead of answers I get bs..then I defend my original question and have to answer back with being a smart ass..the point was lost by once again pre-madonas''-) if you don't have an answer for the question than piss off..no one wanted your opinion..if I asked for opinions and got answers than you all have **** for brains and natural selection will extinguish you in time.."the stupid will rise "is your motto..
