Sorry for the harassments as you are not alone. Best thing to do is "report" the PM you received so we Mods can take care of them, and hit the "ignore" button in their profile so you don't receive any further messages until the Mods have done their job.

We actually prefer that the PM's received from these pitiful members are reported vs posting them in public so we have the evidence we need to say Buh Bye!

Just the one will do from any given member. See how fast I got rid of those other two. Thanks for reporting them.

This is crazy, I just reported 2 people and two others showed up shortly after.
Is there anyway to turn off this kind of conversations ?

!?!?!SPAM?!?!?!?! How do we stop it ???

This SPAM crap is got to STOP.........WTF
Pissed
Mike
Agree
I think the best way is to report any spam inmediatly here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306366&page=12
If we all toghether report smpam our dear Mods & Admins will happyly erase it!
but maybe those users are bots which will register here everytime with another username. So a tougher captcha would prevent bots from registering. Or this is someone who dislikes xdadev.
i think an option to mark something as spam would be helpfull...
When a Thread got marked as spam eg 30 times it willl be removed
don't know about this ...

I have a spam attack recently at my forum and synce then I've been using this:
http://www.stopforumspam.com/
It's a web that provides ip, mail and name validation for spamers.
There's an VBulletin plugin available at the VBulletin forum here that interacts with this stopforumspam for automatic online validation during user registration:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=176481
I know this is not the best forum to post this... but as this is the one having the problems... I'm just trying to help you keep this awesome forum clean .
Hope this helps solving the problem...
Thanks for XDADevelopers!!

i hope moderators on ot now if it stops DAMN SPAMS
Agree
There's got to be some way of stopping it before that spam jerk get's 30 posts in 5 minutes.....come Mod's what do you think ????
It's like having a pop-up blocker...but it blocks SPAM.....We all come a long way here...and I think it's nice...I don't need to see a pop-up spam ad for every device.
We are quite fast as spam killers,

Very true! I don't think there is a problem ridding of the spam, but there is one with it being posted. The one that really gets me mad are the ones that post the same dang thing 4 or 5 times, in new threads, all within minutes!

Power hungry moderators

Thanks to the genius that deleted my thread about fixing the phantom voicemail without an email or even moving it to another section, as I have seen done with so many other threads.
I would have thought fixing the phantom voicemail was a development issue, as its a problem in ever AOSP rom ive tested, and I was attempting to contribute to the solution.
But someone decided they were high and mighty instead...

This is probably the wrong way to go about this. You should probably try to find out why first...
Wow... cry much?

LOL U MAD. Also, that should have been in Q&A, not dev.
They probably deleted it BC your not actually contributing any "dev " work. Roms, kernals, ports etc usually go in the Dec section. Questions go in the general section.

Well if your post is deleted does it drop your post count?
If a post is deleted, it lowers your count. I've had it happen many times. :3
Send a message to the mod asking why it was deleted. That is a much better way to resolve the issue. Just my 2¢

I am said genius.
I deleted it as it was not a Development thread, and therefore should have been in Q&A. If you choose to post in the wrong forum, I wil delete the thread. I'm not here to run after you and move your posts.
If you have any further issues, please feel free to PM me.

Dude..There are 100 MILLION posts with the same response.
Do me a favor...PM a moderator and ask to have your account banned. Take one for the boards..lol
Seriously, do a search before you post.
FLAME ON BROTHERSSSSSS
lol. I think he's contributing.. one more person asking for unlocked bootloader could all make the difference. dont flame the guy. if anything thanks.
calm down I know there are zillions of other threads just like this ,but my point was to show people we probably aren't gonna get it for a while ,I see all these great insider post like were getting it Friday ,or were getting it next Monday ...etc you get my drift , if htc still don't know then nobody does , I figure the more of us aggravate them maybe they will get sick of us and just do it

+1, I know it's not the boards policy to spam a manufacture, I do believe it helps if we are more vocal to HTC about our displeasure with the bootloader situation, look at how it helped last time when they asked.

Honestly I'm the same.
It should've been there since the start. But then again, iOS doesn't have it. So it seems like were not "late".
It would be good if the user got an email notifying them that the Dev has replied to them.

Wish they could let other users reply to reviews as well. I get really annoyed when I see someone leave a bad review for an app due to their lack of knowledge. For example any popular app that clearly states it requires root will usually have some 1 star reviews saying it doesn't work on my phone.

Don't get me started on that. And also the "how do I root my [email protected] <insert phone here>???!!!?!" comments. They're just utterly childish. But we do have the option to rate the comment down.
Haven't seen any other Developers using the new feature yet (better give them time, it only came out yesterday ), but hope the use it soon. It's useful.

Same. developers have to feed all users even if the requests are stupid, otherwise they will get 1 star. Why not also rating to users?
And this is only offered to TOP developers at this time.
come on devs give this to normal devs already

WHATSAPP CALL FEATURE [Discontinued] DO NOT OPEN

The latest WhatsApp feature is generating a lot of duplicate threads on XDA, drowning other threads in the process. Many are also posted in the wrong section. We're closing down all invite threads to keep the clutter down to a minimum. Instead, please use The Consolidated WhatsApp Calling Thread as a consolidated thread for all discussions related to the WhatsApp calling feature and invites. Thank you!​
Hello Guys I'm back for the calling feature, my previous thread was closed. So opened a new thread. The Calling Feature is absolutely working now servers are up again so http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-2-11-561-android-apk-download/ download the apk from the link and update it. After updating dont PM me or reply in this thread. Just message me in whatsapp I will call you for sure. DO NOT REPLY HERE. Forum editor will close the thread. Be fast I assume the severs may get closed by today evening.
Guys be fast servers may get down. Dont blame afterwards.
