I'd like to report an indirect violation of XDA rules here. This forum prohibits offensive speech, which, I assume, includes racism.
And while there's no *direct* violation of this rule currently present, a thread in this forum points to an online location where racism runs amok. By promoting this online location, XDA indirectly endorses racism.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261177
This is the thread which points to the Epic Touch IRC channel. Racism in this channel is almost unbearable. Unsuspecting XDA members may be inclined to join the channel, where they may become the subject of especially hateful speech. This reflects badly on the Epic Touch community and on XDA community as a whole.
I propose that either the thread pointing to hate speech (the IRC thread) or the perpetrator of this hate speech (RoadRAGEN, http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=933820 ) be removed from XDA.
There's absolutely no reason why XDA should continue to endorse this behavior.
Here's just one example of this hate speech. I'd like to point out that I've seen this kind of egregious behavior on multiple occasions in the IRC channel.
This is a full transcript of IRC chat posted without editing:

I think it is safe to say that this man is beyond redemption, just listen to him. Especially since he has been warned about this racism before.
Please either ban him from XDA or remove the thread pointing to his channel on IRC.
Thanks.
It tells you how to ignore someone as soon as you pop in the channel. You all were feeding the guy. If everyone iggy him he will go away...

I am not saying its anyones fault. From what I gather the user boominz called user cnz a cracker before you entered the room. Who ever started tossing the comments first I dont know, that really doesnt matter. I think the point cnz was trying to make is why is it OK for him to be called a cracker, and when he says a derogatory word he (cnz) becomes a racist. This is a major problem in the US today. Rather than United we are being Divided and our government is one of the major players in keeping us Divided. Imagine the power We the People could have IF we Unite! But they keep us split with racism, keeping a 2 party system. Republicans vrs Democrats, Republicans are the rich greedy white old men and Democrats are for the people, minorities especially. That is a crock of ****! Anyway not trying to get political, I am not backing either cnz or boominz. Both were wrong for calling out racial comments.
example...I for one dislike our current President, Obama. In keeping racism alive white guilt is being thrown upon us, I am now racist because I dislike Obama, according to the media. However I do like Herman Cain, a black man running for Republican Presidential nomination. Where is the media backing a black running for the President this election? They are to busy trying to pick the candidate they want to run against Obama, Mitt Romney (another empty suit, like John McCain).
racism is not OK, it is also not OK to be called honky, cracker, and what not.

When I troll, it bugs me when my trolling is not acknowledged. I would have just ignored the dude.
There is no indirect violation of rules here folks. XDA's Forum Rules are for XDA alone - not for anywhere else on the Internet. XDA is in no way affiliated with anything on IRC. What happens there stays there. If it translates over to XDA then we action it.
Now as to posts directing people there - i see no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. You don't like what goes on there - you don't have to participate. No one makes you go there, you do so of your own free will and volition.
End of discussion. Closing this thread.

My guess, It will come back! Hey, I kept personal files and videos i shared and so far lost or at least until it comes back. Not all of it was pirated stuff. So their is legitimate use for it. I think megaupload's Lawyers have some amo to fight with, don't give up yet. Look at the "Pirate Bay" for example, it has won many fights.

Yea but this guy, Kim Dotcom(lmao), is under critical fire my friend! I don't think he'll be out anytime soon...He's been charged with a felony once before, on which he banked $42 million, BUT under German law, it was swept under the rug. And my guess is that the US government will not be as forgiven for the current charges that have been brought up against him...two of them being RACKETEERING and MONEY LAUNDERING??? WTF...but not only that, Megaupload has had endorsements from high profile celeb's which will bring this case into the limelight, so pretty soon everyone is gonna be talking about it, at which point the government will definitely not want to loss this one...http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/01/19/feds-shut-down-file-sharing-website/

I don't know what the HE77 happened to a government "of the people, by the people, for the people", but this shizz is getting dam old. First online poker, then pirate bay (well, I understand that one), SOPA, PIPA, Megaupload. When will this government stop being so intrusive. I blame it on all of us voters. We have let the government have control for too long. We need to wise up peeps, and take our liberty back!
Ok, done with my rant.

