I'm getting seriously annoyed with the xda marketplace. Everytime I put a new thread up for wanting to buy a nexus one it gets removed. For no reason. I'm no scammer I have 100% feedback on ebay why is the admin removing all my threads.
On top of that I can't PM anyone. Why is this the case.
PM a Mod or Admin, they will let you know what is going on with your accound

It could just be because you're relatively new and don't have too many posts outside of the marketplace. With regard to PMs not working, I think that definitely is a malfunction rather than a restriction.
As Orb said, PMing a mod/admin would do the trick, but obviously you can't
I'll do it for you.
Edit: It seems nobody's online right now, but I've PMed Mike to let him know when he's around.

Hi, this is just because you needed to reach 30 posts before you are permitted to use the Marketplace.

Try going to User CP on top brown bar then to Edit Options on the left.
On the screen that appears scroll down to the Private Messaging option and tick/check the box.

Dear admins,
i think we must take an action to stop scammers. This is just a suggestion.
I think users who has zero post, or below 50 couldnt be able to open thread.
This may stop scammers.
what you think ?

Well report it (top right) or use the SPAM thread to report it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306366
That thread is not only long standing but also a sticky and its in this same section. Thus you can see we are dealing with it,
I have noticed that there is a large amount of double posting & people simply not following the rules in this section. There is like one moderator for that section & he is a developer, and of course spending his time on that, all of the rest are retired.. We need more mods there (At least two of them)
So please add a some mods there, I would even be more then happy helping out. It is just needed..

Pulser has brought the issue to our attention, and I can assure that within a week or so there will be significant improvement.
@All: As the clown said, please use the Report Post option for threads that need to be dealt with. All Senior and Forum mods are notified when reports come in, so someone will act swiftly.
Just so everybody knows...I started moderating this forum a week ago...and I am doing my best to keep up with things...and I would say I am doing a pretty good job so far.
I agree with the OP things are bad right now but we are working to change that.
If you want to help send me a PM with anything you see that I can help with.

I tried to PM mikechannon about the issue that is still occurring on the Vibrant forums.
Instead of it getting better, it seems to be getting worse..
"There is constant flaming/off topic going on there. I have posted about this issue before, and the MOD's just said to report those post.
Even though I have been reporting those post that contain cursing/advertising/off topic/spam/etc they some how don't seem to get moderated.
In some threads there have been several "Clean Up's" yet there still seems to be flaming & off topic.. Once again :/
I know there is one moderator that is for that section specifically (Krook6023) and there is sometimes another moderator that comes around, I can't think of his name at the moment.."
Is there any more we can do?

The latest Android sections are a mess, plain and simple. The sheer number of users with Galaxy devices in general is a lot. We have many mods scattered throughout the site who are not online 24/7, so if we don't catch something, simply report it and be patient. We cannot stop the flaming from happening, but we do our best.
We see all Reported Posts, no exceptions but we evaluate the severity and act based on it.

Can you point me to it? I don't see anything reported by you in the Reported Posts. As for the applications, they are closed at the moment and we do have mod(s) in that forum: 1 full time (krook as you mentioned earlier), as well as me, and a couple of others who swing by every so often.
Well one problem is we can't really report threads within the app

This thread is not about saying if you think IncDoes should be banned. I am looking for a mod response on this, and do not care if the thread gets closed after that. However, I would like to know, as he is often (at least one of) the first to get stuff booting on our phones. Thank you.
Why would you create a thread like this. A moderator will not comment on an issue like this. Something like that is kept between the mods of this site. This is only going to start a flame war.
He wont be banned because he hasn't done anything wrong on this site. At least that's my take on it.

i'm one of the ones who was scammed. the credibility of every dev is questioned if idiots like incredibledoes continue to pump out works that people support, if he does his work from stolen money/phones.
my personal suggestion is that he get banned, if not for his misdemeanors but because of his quickly tarnishing reputation as a "dev". as we all know, the title of dev is highly regarded and comes with it a level of respect and trust. after all, you are flashing his code on to a device which you plan on using constantly during your everyday activities.
oh and he's actually just a punk kid with some dev skills.
Worry about yourself.

As stated before, you should check if something disrupts the display. Happened to me once when my phone was on the bed and I wanted to press anything on the screen, the notification bar would open. Turned out to be my glasses which partly covered the display at the top
This question should have been posted in the Q&A section, however.

Almost every single one of your comments is you ranting and bringing others down. Seriously, cut it out. This forum is here to help people and not to make them feel bad or inferior. Even if the question was posted in the wrong forum, doesn't mean you have the right to treat others like that.
Just because they're new it doesn't give them right to spam dev section. They simply lack brain, otherwise I can't explain how is possible to post question here instead of Q&A.

And just because they're new doesn't give YOU the right to bring them down. Remember, you were new once, too. And I'm sure you didn't know as much as you do now when you first joined. That's why people join forums like this, because they wanna learn.
Sure, they should stick to the rules, but there is no need to become agressive about this.

True, I was new. But I was able to read and to comprehend written text.
This has nothing to do with being new; users that can't read and understand description of each section, are illiterate. That's not me bringing them down, that's a fact.
i had a thread up about trading a bunch of stuff for a macbook pro. it was at the point where the trade was in progress but not concluded and the thread was deleted. I didnt know where else to post this so if a mod could help me understand that would be great.
Thanks.
Laptops aren't allowed on XDA. Only phones, tablets, and accessories bro.

You can include a laptop or computer as PART of a trade, but it cannot take up the entire one side of a trade. The moderators have more important things to tend to than policing the Marketplace (which they don't, unless something is specifically breaking the rules). Additionally, if no one actually reported the thread (most people wouldn't), then a mod just happened to stumble upon it 8 days later like you said.

He didn't offer a laptop at all. He was offered one. He had tablets and phones and some other things. The trade was already in progress. He had shipped like $700 worth of stuff already. It definitely should not have been closed.
My mistake for misreading. I agree, the mod should have done some investigative work before closing a thread. I wish mods would PM the OP with a warning or something.
Well I was in the middle of a trade and was hoping to get the thread back until the trade has concluded.

Public thread for this is not the best way to solve an issue. Use PM instead.
Besides if you read the marketplace rules you´ll find the reason why it was deleted
I wasn't the one that removed it, but since a deal was in progress, I will restore it.
Next time, please read our rules before posting...although I have read your OP and see your situation.
Only phones, tablets and accessories are permitted.
The netbook and PS Vita are not, but as you said, the thread was already 8 pages, so finish the deal.