Well....it's not like megaupload DIDNT have a bunch of pirated stuff.
But i think anonymous just got played. Shutting down megaupload shortly before the SOPA vote...you have to expect an anonymous attack. Which in this light makes it look like they're supporting piracy. And attacking government sites... i hate to say it but it might just scare the legislators into voting FOR sopa.

...and it's not like knives haven't killed thousands of people. Want to outlaw knives? Are all owners of knives suspect?
Do not conflate a tool with its use.

I'm still not so sure about that. A number of them were scared into dropping support once they realized that had no idea what was actually going on in the bill or on the internet for that matter. The public backlash was pretty tangible. If things get more serious protests would likely get more intense and the backlash would likely be epic.
Do I think that means that SOPA/PIPA have been defeated? Tough question. Chances are bills called "SOPA" and/or "PIPA" will likely never get passed...but I think it's not unlikely that they will be dismantled into pieces and stuffed into "feed the poor orphans" bills, "job creation" bills and "unemployment extension" bills....what kind of heartless prick would vote against unemployment benefit extension, jobs creation and feeding poor orphans?
...only honest politicians. Good luck finding one of those let alone enough to keep something named like that from passing.
Well, as you all know the government only works for the rich. So, when the rich think there precious profits might be damaged they will arrest you. That is exactly what happened with pirate bay. They forced a foreign government to arrest people who hadnt committed a crime in their own country.
For the record I use megaupload all the time to download roms. I think we all do. They are far from pirated so hopefully they will see the site has a great legitimate purpose.

Bradley just defeated the former pound for pound welterweight world champion manny pacquiao by bull**** decision
Wtf? Really. Thats crap.

CRAZY decision. Manny WOOPED Bradley the ENTIRE fight. I dont understand how two judges ruled in Bradleys favor, makes no sense. But hey, its Karma if you asked me. Juan Marquez, who fought Manny in his last fight, was ROBBED out of that win! Though, this fight wasnt even close!
How do you guys feel about GOV Agentcies having the power to read your text messages/emails/listen in on phonecalls. I hear there building super computers in nevada that are dato Niming the internet. Is this a safe conversation? Should I hide. Love my s3 btw, CM10 is working as intended. Does incognito mode help?
I for one completely love that my privacy gets invaded......sarcasm

MittRomney would never let this happen.
Honestly, I couldn't give a **** about them reading all my stuff. I mean, I'm not a terrorist. They'd learn more from my official records and documents than my texts/calls/emails....
Unless they start using this against us, I will never care.

I'm pretty sure that the government only even looks at texts/calls/etc. to help with police investigations and similar things. If they did something big that would affect us, everyone would go ape**** crazy which would be like suicide for the US government.
I'd be fine with an invisible guy looking through my window and furiously masturbating - As long as it doesn't affect me and I won't notice, I don't care.
This can be solved quite easily.
If everyone would forward every email/text they send to a government computer in order to "save them the trouble" of having to data mine their own citizens...
I'm sure their "supercomputers" could handle the extra traffic.
I hate this question because of course I don't like it but what the [email protected]$ am I to do about it? Nothing. I just have to know it happens.
The point is that the only way out seems to be moving on the countryside, have a farm and live isolated from any statal or corporate agency. That means no internet, no cell, no fun! At least while you´re young :laugh:
But it doesn´t surprise me that they´re building such kind of suveillance computers.
I wonder if he noticed the black helicopters flying around him as he was starting the thread.
Im glad they do it. Ill never forget what happened to us on sept 11th. Im so sick of people *****ing about there civil rights and being scanned at airportd or privacy being invaded. Heres the facts there are dangerous people that hate the USA. if this is what it takes to keep a suicide bomber blowing up a mall im in or hijacking a plane im on go right ahead. When you hear abiut the cia or feds stopping a shoe bomber or something like that do you think it was by accident? No its from them doing what they have to do. I look at it like this american tax payers pays the govt very very well for certain agencies to keep us safe. Do whatever the hell you have to do to do it

It seems to me your are a textbook case of being affected by the good ol fear tactic. Are there bad people in this world? Yes of course. That doesnt mean you trample on the rights of every single individual to look for a few. Your asking your self the wrong question. What do you think America is doing around the world that makes people want to come here and do terrible things like 9/11. Our country, This united states was founded on a constitution where you are enstilled rights for your protection. Dont so easily turn your back on your liberties because of fear. If your scared go to church.
Doesn't bother me, I'm not a terrorist. I'm sure the GOV would love to see my texts from my wife about what time we have to pick up the kids from school and what not...
If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about and I hope this doesn't come as a surprise but there is no privacy on the Internet.
Sent from my PDP–11
Our internet traffic has been "overseen" much longer than you think.
Things that could have been prevented were intentionally ignored since the govt would rather refuse to confirm that they have been spying than to have to explain how they knew about such things beforehand.
They will only get more intrusive as technology evolves and no matter what the people want, this is the way of the world.

you guys really have to appreciate the obscene amount of work it would be to go through 300 million ppls daily conversations with a tiny tiny fraction of that # of ppl, and then how many thousands of years it would take the greatest supercomputers alive to brute force ONE persons 128-bit encryption. ur safe lol

This post is joking... right?
The TSA has so many flaws and security holes. There are so many things that you can bring on a plane and use for harmful intent without the TSA knowing. I have a knife keychain (press a button and a sharp knife pops out) and it's never been questioned or confiscated while going through a TSA check. I've gone on at least 6 flights this summer too.
Say some terrorists want to get on a plane. You have 6 terrorists, they all have ipads. They all get first class front seatings. You can have 2 people use their ipads to knock out the pilots - This would be possible and not that hard if they were trained. Then you hijack the plane and have the 4 people guard you (using their ipads as weapons) while the other 2 crash the plane. This sounds like a really crazy scenario, but it could work. Instead of iPads, they could think of a way to get knives on the plane. (Once again, TSA has so many security flaws that this won't be a problem).
The government definitely keeps us safe in a bunch of ways but the TSA is not one of them. The TSA is really just useless and has a negative impact on the innocent people taking the flight.

This is 2012 people... remember the movie Enemy of The State? U thought that was Hollywood? They've had that technology available even b4 the movie came out back in 98... 14 yrs later think of how advanced the technology is... The only privacy left is the inside of ur head just like they quoted in the movie...
Not sure that will be private for very long.

"I am not going to be running around trying to get 75 pages of briefings for people who are not going to be testifying," U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh told Apple's lawyer Bill Lee.
"I mean come on. 75 pages! 75 pages! You want me to do an order on 75 pages, (and) unless you're smoking crack, you know these witnesses aren't going to be called when you have less than four hours," Koh said.

So it appears apple is at it again. Among the products on Apple’s ***t list, the Note II is also part of this next battle. Which apparently will take place in the spring of next year.

It would be nice if this company (speaking of apple), would just support open development, open source ideology rather than try to slam somebody like a spoiled little brat on a playground somewhere simply because they are doing something better than them.
Hey apple, step up your game and stop selling ****ty products, and you won’t need to sue other companies in order to get your profits back from them.
What a joke.
All those who agree, say “I”
I am boycotting all things Apple. Nothing Apple will be allowed in my house. iPods, earphones, everything. If it was made by Apple or even breathed on by Apple, it is going in the trash, and replaced by something better.

WOW .. It took you long enough to catch up with the real world.. giggles.. Apple has a place in technology. They give android developers and manufacturers something to look down on..And the 3rd rate companies motivation to get better.Apple stuff is well made and thought out to be user friendly. The only issue is that the uses who find it friendly do not really know whats its like to have control over what they really want.
If you have never had cake you do not want cake that much because you do not know what your missing..

Thing is. The note 2 had been out already for so long. By the time the case is heard and deliberated well be on note 4. So let them waste money on trying to kill a by then 2 year old device. A little late Apple don't you think. Stupid fruits.

The thing with Apple is the iphone is as advanced as they want it. They make tons off of itunes. Right now, there R&D department is hard at work trying to think of a way they can change the iphone without giving people more control. Even adding an sd slot would give people a way to buy music anywhere and put it on there phone without itunes. So it is there law department in charge of slowing down every one else progress.
